Video: Why I'm Glad The PSP Is Not Region Locked: Hudson TurboGrafx Collections
One of the most disappointing facts about the TurboGrafx-16 would have to be the best PC Engine titles never made it to the US. Nintendo effectively castrated the system early on, using what would now be considered anti-competitive business practices. I digress, that's in the past and Nintendo has learn their lesson.
Thankfully, Hudson has been dumping a lot of the titles on to the Virtual Console, and making a killing doing so. I guess with the raging success, they are releasing collections for the Song PortstationPlaystation Portable. The first to installments will be released July 31 (Japan) for 2,940 yen ($28) a piece.
Tengai Makyou Collection contains:
- Far East of Eden Ziria
- Far East of Eden II: Manji Maru
- Tengai Makyou: Fuun Kabukiden
- Kabuki Itouryodan
Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Collection contains:
- Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Yuna
- Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Yuna 2
- Ginga Fukei Densetsu: Sapphire
Yes, I know these will never see a retail release in the US, but hey, that's what importers are for! The Ginga Ojousama Densetsu is worth it's weight in gold for me.

Hmmm... Interesting system, lyrical?
Between this and the Konami shooter collections, I would say that old school shooter fans should pick up a PSP as a rule. Thanks for the heads up Asterick, I'm prolly going to pick up both of these.
I'm confused. The TG-16 was made by NEC, not Nintendo. The CD games were not region locked and the HuCard games only required a pinout change to work on US systems.
Japanese imports were easy to get, although pricey. Granted NEC did pretty much abandon the system in the States and there were tons of titles that should have been ported.
But I have no hard feelings against NEC/Hudson Soft. That system introduced me to the world of anime!
