PS3 Backwards Compatability

[TigerC10]

So Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 4 - Shippuden is finally coming to the United States! *You've got a shiny new Playstation 3 and you probably want to know if you can play the game before you buy it. *Well there are only 3 models of the PS3 that can play PS2 games, and here they are:

• 20GB Playstation 3, model number CECHB01
• 60GB Playstation 3, model number CECHA01
• 80GB Playstation 3, model number CECHE01
  (there are multiple model numbers of PS3s with 80GB - verify the number)

If you have one of these model numbers, you can check to see if it can play Ultimate Ninja 4 at this website:

If you don't have one of those 3 models, you're out of luck. *Sony has stopped making Playstation 3s that can play PS2 games. *Sorry my friends!* But the good news is that the Playstation 2 has come down in price to about $60 (fat PS2) or $70 (slim PS2), so if you desperately want to play this game (as well as the excellent predecessors Ultimate Ninjas 1-3) you can get a PS2.

Wrote something in my blog about this.
I'm pretty ticked, they release storm, getting us geared up for the new era, then.. Bam, right to PS2, after most people get rid of theirs. Not cool HR, not cool*

I guess I'll have to dig around for my old PS2.. *Bleh.

see there reson for that is ultimate ninja 4 was for the ps2 in japan and it would be way to epense to mack it a ps3 game


ecuse my spelling i know it bad

Yeah maybe,but japan had already created the game on the ps2 before the ps3 came around .

[padlius]

They both came out similar.

I wouldn't expect them to recreate the game just to format it for the PS3. That would delay its release for possibly another year, and I'd rather just use my PS2 or get a new PS3.

[jinchuuriki1-9]

i doubt theyre gonna remake the game just cause the game has been out in japan for yrs now. they might make a update or something to where you can play it.





lucky me i hav 1 tht cn play it though. =)

I don't think anyone was talking about reformatting the game in this thread... *I was simply talking about the PS3's ability to play PS2 games.
