Konami registers 'Genso Suikoden' in US

Late last week, Konami registered the title Genso Suikoden with the United States Patent and Trademark office. While no further details are available, the filing may be one of many different possibilities: a new game in the series (known simply as Suikoden in North America), a remake of the original Suikoden or a US release of the poor-selling Japan-only PSP compilation, which included slightly enhanced versions of Suikoden I & II.

The nearly 15 year old series has been getting quite a push from Konami in recent months. In late 2008, Konami released the original PlayStation version of Suikoden on the PlayStation Network, while the Nintendo DS received the latest game in the series -- Suikoden Tierkreis -- in March.

YAY!

Just waiting for them to port Suikoden 2 for XBLA (zomg achivements? ;) or put out on PSN so I can buy this game, again.

Weird....

Why register the japanese name?? They never used it before in the NA releases

I paid a lot for my copy a few years ago.

I guess they will reboot the series with a Suikoden 1 remake.

Makes no sense. It was recently released in PSN. There's no worse time to do a remake than now

There is never a bad time for a new Suikoden, right zexen?

wish it was for psp

Well, of course not, but I'd rather have news of Suiko VI. Still, where Suikoden goes, in whichever form, I'll follow

I'll buy it :)
