Make way! Make way!
Make way! Make way!
Our little purple friend Spyro is upon us! Your eyes do not deceive you and the words you are reading are definitely real! After a long wait and lots of requests from you, the community, Spyro the Dragon is coming to EU PSN on 12th December 2012!
Hugely successful when released way back on PSOne, I am delighted to finally be able to get Spyro the Dragon back out there for all of you to enjoy. You won’t see one Spyro game either! Oh no! The first, second and third game are all coming on the very same day. How’s that?
For everyone that asked and waited patiently, now is the time to bite! Now is the time to relish in the glorious days of distant past! Now is the time!
With your help, let this re-emergence of Spyro open the gates for more titles from the PSOne era that we shall never forget.
Speaking of help, the encouragement drawings from AlexPSN89 were much appreciated. In fact, I even did one myself to celebrate! Here they are for your viewing pleasure!
Note: This product is an emulated version of a PlayStation (PS one) classic. Some functionality may vary from the original PS one version of this product or may not be available. All three Spyro titles are emulated versions of NTSC code. English language only.

Has the issue been fixed in Spyro 2 where cut-scenes would glitch out? If so, then does this mean our CD copies now work perfectly as well or just the D/L version?

Should be same as what the US received. I’m under the impression it’s the GH version but don’t know 100%.

was actually a whole lot more on the list U.S have and we don’t but if
it’s gonna take 5 years 2 release each classic i’d be dead before you finish.
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:24 pm by Jawad Ashraf
These took so long because of a whole bunch of issues. Those same issues (plus more) apply to a lot of that list, too. However, at least one of the titles that you listed is also coming next week. Really! That’s my tease for the weekend.

Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:21 pm by Sammy12348
please make the digimon games

GUngho online entertainment america and ask them 2 bring their ps1 japanese import games they just released on U.S psn 2 europe they said they would try if ppl asked them 2.
61
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:24 pm by Azman007
Will the analogue sticks be compatible with this game?
really hope so because i hate the dpad controls
62
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:28 pm by LAA612
Brilliant news!!! Vita support too! One of the best games on PS1, and probably one of my favourite game series of all time!
The next question is… How much will these hurt my wallet…?
63
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:28 pm by GABBA11
Nice Spyro and Crash games were the best platformer games on the PS1, like others have said they just don’t make them like they used to.
It’s all good for peeps who haven’t played but I still own the originals so unless they remaster them in HD and have trophy support I wouldn’t really want to buy them again
64
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:34 pm by Terarded
lol i got impatient and bought these on the us store like three or four years ago. i loved these games as a kid, anything beyond ps1 got ridiculously boring though.
65
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:35 pm by dgnfly
@Jawad Ashraf
it’s castlevania we know alrdy cause konami announced it.
but that’s just the list off ps1 games missing games let alone the ps2 list want me 2 post that. just for show on how much you guys are missing and include the new games.
also i said the list is incomplete there are actually more ps1 games they have and we don’t.
66
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:42 pm by Hustle_X
This is incredible Jawad! I can tell by your post that you were dying to give us this good news. Will definitely be insta-buying all three of these I don’t care how much they cost. You are officially my favourite heads-up blog poster of all time!
67
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:44 pm by dgnfly
@Jawad Ashraf
also 2 years ago you guys had the ps1 classic colony wars on the list off PS+ offers what happend 2 that game you guys lost it?
68
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:44 pm by RedPriestRezo
On the one hand I’m happy. On the other – I really need an ability to play games bought on other accounts for my Vita, so I won’t have to be happy about something like this.
Unless you start to release new PS1 and PSP games in PSN each week, European PSN will never become and adequate choice. And every time I want to play some good old game portably I’ll have to dust of my cracked psp. Even though I want to buy this games properly.
…This is just ridiculous when people don’t want to get money for their work, isn’t it?
69
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:47 pm by dgnfly
@RedPriestRezo
i take it you mean it’s hard 2 hype a game that has been on U.S store for 5 years now.
70
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 5:51 pm by CorrisD
Pretty great news, any chance for a plus discount or even a bundle for all three together to save those of us that want all three a little money.
Just waiting on SOTN and then I will be a pretty happy camper with the hopes of the strike series to appear one day.
71
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 6:18 pm by Alestes
Nice news, now it’s pretty much only Suikoden and Suikoden 2 left that I want, as far as PS1 games go.
Well, excluding some US imports from Square Enix that would be very nice, like Chrono Cross, Threads of Fate and so on.
72
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 6:36 pm by Skookie30
This is great news what a nice end of the week with this little purple fluff.
It took you 5 years and here it is folks buy it & love it since we beg for it.
Now dino crisis & ffcrisis-core plz thanks
73
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 6:57 pm by aaronrogers2009
jawad can u please tell us what has happened to the psp phineas and ferb game, i downloaded it weeks ago but was unable to get it to work now its disappeared of the store and my download list, im confused! Is there a glitch, many thanks, sally
74
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 7:34 pm by Grimmy11
Your enthusiasm for this entertained me
To be honest I don’t remember the Spyro games too well but I have the feeling playing the first one again will bring a load of memories flooding back so I may have to give it a go.
Thanks!
75
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 7:48 pm by darkdudes_2
Thank You :’D
It’s my fave game and i can play it again, thats amazing.
The best thing is that i can play it on vita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You Sony, my fave brand

Great to see a classic make it’s way to the EU PSN but could we now get Chrono trigger? or perhaps Legend of Dragoon.
I’m sure many other’s out there would like to see more of the RPG’s we missed out on here in the EU. Tales of Destiny I and II also come to mind and Valkyrie Profile.
Even at £7.99 a game would see some major sales for these titles.
77
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:41 pm by MightyCrow
So these will be free with PS Plus right?
78
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 10:46 pm by starfruitss
Ohhhh this is the best news ever. I’m so happy, finally! It was worth the wait.
Will Spyro 3 be missing that one cutscene? Too bad they’re the NTSC versions, since Spyro 1 has a couple dragons coloured differently, couple of baby dragons are swapped around in Spyro 3, and some of the bg music is just strange in Spyro 3… But those are minor things, since the games are finally going to be available! Yaay!
79
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 10:50 pm by theAdonai
will it come tp PSM though?

Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 10:50 pm by theAdonai
PSM?
81
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 11:06 pm by Finka_Karfein
Great! Now, import Chrono Cross, please
82
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 11:35 pm by grimdeath999
You guys really gotta bring Digimon world for the psone to the stores. Now that would be a dream come true !
83
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 12:00 am by Binglesthecat
Can we please get some idea if Tomba 1 and Tomba 2 will be getting PS Vita compatibility.. Ever?
Tomba 2 is my favourite game of all time, and I can’t play it since I don’t have a PS3.
84
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 1:08 am by The_Pariah
Day = Made! THANK YOU, GUYS!
85
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 4:45 am by DonHoob
Great news!!! U just made my day sir! Any news about tomba vita support? And what about castlevania: symphony of the night I heard konami are going to release it in Europe last month? But great news on spyro I love that game
86
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 4:47 am by ryannumber3gamer
Great! I only got Spyro 2 on PS1 and i really want to try Spyro 1 & 3, I think i will get Spyro 2 off the store again so i can put it on my vita
87
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 9:50 am by DoYouLikeMyID
SPYRO!
I only ever got to play the third one I think, so it’ll be great to play them all. Would some kind of discount be possible? Maybe if you buy all 3 games?
88
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 10:28 am by l3ig_l3oss
finally the spyro ps1 games are coming out and now you can start focusing on getting the next most important ps1 classics up on the eu store which are of course dino crisis 1 & 2 and the first parasite eve game, hthere are more ps1 classics we want but these are the most important by far so please try and make this happen we eu customers have been more then patient.
89
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 10:50 am by eoghaner_2k10
Is this a hint for Crash & Spyro in Playstation All Stars.
Also if possible please get ape escape 1-3 on the store and make vita compatible with ps2 games
Also please make the Jak & Daxter trilogy and Ratchet & Clank trilogy available on vita
Vita needs more games
90
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 10:54 am by RobertMorridin
Passed by these games (and the Crash games) back in the day. Was always more of a RPG and fighting game fan
Will definitely get them to play on my Vita. That console’s perfect for these older games
91
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 11:32 am by Gentix
You have no idea how happy I was when I read the headline. At last, I can finally buy the first and second game! I’ve been waiting FOREVER to try those out, as I have the 3rd game on disc. I would always play the 1st game at my cousin’s, but at that time, I didn’t have any idea what was going on (I was around 5 years old.) I am, again, VERY happy to hear the news of the releases! Hopefully, we can also see Crash Bash on the PS Store at one point.
92
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 11:49 am by TheSwordUserYT
I sincerely hope that these games will release with a slight discount at first. I remember playing the demo of Year of the dragon (3rd game) for a good while years ago, and then had chance to play full game for a bit. I want to play this again.
I only wished I had waited with extension of PS+. I bought a 100 PLN card last week in order to purchase another 3 months of PS+ sub and a PSOne classic (Grandia), and at the moment my virtual wallet just misses less than 2 PLN to buy most of single-disc PSOne classics out there (which are 18 PLN in here).
If I had waited that one more week, I could just buy the same sub for discoutned price and money wouldn’t be an issue, now I’ll probably just wait till I’ll have money again to charge my account.
Also, I hope that one of worked out issues is that weird security system within the game itself as I wouldn’t want to get thrown into beginning of the game during final boss fight.
93
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 1:13 pm by Poppcorn8
Will they be playable on the PSP?
94
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 4:01 pm by Warpath_X1
Will these spyro games have trophy support? I love spryo, well the first 3 can’t wait.
95
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 7:18 pm by Clxmj
Glad its coming to the EU Store but i bought this over a year ago on the US Store for like $3, i dont get all the issues. Yeah you’ve explained it before but you should make it easier on yourselves.
96
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 9:15 pm by MohdAKsnake
I am so happy after reading this!!!! This is a great day to all 90′s Spyro fans and I cant wait to play them again
. Jawad, I would like to say even though you have gone through many months of update requests you are like a light of hope to SCEE. Im not kidding, SCEE are very lucky to have you
and now you can relax from all the Spyro comments of the PS store updates but still there are some requests some people may have but me, no more because I wanted to re-live my childhood and now it is coming to me. Once again, thank you very much for your support Jawad and best of luck for the future
97
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 10:12 pm by Wintertulip
Brilliant! Thank you, I’ll definitely be buying them all as soon as I can.
98
Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 10:14 pm by whiteylfc
Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and Ape Escape were 3 of my favourite games on PS1, we have two of those already, any chance of the third?

Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 10:18 pm by bennyrafal

Posted on 8 December, 2012 at 11:04 pm by ken26041970
I got bored of waiting & bought it from the US PSN using a PSN voucher but it’s great to see Sony Europe finally catch up, however it makes me wonder how long I’ll be kept waiting for Okami Avatars which are not transferrable? Maybe I should just give up on this one?
