    I finally set up a Japanese PSN today and I have no idea what I'm doing.

    I was surprised to see R-Type Dimentions is still on Japanese PSN. I know there are a shit ton of PC Engine games (but don't know where they are) Virtual On is there. I think Raystorm HD is Jp PSN exclusive. The Puyo Puyo Tetris Demo is up.

    Of course finding everything I'm looking is another story all together. What else is on there worth looking at?

    I don't know about PSN, but Raystorm HD is (or was) on the US XBLA.

    Apparently several PS1 classics aren't in USA. Mega Man 5/6, Pac-Man World, Rival Schools, Dodonpachi...
    No Mega Man Powered Up here either.

    Heck Silent Hill 4 I had no idea about.

    I need some JPSN cards asap! There is just so much awesome.

    R Type Dimensions hasn't been delisted on JPSN. Raystorm HD. Don Pachi and Dodonpachi. Rockman 5 and 6, Ehergritz, legend of mana, Rival schools, Virtual on and Virtua striker.

    and that's just what I could make out.

    Hey, at least US PSN has Zanac x Zanac...but anyway, you should get Harmful Park and Sega Ages Dynamite Deka. Use Wikipedia lists to see what's on Japanese PSN.

    Of course I'm going to say these...

    クロックタワーザ・ファーストフィアー (Clock Tower ~ The First Fear ~)
    クロックタワー2 (Clock Tower 2)
    クロックタワーゴーストヘッド ベスト (Clock Tower GHOST HEAD)

    Honestly put, their PS1, PS2 classics sections are to be envied on the JPN PSN so I'd really have a good look.

    Though if you wanted to find titles quickly, you could always check the catalog codes on the games and reference them on the official site like how I found CT Ghost Head on there with the price and download size for the games too as I don't think all of the Wikipedia lists are complete.

    And i'd almost forgot to mention that sometimes the Japanese PSN Store gives you a 15-day free PS Plus onto your account during occasions every time! :D

    It's a brave new world.

    OH SHIT it just hit me.

    PS3 + Saturn Converter + Twin sticks + Virtual On= *gigantic mess*

    It might be worth mentioning (or maybe not) that GTI Club+ was available on PSN for a while. Apparently they took it down due to an expired license. There might still be a way to get it, though.

    Legend of Mana is on US PSN.

    Turns out Japan also got Virtual On Marz.

    Wish it was still available. Same for OutRun Online Arcade.

    If you own a copy of OutRun 2006, then Online Arcade was a complete ripoff in comparison: tons of features were missing, and the only benefit was glitchy online play.

    I still have GTI Club+ on my PS3. I wonder if there's any way to make a backup of it? Probably not.

    You can actually backup your game but unless you hack your PS3
