Out of the blue I wanted to play League Bowling on NeoGeo again.
Went to the Belgium PSN shop but to my consternation the game is no longer available.

So a quick hop over to play Asia and logged in with my Japanese account and we’re ready to go. 😊

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games :cat_cheer: Maybe I should setup a Japanese PSN account? 🤔 I bought quite a few games on the NA PSN (with gift cards from PlayAsia) - many classic games for less than 10$ that are otherwise unavailable in the EU.

@chris@mstdn.games
Yeah, there are quite a few arcade archive and NeoGeo games that are still available in Japan but have been delisted in the west.

And if you’re planing on buying PSone games on PS3, then having a Japanese account is a must have.
Although we’ve lost quite a few of them over the years due to licenses expiring. But there are still hundreds for sale right now.
And some really great PC Engine games as well.
