Nintendo have announced the SNES classic edition.
Video Gamer writes: "There's a rogue underworld of devs operating clandestinely, still creating Game Boy games. We've spoken to one of them."
The first PlayStation is home to an array of iconic video games that went on to define the sheer significance of this console.
I think from a historical perspective I would change Spyro for Grand Turismo. It's the franchise that made the PS1 look like an absolute unit. Other than that, I can't argue with the rest when it comes to games that defined the PS1.
And to be honest, there should be space for Tekken 3, Wipepout and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in order to round out the PS1 identity as the machine to own at the time.
With Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tenchu, and Soul Reaver as backup contenders.
Hopefully this time around they make more for people to get.
And Star Fox 2? That'll be interesting to see in action
After the whole fiasco with the NES Mini, I'm not going to waste my time until there's a surplus of consoles available. Everyone knows the scalpers will be the first to buy it, and resell it starting at $100+ and higher depending on demand. Honestly the Sega one is far more appealing because I can at least play cartridges on it, while this one doesn't look like it can read them at all.
I do want to at least give this one a chance since it does have about 90% of what I wanted from the SNES era (with the exception of a few games which I'm surprised didn't make the cut), but unless I can get it from a store (not a scalper) I'll wait it out. Both on the Nintendo site, and the article, it doesn't say it's a limited run; so if it's a permanent thing it's about time Nintendo listened to their fans. If it is limited, I'll pass. Not because it's a "limited release," because I'm not buying into the hype of "omg I need one" to re-release down the road.
oh geez, I hope I can actually get one this time... just as I got over the stress and frustration of missing out on the NES classic...
will try to pick it up
Yes
