Should Konami re-release Suikoden 1/2 as a compilation set?

I know there are many people out there that can sign a petition, but this last idea was surely better. Konami will surely rerelease the games if they see a lot of preordering going around.

I've already done it. Anyone is more than welcome to join me whenever they wish to.

Heyz,
I think a petition is a great idea!
Although I already have Suikoden 1 and 2, it would be great for less fortunate gamers

There's a petition going on right now. I don't care if it's outdated or not. Sign it! Everyone should if we want to see S I and II again!

*Suikoden I and II rerelease petition*

Do it!
Bring our voices to life!

Even as much as I would like to see this happen its not a very possible thing. Seeing as how in japan suikoden 1 and 2 or very easy to come buy. You can even buy them on ebay for the normal price of around 30 bucks if you can find it, buts that the import version. If they released this in america even though you all say you'd buy it, it still wouldnt be enough. Final Fantasy how ever released games from nintendo, and super nintendo and old consoles such as that. None were released as a disc game, then rereleased as a disc game. You just dont see that happening very often.(Doesnt mean I wont sign the petition guys, believe me I love suikoden just as much as you all do.)

The demand for Suikoden I and II are only really confined to those outskirt territories known as "America" and "Europe". Japan are swimming in the things so there's unlike to be any real pressure on Konami to release additional copies.

Even with a petition, you have to remember that:

1) It's on-line, and despite media-savvy net relations, on-line complains etc mean nothing simply because they're so easy to make.

2) Petitions are easy to make longer artificially. Which means you'd have to show an awful lot of names to Konami to convince them that the sheer amount of signatures more than covers for the amount of dupliciates.

3) Petitions, be they on-line or off-line, are easy to sign but not everyone will follow up by buying the games even if Konami bowed down to pressure. Thus, requiring a petition to get even MORE signatures, to offshoot THAT imbalance.

For a petition to work it would need to be done off-line and be bloody huge.

One day, some guy wanted Konami to have a re-release of Suikoden 1 and 2. Seeing that it is virtually impossible in reality to achieve that, he would know it is only a dream. Yet, he feels that he should at least give a shot, whether how realisticly impossible it is, he would gain sasticifaction knowing that he tried. So, what is the problem here?

Vincent of Scarlet Moon · Tue Mar 08, 2005 2:29 pm

No problem, I wish they'd do it too. I'm just noting the inherent problems in a petition, on-line or other wise. Having hope or a dream is super being fooled by it isn't, no?

It is not about having a dream or hope. It is about doing the least you can do and know that you taken your shot.

I signed.... 174 people dosent seem like alot though......

Hiyato · Post by **Hiyato** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 11:17 pm

177 for me.

Anywho, I'd like to actually play suikoden i and ii instead of just hearing about them... without paying the ransom Amazon and e-Bay charge!!

I'd buy them both if they weren't so unreasonably priced.

I zinc that the people who missed both suikodens and are playing the other two should have a chance to know what happened then people so that we all are equal so this would be a good idea but I think that Konami will probably rerealese the whole series after they are done with the game you see just a few years ago square enix rerealesed FF1&FF2 so this would be a good idea as the seires progresses many other people in Sukioden fourms all over the world are starting petitions for S1&S2 to be rereleased so we should combine with them to make a huge petition instead of many small ones that Konami will overlook and if we got all these fourms singnature and sent it to Konami they would at least have to do somezing so we should combine together.FYI I didn't miss it.

All I can say is that, it sucks for you. The people that missed out on it.. wait.. if you want it to be re-released, how did any of you even play Suikoden' I and II? Unless you just want new copies, I am happy with my copies. Mint condition. I'd much rather see Suikoden release on the PSP though. I'd love to see that. It suits it perfect.

A re-release would mean that more copies would be available at a lower price, which would be a dream come true for Suikoden fans.

the only reason to do this is so you can upload previous data. really. The Threat of Emulation I think would be enough, then again why bother if people are downloading the games, that'll be more of a waste of money.
If, people turn to an ISO insted of the disk. then again, some have no choice. I don't know if Konami got any of my $64 bucks when I got Suikoden2 preowned or not. I bought it at a store, If I got it from an e-bay users...I doubt they'll get anything. especally if S/He buys a Koei or Square-Enix game.
so there you have it. Its a two way thought, either "re-realse or I'll downoload" or "you download *shrugs* why -should I- re-release when you might not buy it anyway"

of course petitions can be rigged. then again that goes for anything. If you sign a petion for stroger anti-child pornography laws, whos to say You still won't be writing stories with a year 1, Ginny Weasly X Snape fictions?

Then why is Nintendo selling Zelda, Metroid and other NES games (super classics I take, no Monster Party on the GBA for us)? nostilage? or to compinsate for "look we still use Link/Mario, you don't need to download zelda one, we have windwalker...its zelda/we have Mario Sunshine, its Mario!!!" really, sure I guess they are good games, but not everyone's Nintendos work anymore. its how I see it. I'm glad they beefed up Sword of Mana(and gave it the correct name) Its my desision if I want to buy it or not. (I think we need a better magnfying screen for GBA or an adapter.)
