Classic Konami RPGs Suikoden and Suikoden II are now on PS Vita in Europe
Sweet-koden!
Classic PS1 role-players Suikoden and Suikoden II are now available to download on PS Vita in Europe.
Despite their fantasy setting, the games actually have more in common with Pokemon than Final Fantasy. You take a six man party into battle, but can cobble your team together from over 100 different heroes.
Suikoden came out in 1995 in Japan. Sequel Suikoden II - which added a grid- and unit-based tactical battle system, a party inventory system, a dash button, and a variety of mini-games - hit the PlayStation in 1998.
They're both playable on PlayStation 3, PSP, PS Vita, and PlayStation TV. And they both cost £3.99 a pop. Here's Suikoden, and here's Suikoden II.
