A Look Back

North America
Total # released: 75
Europe
Total # released: 73
Japan
Total # released: 31
Hong Kong
Total # released: 47

This US store was once again king. For all the shit people give SCEA, they really did a great job this year on all fronts. SCEE also did fairly well, they were just a few short. Although a few of the titles they got last year were ones that the US store already had. Japan and Hong Kong don’t really get that many PS3 games. That is just kinda sad :(

I hope everyone enjoyed the lists we did for this feature. Be sure to check back soon for our Game of the Year Awards.

This list would have been quite different if the PSPgo did not come out. The US store barely had any PSP games on PSN until just after E3 when the go got announced. Then on October first in 1 day, it caught up with a passed the European store. Before that point in the year, the European store had been leading all stores in number of PSP titles released. Japan also had a flood of games just in time for the PSPgo. This coming year looks like it will be great if you have a PSP and do not care about physical media.

A Look Back

North America
Total # released: 131 (105 PS3 + 26 PSP)
Europe
Total # released: 102 (85 PS3 + 17 PSP)
Japan
Total # released: 83 (35 PS3 + 48 PSP)
Hong Kong
Total # released: 51 (37 PS3 + 14 PSP)

US is the place to be for demos on PS3. Although if you can read Japanese and own a PSP you can get almost 50 demos. The only problem with the Japanese store is that demos are removed for some titles after a while. The European store was pretty much on par with the US store for this one. They even got a few demos before us, Trine and Mushroom Wars for example.

This US started off the year really slow, but eventually picked up. After the PSPgo was announced it looked like Sony finally decided to release some games. Japan was the juggernaut it always is for Game Archives, almost 100 titles released. I feel really bad for our friends in the EU, mostly Disney games. Although my favorite PSone game of all time, Future Cop: L.A.P.D., was released there and not in the US :( .

If you are wondering about PC Engines games coming to the US, fear not! I recently asked that exact question to Hudson Entertainment and was met with the following response:

There are plans to bring them here. I cannot say how many or which ones however.

Sounds like good news to me!

Looks like Sony was 11 short of the 50 they promised for Europe by years end. European games also look to be released around the same price point. The US and HK stores have minis that run the gamut of the pricing scale.

If you have any minis that aren’t working on PS3 be sure to post here. That way we have an up to date list!

We hope to be reviewing more and more minis titles this coming year. Stay tuned for later in the week when we announce our minis of the year award.
