They could have at least released it as a game for touchscreen phones. Guess I should check back up on that radio drama.

You'd be able to tell by what section it's in. I think PCEngine has it's own section and I'm fairly certain the JPN has it's own version of PS Classics.

I never knew about Snatcher being on Japanese PSN though. That's pretty cool. |

J-PSN has a "Game Archives" Section with both PCE and PS1 titles.
Neither the PCE nor PS1 versions of Snatcher have been released, last time I checked.
I think Konami refuses to re-release it because Katrina's age could get them into legal trouble.
The age of consent is still 14 in Japan, but only by national law; There's not a single prefecture left that has an AOC under 16.
I guess they figure that since Snatcher was on PS1, then it's playable on both 6th and 7th Generation consoles, due to backwards compatability.

Wouldn't be a problem with the Sega CD's retcon.

So was MGS1, and that's much easier to find a physical copy of. |

It only sold poorly in the West. From what I heard, Snatcher on the PC-Engine was a hit and remained in the System's top-sellers for a couple years after release. To this day, there's enough copies in supply that the price for one is around 30 bucks.
