Was hoping that the PocketStation would be distributed in the USA back in 2000/2001 but that never came to be. SCEA never did bring the PocketStation stateside despite a handful of USA region PSX games having official PocketStation support from the get-go. How cool is that? Both the JPN & USA region PSX ports of RRT4 have PocketStation support, indeed. The PSX game of Ridge Racer Type 4 has built-in support for PocketStation. Only if SCEI had blessed the PocketStation with just a tad bit more memory rather than the standard 1mb allocated size typical with official PSX memory cards (thus making more room for more than just one downloaded PocketStation mini game or app). The exclusive bonus of being able to play Pocket Ray on the venerable PocketStation was a plus but it took a whopping 11 blocks (out of 12 total) of memory on the PocketStation itself. Considering that both PSX ports of RC de Go! & Ray Crisis were originally released on Taito's G-Net arcade hardware platform, some concessions/trade-offs had to be made to have 'em run on the PSX console - still impressive nonetheless.Īsked about when the PSX port of Ray Crisis was going to be available to buy.was told that it'd go on sale on April 20th, 2000, as the initial debut day within Japan.

There were four lines of 10 people deep just to try out the Ray Crisis demo setups easily.

Was cool to see Taito team up with Kyosho to promote the JPN region RC de Go! game at the Spring 2000 Tokyo Game Show where it was available to try out as a playable demo alongside with Ray Crisis back in late March of 2000. Yep, RC de Go! was distributed in limited numbers for the USA PSX market.
