Hope it has Tomba 1 or 2 or even Blasto

No DualShock? Wtf man that really limits the amount of games on this thing.

Plus I don’t want to play any 3D game with a D-Pad

There's cash to be made on nostalgia.

It mimicking the NES/SNES Mini is really a non-matter.

Not like Nintendo was the first to do this.

For the price I’d expect better selection of games

Put one game of a series on there then put them all on

w00t! Jumping Flash?? Played the hell out of it back in the day. This is looking enticing. I really hope Battle Arena Toshinden will be on there too.

I’d rather have Sony add PS1 Classics to PS4 instead

I just Sony does it right and make it so we only need to own 1 PS1 mini and we either DL games from the store or we use Discs (that have 50+ games on them).

I'm going to sit back and wait to see if the homebrew community can crack this one wide open like they did the nes and snes classic.

Basically if you can usb load all your games and rig it to support dual shock I'm in.

Way to many classics to just pick, 20 games.

Spyro, crash and tony hawk take 10 alone

I don't know how much liberty they got for licensing. But hoping on seeing some classics. Castlevania SOTN, MGS, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Syphon Filter, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Medievil, Tomb Raider, Nightmare Creatures, Legacy of Kain, Twisted Metal, Parappa, etc. To this day the PS1 is still my favorite console of all time. I hope they cherry pick the best of the best for this!

verrry nice, i actually thought it was a joke t first, but now i know what to get my wee bro for Christmas ahaha

Now this is interesting. I would legitimately get this at a lower price.

I'm praying they will have resident evil 2. But looking at the controllers there not the dual shock ones so probably not

If it has Crash, Spyro and MGS, i'd be tempted.

32-bit 3D games? Pass. PS1 hasn’t aged well at all. I don’t be want any classic consoles past the 16-bit ones.

Christmas, sorted. My son will loooove this!! by the gods, have MGS or Resident Evil in there too!

I never buy these classic systems but this is the best one yet. I would name the Neo Geo one the best but it has some problems.

My biggest problem with those classic console remakes is that there is no built-in way to get more games on the system. They should've either made them compatible with the original game discs and cartridges or make a online store and add additional games as time goes by.

Besides they need to nail the A/V emulation and upscaling (which is not easy to do) while having low imput lag. Not having analog sticks on the Controllers is already a huge let down.

For collectors this will be cool I guess. And while the PS1 is my 2nd favorite console of all time, honestly I'm a bit disappointed at this. It should've came with a Dualshock instead of the OG controller. It wasn't the first but still a huge part of the console's lifecycle. And I think 20 games is too little, maybe shoulda had 30-50.

Sony does this but yet can't release original Playstation Titles on PS4? Really Sony?

this is awesome, but i want to see all 20 games before spending 100 bucks plus the adaptor (not included).
if they put legend of dragoon, tomba, medievil, gex, ape escape and soul reaver at least i'll buy it at day one.
i can understand if they don't put crash and spyro in it, with the remakes existing.
i'd preferred final fantasy 8 instead of 7, the latter is already on ps4 and FF8 is more iconic for me.

Sony please add Crash Team Racing, MediEvil, Micro Maniacs, Battle Arena Toshinden

It's releasing at Christmas time, and Sony won't pull that artificial shortage shit Nintendo does with their mini-consoles, so I expect Sony to make a FUCKTON of money with this.

And to those people bitching that this is to capitalize on the fad for mini consoles, so what?! It's adorable and a great collector's item for nostalgia's sake, the 20 games will probably be some of the greatest games ever and it's barely been announced, we'll probably get news of expansion capability later. Personally, I'm psyched.

No upscaling or anti aliasing? Meh, too expensive.

Should have let you pop the lid to at least reveal some plug in options. Or just to, you know, pop the lid. That was always a satisfying thing to do on the original to put a new game in.

It's still a nice little thing to have to sit next to the NES, SNES and eventual N64 mini's. Not that I own any of them, mind.

Lol of course typical sony nothing original about them !

still got my old 1 :D, maybe gonna check if it can still read my games xD.

Only 20 games for $100? Might just wait for a huge price drop.

So instead of offering backwards compatibility, and the ability to use a dualshock4, they copy nintendo. Going to be a paint to play 3d games, but I guess people are buying these. going to need a million consoles hooked to your tv at this rate.

Surely anybody that uses an Emulator can see how crap and over priced these things are. Just cheap cash grabs.

You know what would be a better idea? bringing PS1 games to the PS4.

Sega, we're waiting for you now. It's time you guys came back into the hardware business for a bit!
Then we'll wait for Panasonic to make a comeback with a 3DO Mini, and Atari with a Jaguar Mini... LOL

Not bad at all.

It's cool, but I won't buy it. I really would prefer the PS4 get PS1 Classics support so all those games I bought on my PS3 can be played on the PS4. I've totally stopped buying digital games on any platform except PC because I don't trust that any console maker will allow me to have access to my downloadable titles from the previous generation on their next-gen systems. I never expected all those games I was buying on my PS3 (and I don't mean digital full PS3 titles like say Little Big Planet, but rather PS1 Classics downloadable games and I believe even the "smaller" PSN games, things like Flow, Flower, Journey ... and thankfully, they DID make PS4 versions of those 3 games and give them away to all PS3 edition owners for free, which is awesome, but I for stupid reason expected that they would just be backwards compatible with the original versions, which the PS4 does in fact NOT support). Don't even get me started on the Wii Virtual Console! I bought like 100 games through that, because for the first time I could legally support the publishers of these games and own legal digital versions that were easy to access. I paid good money for all of my favorite NES/SNES/N64/TurboGrafx games. And now I've got a Switch, and... nothing. I can't download or a play a single one of those on it. It's so disrespectful to your customers, I think, to sell digital goods and then the next console generation comes and it all still sits there in the past. No reason that you can't support those same digital products on your new console whenever you bring one out. It should have been a key design principle, you make a new console, you gotta get in that support for all your customers' past digital purchases! Anyway, that's the end of my little rant.

I don't know. I have more emulators and roms than I know what to do with.

So that's why Sony doesn't have backwards compatibility support anymore

@BazzAckwards Nintendo even copied the Neogeo X with the Nintendo Switch. A console you can use portably or connect it to the dock and play on the TV.

AWWWW MAN!! I wouldn't think Sony would "BITE" off Nintendo and make a mini-unit of their classic generations games. Oh well.

If it has FFT and SOTN, I'd preorder it.

Kinda disappointed. It costs more than the NES/SNES Classics, AC adapter sold separately, has less games, and it doesn't use the dual analog controllers. Looking at the titles they're using to get people excited, and the lack of analogs, big games like GT and MGS seem unlikely. A lot of the later PS1 games really needed the analogs, they played like crap with the dpad.

I passed on the Ninty classics and I was waiting for PS to really knock it out of the park with this one. It's just really disappointing. There was so much potential here.

$100 for only 20 with no DualShock and no AC Adapter? Seriously?

The 5 games they chose to use at the reveal make me question whether they will have the games that make me nostalgic for the PS1. Because none of those games are on my personal top 10 list. It is just hard to justify $100 for 20 games.

Games that remind me of the good times playing PS1 and that I would like to see added.

Metal Gear Solid (Highly doubtful but it is the number 1 PS1 experience to me).
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (One was great but 2 seems more polished)
GTA, GTA:London 1969, and GTA2
Hot Shots Golf 2
Twisted Metal
Tomba and Tomba 2
Crash Bandicoot
FF Tactics
Spyro
Wipeout
Casltvania
Gran Turismo 2

Many more, I didnt hit barely any of the RPGs and I also played a lot of Diablo on the PS1

Honorable mention: Ape Escape

This is fantastic. I hope other companies see the potential. Maybe Sega will release a Dreamcast Classic!

PS1 as no value since you can play all it's games on PS2 and PS3, this is even more expencive them a used PS3, and a PS2 is less them half this price.

I hope Tenchu,and Syphon filter will be included.

Are people seriously complaining about no ac adapter? You know those cables have been getting with mobile phones for the past 10 years. Or the cable that came with your PS4, XB1 controller that will do just fine. Seriously I think I have like 30+ of those damn micro USB cables in my desk draw.

These mini consoles are a gimmick I got over really quickly, glad I didn't waste my money on the Nintendo ones. But if this has the original Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid, GTA, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Tomb Raider then it would be pretty tempting as I never actually played any of them.

Hey all,
It’s not for anyone here to buy themselves.

It’s a gift item and that’s why it will sell and will make some money. That’s fine with me.

What’s not fine is no backward compatibility on the main consoles. If it’s so they can release this kind of product then I’m pretty pissed.

If they’re cool, they’ll release this for Christmas, make their cash from aunties and uncles etc and then bring more backward compatibility to digital and PS4.

I would get this if there is a chance to add games to it as easy as it is for the Nintendo minis.

Now we need Sega to "officially" release one for Genesis and Dreamcast.

Figures there would be nintendo fanboys talking trash. Zero f's given. This is what I wanted besides an n64 and ps2 mini.

Symphony of the Night and you have me Sony.

I will buy it if it have Legend of Dragoon and trophies ! =D oh and Musashi and Breath of Fire 3

it'll not be worth ordering until I know what other titles are included... even the few mantioned so far are not that interesting to me tbh... could have at least put the first few months of PS1 launch titles on the machine... BattleArenaToshinden, RidgeRacer, SoulCaliber, DestuctionDerby, to name a few...

Sweet! I should never have gotten rid of my PS1 and my copy of Tekken 3. I might check this out.

Forget who copied who, SONY granted my wish for this system!!!! I’m totally getting this

it should have been a reskinned PlaystationTv if anybody remember that.

Gonna by one or two, one for myself and one to sell to some stupid rich kid off ebay when there sold out just b4 Xmas 😋🎅🤯$$$ $ $$$🤡

Sold :)

• Meh first PS1 was trash. Not till PS3 was it amazing. Had PS2 but never played it so can't comment (was doing other activities lol)
• Sony is BOSS now with PS4.
• I want a Dreamcast although I still have mine so not truly needed.
• Perhaps a Nin Gamecube?

I am excited for Microsoft to announce the Xbox classic with the bulky controller that is bigger than the console.

I snagged it out of pure nostalgia. I don’t really want to play any of he games shown lol.

Damn you Sony, as if you didn't already have a ton of my money already

I'll pass, emulation is the far superior option and no limits on games. It would be different if they added a functioning disk drive

No thanks SONY.

https://i.imgflip.com/2i9zj...

Holy crap. I'm going to have to get one. I'll take it with me when we travel, and when we go to our camper.

oh hey nintendo's idea.

Not into these. I have the entire NES and SNES catalog on PC so I passed on those too.

PS1 era hasn’t aged as well. Those early 3D polygons and fixed cameras are rough. In this particular case I’d rather play a remake like RE1, RE2, Twin Snakes, Crash, Metroid Zero Mission, Halo Anniversary, FF7. Hope PS Classic at least has Silent Hill.

i'll pass

Aw man no dual shock

These systems are cool and all, but I really don't have the time anymore for "Nostalgia gaming". As far as the ensuing chicken and the egg conversations, my head hurts reading this crap. Ugh.

Lol how many people are gonna get this crap

$100? Some will buy, not many thou.

My issue is that I will prolly have most of the games, with the NES and SNES, I was too young to buy games on my own.

Surely RE 2, Twisted Metal, Gran Turismo 1&2, Spyro, Crash, MGS, Tony Hawk Pro Skater etc would be the big money-getters?

If it doesn’t have Einhander I don’t want it

Nintendo's next move : release the N64 Classic!!!

Woah those graphics are insane, ugh disgustingly old one blurry pixel mess.

I wonder what the cover thing is for on the back side (left side as viewed from the back)? Any chance this thing is just a repackaged Vita TV and there's a slot there for Vita carts and/or memory cards?

It must have Castlevania Symphony of the night, Resident Evil 2, Metal Gear Solid Tactical Espionage, Einhander. All my old school buddies know what I'm talking about.

I actually have a couple of questions regarding this that the article didn't touch:

Are we able to access our older save data in some way/form? I know it says you can't use memory cards but what about us who still have the Memory Card reader for the PS3?
Will there be Dual Shock controllers released in the future?

I would rather have this than backwards compatibility

This is cool, and I’m on board but I do wish they included the dual shock controllers as opposed to the originals w/out analog sticks.

RELEASE THE LIST!

Lucky my ps1 and psone still running well

Yes it absolutely is and if even say it’s mandatory to get the most out of Remake and Rebirth.

yes

Yes!
As soon as I finished Remake I went back. Still a must-play.

For me the original is the best video game ever made.
So yes, and if you dare try to beat Ruby.

Yes, personally I prefer og FF7, remake and rebirth add unnecessary formula to the story, like whisper...etc.

Yes. Played it 2 years ago with various mods on pc. Pure pleasure.

Yes! I replayed the game back in 2020 on PS4 and got the Platinum Trophy.

For old folks we don't care that they graphics are outdated, but younger people may have an adjustment period. However I believe the art design, music, and overall enjoyment of the game will eventually hook in younger gamers if they stick with it.

Play the remake

Yes FF7 was one of the games that help put Playstation on the map. I still play the old FF7, FF8, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis. Just because they are old games doesn't mean a person can't still have fun with them.

It most certainly is. One of the best game. Idda recommended it before playing remake personally. So you know what actually going on and can see certain things.

Tbh why the fk is this even being questioned.

Of course it is.

It's worth playing more than Remake and Rebirth... Because it has a cohesive story, next to no filler and you don't have to wait 12 years after buying it to see the ending.. lol.

One of the best games I've played this year and my GOTY so far.

The OG is the only one I recognize. Moving on.
