Suikoden VI for the PSP?

July 1st, 2008 Posted by John Layfield

According to German game site Gamefront.de, a Japanese wholesaler had the game on a pricing list but the entry has since been deleted.

The entry, available on the front page of the previously mentioned site, translates roughly as follows.

Konami Plan New Genso Suikoden?

01.07.08 - UNCONFIRMED: Konami could perhaps be working on a new Genso Suikoden. There was a price list from a Japanese wholesaler show in which the role-playing game temporarily appeared.

Meanwhile, the entry is deleted. If the price list was correct, the game could still be announced this week in Japan.

Konami has no new Genso Suikoden for PSP announced at this time.

However, the rumour, which seems to have originated from 2ch is said to be a lot less detailed than reported on forums and gaming sites. Don’t get too excited.

Thanks again to Sage for his quick work in translating the page.

Suikoden on Your Mobile

June 24th, 2008 Posted by John Layfield

As we can see from this link, the original Genso Suikoden has been made available through Konami Net DX, a subscription mobile phone service from Konami offering many different features in Japan. The game is available for subscribers to the service (315 Yen a month, including tax) on cell phones of a 703/903i system or higher. It costs 500 “DX Points” to download.

Obviously the picture resolution has been changed to fit a cell phone but it appears to be a faithful port of the original game. Screenshots are available below.

Suikoden on the PlayStation Network?

May 8th, 2008 Posted by John Layfield

According to this link at the ESRB site, a Suikoden game has been rated for release on the PlayStation Portable and the PlayStation 3.

The game has the same rating (Everyone) and the same content more or less (Mild Language, Mild Violence compared to the original’s Animated Violence, Mild Language) as the original Suikoden, released on the PSOne way back in 1995.

While not conclusive evidence, it does suggest an attempt to continue some sort of awareness of the Suikoden series as news regarding a rumoured Suikoden VI continues to be thin on the ground.
