Good But EXPENSIVE Japanese PS1 Games To Get CHEAP On The PS Store – Import Gaming FTW Recommends #1
UPDATE: outdated description below, the PS3 and Vita stores are to remain open for the time being! Thank the Lord!
The PlayStation Store is closing on July 2nd for the PS3 and PSP and August 27th for the Vita, and with that means the 739 titles available on the Japanese PS1 Archives will also be gone. Here are 16+ good games to download for cheap that are ridiculously expensive to find physical copies of.

Where do I get PSN PS3 voucher codes for
US PS3 & Japan PS3 PSN stores???
Stray Sheep is a cute game, NGL. I wish it got imported to the US.
Tall twins tower was actually brought over to north america as Tall Infinity by Agetec. It’s pretty cheap at 5-10 too for a physical copy
Rapid angel and makeruna makendou 2 are both on the english store as well.
Update: SONY ISN’T SHUTTING THE STORE DOWN!
Still, this video is a good guide. Great games showcased!
Thanks a lot for the video man. I’ve been looking for hidden gems everywhere. Do you live in Japan or inow japanese?
Cho Aniki and Gaia Seed are on the US store at least. Surprised Einhander wasn’t listed.
I’ve seen in a list Nightmare Creatures is available in the japanese PSN store, but couldn’t find in the PS1 Archives tab. Is it really not there or did I not see it?
I’d love to buy that game digitally since physical copies are a little pricey
I would love to see a part 2.
Super useful video Jimmy! Thanks for the recommendations.
Also nice shout outs to the Ultra Healthy Video Game Nerd, I’ve wondered if you were a fan of his work too.
Time to finally make that JP account I’ve been putting off. Personally not a lot of games I wish to purchase from the JP store, but Little Ralph and Demento are a definite edition! Thanks for adding more games to my ever-growing list.
lmao where does this picture of bob from retrorgb comes from?
11:40 – Jimmy, but your video about Ralph was awesome! the way you introduced the death aspect was really funny.
I feel like every time a big YouTuber talk about unsecured game the prices on the games start to go up this has been my experience on YouTube for many years now
Do you know how to look for the psone folder on the Japanese store?
Is the Japanese version of Crash Bandicoot on there? I need to know
New Suikoden coming soon! From the original creator of Suikoden 1 and 2.

Guess what? Jim Ryan is keeping the stores open at knife point. Yay.
Hey again since the store is still alive could you make a follow up?
My gamer friend, I’ve lost my old skype and can’t contact you to ask for lewds. Please help.
Not on this list (or is it?), but I ended up downloading Legend of Valkyrie from one of those NAMCO anthology games on the PS3 store. So in a way, i blame you for influencing my game purchases! But I had fun with it so its all good.
I tried to make a japanese psn account but I can’t seem to get it to work
I cant find lsd on the Japanese ps3 store any help?
Very relaxing video. Interesting picks and I never even heard about some of them. But Jimmy, do you know about the PS3 (& PS4) CMOS battery issue that will unfortunately render all these PSN digital purchases unplayable?
You forgot Lup Salad!
Amazing video, as always! (Random but, you saw that Valkyrie was available as a skin in Pac-Man 99? That’s sick!)
Can you also do a PS2 Classics list for Japan PS3
PSN store? I am wondering if you have Haunting
Ground digitally downloaded as there hasn’t
been anyone talking about that game has been
re-released silently on Japan PS3 PSN store.
thanks for the video
I heard PSN closing was just a rumor.
That Sony backtracked and said they are keeping it alive.
Will ya do one for PS2 Classics?
If only I had access to my Japanese psn account ugghhh!!! Great video jimmy as always !!!
Ps1 is my favorite console of all time, I spend a ton of my spare time repairing and modding these machines and I love it. I collect physical games as well but that doesn’t mean I’m against roms and disc images. Everyone should do themselves a favor and get a PS1 with a PSIO, Xstation or a mode installed and have fun. I also recommend an OSSC with a good quality scart cable or when they become available again install a PS1 digital. Buy whatever physical games you can, that are affordable and you have nostalgia for. No reason to spend hundreds or thousands on a single game you will get a few hours of enjoyment out of. The retro market is a joke and we shouldn’t feed it. Iove your vids btw.
Did Gear Fighter Dendoh not available in PS Store?
And now its not shutting down but this video is still super informative! Great work.
Any tips on how to access the PlayStation account and how to pay for the games. Thx
hey looks like they reversed the decision to close the PS3 and Vita shops. Will still refer to this video for recommendations 🙂
Really good video. I’ve been trying to go through the archives on PS1 and it’s honestly overwhelming.
I wouldn’t mind a follow up to this with just games you’d recommend.
amazing video
Would you be able to make more videos about "must have" titles for PS2, PSP, PS3 and PS Vita games to get from the Japanese Playstation Store?
Money Puzzle Exchange is kind of expensive as well, and thankfully was put on the US PSN store. Great, but kind of hard to grasp puzzle game.
Your content is pure gold 🥺🌼🌼
THE NEXT EPISODE OF DEMO’ING DEMOS IS ON WHAT MAY BE THE PLAYSTATION’S FIRST EVER
Also Himouto! Umaru-chan! game!
Good news GameXplain today made a video saying that sony says that the ps3 plus PlayStation vita stores vill continue they vill not shut down on july 2 it will remain but not the psp store it will close down as planned
Damn this was a great video. I feel like I need all these titles. I’m scared to see the PS2 one now lol
Literally the best small YouTube channel in all of gaming
I would like to watch a part 2 for this video Jimmy. Very interested
wow..just wow
Harmful Park is so fun, total recommend. Thanks for this list
The time has come to buy all those games I put in the “I’ll get them someday” category. Now is the time!
what if Microsoft + Nintendo + Sony + sega joint forces and made a super console together 🤝🤝🤝 ?
