Konami and Capcom Goodness 05 March 2007
After the success of Gradius Portable on PSP, Konami have announced a further 3 retro-collections, again for Sony's handheld system. Parodius, Salamander and TwinBee will all get their own "Collections", each containing 5 titles. The Parodius one in particular stands out (I've always enjoyed Parodius more than Gradius, anyway) and the TwinBee compilation will be worth snapping up too - another great series. Either would be perfectly suited titles for handheld fun, and should take pride in any PSP collection, methinks.
Capcom also have another retro collection coming up, this time with a sequel to Capcom Classics Collection. Essentially the PSP's Capcom Classics Remixed but with one or two extra games, Capcom Classics Collection 2 will ship for PS2 in February here in the UK, but although the Konami games will also arrive sometime early in 2007, it's possible they will stay Japan-exclusive - at least for the time being anyway.
