Konami’s still around in the year of our lord 2025. But they’ve spent a noticeable amount of time this century… not focusing on games in the traditional sense. They’ve become a pachinko company, seemingly. Sure, they dabble in their roots, but the Konami of old? It’s gone. And their properties? They tend to be buried. Remembered fondly, but never refreshed.<\/p>\n
Suikoden was, for a time, a jewel in the Konami catalog. 5 core games were released during the PS1 and PS2 eras, along with few side-stories, most of which stayed in Japan (one even being a digital card game). A rich world was developed. The series was never a sales powerhouse, but those of us who knew? We loved.<\/p>\n
The first two games were PS1 games, and they were undoubtedly the best amongst the fans. We’ve known for years that Konami was going to do HD remasters of these games, and even though the release was delayed from the originally announced time frame, the Suikoden I and II HD collection is available now! Konami also held a Suikoden showcase, talking about the series. And what did they announce? An anime adaptation of Suikoden II!<\/p>\n
