Capcom is going to make its PlayStation Network presence a lot more robust as it begins releasing ports of PS1 titles and providing downloadable versions of previous PSP titles throughout the year. We spoke with Capcom's Chris Kramer, who let us know that the company would be listening to what the community wants and figuring out internally what titles to release -- but don't expect any of them to involve licensing shenanigans along the lines of Marvel vs. Capcom.

"We'll definitely be looking at a lot of titles that have things like Street Fighter and Resident Evil in the title," Kramer said. "We're thinking about putting together a long list of the titles we're looking at, and then releasing it on Capcom Unity and having people vote on them. Ultimately we're looking at bringing between 20 and 40 titles to the PSN over the next several months."

According to the ESRB, several more PSone titles are coming to the PlayStation Network in North America (and likely Europe), including multiple games from both the Spyro and Street Fight Alpha series.

Here are five more confirmed PSone classics:

Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Wipeout XL

Thus far, Sony has provided a decent archive of PSone classics on the PSN... in Japan. In North America and Europe, the PSone offerings are fairly sparse. We'd love to see titles like Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII make their way to English-speaking regions.

hopefully we see a lot more stories like this leading up to e3
