I'm just venturing a guess based on what I know (I've been keeping up with the remakes since I first heard of them last spring)... but I don't think we're going to see them stateside until the final quarter of this year. <p>The February release date for the Trilogy was based on the original Japanese release dates which had PS II and IV coming out Dec. 12 and 24 respectively (or two dates similar to that). However, the Japanese release dates were pushed back two monthes for PSII and an unannounced date for PSIV (so I would tack on another 2-4 months for safety's sake.) So let's say PSIV is released in Japan in May. The earliest we would see a PS Trilogy in English would then be another two monthes (based on the original release date stated above). So we're talking July at the earliest, but games are often pushed back, and in terms of not getting my hopes up, I'm just saying we'll have the remakes by the end of the year.<p>Which is depressing, because I bought a playstation 2 for the sole purpose of getting the games this spring... sigh... I know Japanese, I should just cave and buy the Japanese Gen. 1.<p>And for the person on the board who didn't know about the remakes: Sega is remaking better 2D versions of PSI, II and IV. <br>Articles and pics:<br>http://ps2.ign.com/objects/568/568983.html#news<br>http://ages.sega.jp/ps2/home.html<br>http://www.gamestats.com/objects/568/568282/
