The developer was confirmed as being in administration just before the Christmas holiday.

I think Sony’s PSN could use some more PSone downloadables. I’m glad to see Capcom agrees with me.

John Diamonon from Capcom writes on the Playstation Blog:

“So what’s in store for 09? Well, I’m working with Grace and Ro at SCEA to come up with some innovative ways we can offer games and programs on the PlayStation Store. You can expect to see a whole slew of downloadable PSP and PSone titles from our vault next year.”

Hopefully that means we’ll get some goddamn Mega Man Legends. Breath of Fire III would be nice, too. If want to speculate about which PSone games they’ll be re-releasing, I conveniently put the list of games for you after the jump.
