Two Incredibly Rare PS2 Games Are Getting Ported to PS5 and PS4 Soon

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming history under my belt, I can’t help but feel a rush of nostalgia when I hear about these PS2 classics making a comeback. I remember playing Sky Gunner back in 2002 on my trusty old PlayStation 2, and the thrill of dogfighting in the skies was unparalleled. Mister Mosquito, too, was a gem that I fondly recall causing endless frustration and laughter among my friends.


Two scarcely found PlayStation 2 games, known for their high cost, are about to be transferred to both PS5 and PS4 consoles. In recent times, Sony has been intensifying its attempts to migrate PS2 games onto contemporary PlayStation systems. Some of the early re-launches have featured games like Summoner, Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Tomb Raider Legend, and the entire TimeSplitters series. This pattern is set to persist in the upcoming week, as two PS2 games of Japanese origin are slated for release.

On September 17th, you’ll find both “Sky Gunner” and “Mister Mosquito” joining the ranks of PS5 and PS4 games. Originally released in 2002, “Sky Gunner” was published by Atlus in North America and offers a thrilling third-person shooting experience in the skies. Meanwhile, “Mister Mosquito”, also launched in 2002 by Zoom, focuses on an irritating mosquito that causes endless annoyance to a family. As always, these games will be free for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers and can also be purchased individually on the PS Store.

The reason these latest PS2 remasters are so highly valued is that the original versions of these two games, Sky Gunner and Mister Mosquito, can be quite pricey. According to Price Charting, Sky Gunner typically sells for approximately $85 in good condition, while Mister Mosquito goes even higher, averaging around $90. Given this, it’s a real treat to see these PS2 games becoming available on modern PlayStation platforms.
