Initially released on the PlayStation 2 in 2004, Gradius V may soon be making an appearance on the PlayStation 3, assuming a new ESRB rating is to be believed.

The rating - "T for Teen" with "Mild Fantasy Violence" - offers no information on when we should expect this PlayStation 3 version of Gradius V, nor any word on what might differentiate it from the original version of the game. That said, it seems likely that Gradius V will be released as a downloadable title, owing to both its hardcore fanbase and the middling sales it produced at retail in 2004.

Whenever it arrives, Gradius V will mark the first English-language entry in the series since 2008's Gradius Rebirth, a WiiWare pseudo-remake of the four Gradius games released for the Japanese MSX home computer system.

Wouldn't mind the PS2 versions of Gradius III/IV as a PS2 classic. Gradius V has been on my PS2 want list for a long time.  Least now, I'll have another option for Gradius V.

Never tracked down the PS2 version of  Gradius III/IV as both are on Gradius Collection for the PSP.  Wouldn't mind Gradius Rebirth on the PS3/PSP/Vita.

 
I already have Graidus III/IV collection for PS2, as well as Gradius V. Also have Gradius collection for the PSP. I like me some Gradius. It's great that they are re-releasing V for PSN, though. Hopefully it won't just be a straight port, but will get rendered at full resolution.

True, but it's not like the original PS2 is rare. When you have more than 100 million of a system produced, it's not usually that difficult to pick one up second hand. I always hang onto all of my old systems.

 
I'll probably grab it, since the PS2 version is a CD based blue backed game, and it's a great title anyway, hopefully we'll see something sooner rather than later.

 
One of my favorites, I revisit this game every year

what I really want is dodonpachi on us psn
