How fans can get Konami to re-release Suikoden II on U.S. PSN

Oscar Lee September 23, 2014 News, PS3, PSP, Sony, Vita No Comments

Yuichi Haga, Online Content Producer for Konami Digital Entertainment, has divulged his latest efforts in trying to get the Japanese side of the company to consider re-releasing Suikoden II on the U.S. PSN. On a Twitch TV stream, he said that he understood fans are frustrated but he is currently working on in.

Ultimately, it is up to the Japan to decide as the U.S. office wants the PSN re-release just as much as fans. So what can the fans do? Yuichi Haga proposes that they should try to get the attention from Konami Japan by hitting up the company’s Facebook. The fans should mention that they have been following Twitch TV stream and then ask for U.S. PSN re-release for Suikoden II.

Yuichi Haga had some success getting through to Japan when he streamed the first Suikoden. His previous effort lead to meetings about the series with the higher-ups. He plans to stream the entirety of Suikoden II and the rest of the series.

If you aren’t familiar with the video game, it is considered to be one of the best RPGs ever created. Unfortunately, the localized version is also incredibly hard to find and you have to pay an absurd amount of money (check out its current price right now on Amazon). A re-release on PSN should solve both those problems.

As an owner of a real copy of Suikoden 2, I would be more than happy for it to get a digital release.

Game is fantastic. Really is.

Yeah, I agree.  I own a copy, as well, and I would probably re-buy a digital version to show my support for the series and to have a back-up copy.  If I could play it on the Vita, I would definitely buy the digital version.

The game had such an incredible story, one that made you really agonize over the central conflict.  Besides that, it had one of the best villains to ever grace a video-game.  Luca Blight wasn't just vicious and twisted, he was a complete and total bad-ass.

I`ve played Suikoden 1 and really enjoyed it (I`ve actually bought S3). But I really want to play S2 because I hear extremely good things about it. I`m definitely gonna hit up that FB page.

Same here.  I stopped using the offical strategy guide awhile ago and would love to do the same with the disc game.  I play through all of suikoden at least once a year.

I've wanted to play this game for years but I can't justify the price tag on sites like eBay. Please, Konami, make it happen.

I still regret the day that I bought the only available copy of Suikoden 2 for my brother instead of for myself....

The story started to drag after two thirds of  the game because of a certain event that the rest of the game's story couldn't compare to.  They should have switched a few things around and made that happen later in the game until before the beast rune summoning and then the last battle..
