Seems right in line with the rest of the industry imo. How many of Sony's great games are "rehashes" and aren't coming over?

I think Deep Space, developers of Extermination, may have been an internal team as well. And didn't Sony purchase Whoopee Camp before supposedly desolving it?

What about Mark of Kri? Is San Diego Studios owned by Sony?

Deep Space was an internal team. In fact, it's what became of Whopee Camp after the Sony buyout.

AE2 was done at SCEI. And yeah, San Diego is a 1st party studio too.

Unless you're European, in which case you'd also get Kururin and Napoleon. :)

Still, what's it matter if the games don't come here? Nintendo still made them, people still play them, and Gameboy's tradional lack of region coding even makes importing more viable... How many good Sony made titles listed in this thread are "rehashes"? Why's this rule only suddenly apply to Nintendo?

That's somewhat like saying Super Mario World plays almost exactly like Super Mario Bros... I can assure you. ;)

Probably not, but it still kicks the crap out of every other 1st party lineup post Dreamcast.

Yeah, that's what I thought, but I wasn't totally sure.

Tru dat...
