NCS Game
Synopsis
Update: November 9, 2009
«©NCSX»
Over a decade after Genso Suikoden
appeared on the original Playstation, Konami bundles
together the first two Suikoden games and updates
them with graphical improvements and the radical
idea of diagonal movement. Let us explain - in the
original Suikoden games, characters were only able
to walk in the four cardinal directions. Any attempt
to move diagonally in the original games was met
with resistance. In the new PSP updates, characters
are capable of stepping diagonally to cross
distances quicker in addition to standard left,
right, up, and down movements. Based on our short
play test this morning, we're assuming that Konami
used the Saturn version of Suikoden and the
Playstation version of Suikoden II for the PSP
compilation. The intro from Suikoden is the same as
the Saturn intro and Suikoden II was never released
for Sega's 32-bit console. Konami also touched up
the graphics for both games with little details and
both Suikodens translate beautifully to the small
screen with sharp and spiffy visuals that show the
care that the development staff put into porting the
games over to the PSP.
Additional portable Suikoden tidbits in the game include a BGM
playlist which includes over 160 music tracks from
both games, a movie gallery which features the
cinemas from both games including the Sega Saturn
introduction for the first game, and the ability to
watch event cinemas and ending sequences after
completing either game. The "PSP Best" version of
Genso Suikoden is the same as the original release
but at a lower price point along with a "Best"
re-release game cover.
