Hey guys, I wish my childhood favorite game, Einhander, can make it way to GOG, anyone's thinking the same?
Cheer!
Community wishlist. No one voted yet, let's change that.
I didn't even know there was a PC version of Einhander. Was there?

No, but that's hardly a (technical) issue, PSX emulation is nearly-perfect. It's also not unprecedented: for example, on GOG we have the Raiden Legacy collection, there's a whole bunch of NEO GEO games on Humble, Steam has Sega's Mega Drive collection, Warner published the Mortal Kombat Arcade Collection as well as the Midway Arcade Treasures collections, and of course, Nintendo and Sony have been selling their old shit on their new consoles for as long as there's been Internet fast enough to deliver it - Einhänder included (available on the PSN).

Yeah, yeah, I know, Japanese publishers this and console corps that.

Nope, there wasn't.

Even if there will be one in the future, it will become Steam-exclusive, at least till GOG figures out how to lure big Japanese publishers here.

Probably because:
1) It was never released in Europe in the first place.
2) The American version was originally published by Sony, who might or might not be interested in it.

so the changes of it coming to gog are between remote and snowball in hades
I wonder if there's a sequel. And if it's called Zweihänder.
Will never happen. No PC version, Square's not going to put together an emulator for it, and it's a super obscure, niche title. And, I guess, given that it's niche, GOG wouldn't want it even if it did come to PC.

Just buy a PS1.

You're thinking of Zoolander.
