Final Fantasy Ultimate Box goes from PSOne to PS3: All 13 games for $450

Posted in: Today's Chili

Final Fantasy Ultimate Box packs all 13 games for $450 from PSOne to PS3, with some extra commemorative goodness

To mark 25 years of dungeon crawling (and soft-resetting), Square-Enix has packaged together all of its core Final Fantasy titles for this elaborate fan-baiting package. Alongside discs for Final Fantasies I through XIII, the games-maker has packaged a numbered presentation plaque — replete with new artwork from renowned character artist Yoshitaka Amano — alongside a two-disc soundtrack and commemorative DVD. The price of a limited-edition slice of Final Fantasy heritage? A total of 35,000 gil yen, (around $450) will net you the compilation, which lands on December 18th. Japan residents can hit the source for preorder details, while global enthusiasts can read up on the full title (and format) breakdown — there’s no news of an international release just yet.

PS Vita v1.80 update now available, PSOne titles for download revealed (video)

PS Vita v1.80 update now available, PSOne titles for download revealed

Of all the new features in firmware version 1.80 we’re pretty sure that the ability to play PSOne classics was fairly high on people’s want-list. Well, the update is live, and with it a list of the titles available. There are nine on offer today for US Vita owners, which are: Arc the Lad, Cool Boarders 2, Final Fantasy VII, Hot Shots Golf 2, Jet Moto, Syphon Filter, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal 2 and Wild Arms, with hopefully more to follow. This is in stark contrast to what’s available over the pond, as Kotaku points out, with over 100 titles hitting European shores from tomorrow — somewhat of an imbalance. But, with Sony said to be targeting a younger crowd, maybe it’s banking on some of them not remembering the PlayStation’s golden age. Feature tour video after the break.

Sony Japan: PSOne classics coming to Vita in summer update, PlayStation 3 to get downloadable PS2 catalog later this month

Posted in: Today's Chili

PS One classics coming to Vita in 18 update, PS3 gets access to downloadable PS2 catalogue in Japan later this month

If you’ve been aching to wile away hundreds more hours replaying Final Fantasy classics on the go, then Sony Japan’s got some good news for you. It’s finally revealed that the ability to play those charming, if a little dated, PSOne titles will arrive on the PS Vita‘s next software update, version 1.80, later this summer. This little nugget was tucked away behind the news that a handful of PS2 titles, playable on all versions of the PS3, will launch in the Japanese PlayStation Store on July 25th. The first wave of titles include Biohazard Code: Veronica, Siren and Dragon Force, all priced between 800 and 1,200 yen. No news yet, however, on when (or if) a similar retro-gaming bounty will arrive outside of Japan.
