Last month Sony announced the re-release of its first gaming console in mini format as the PlayStation Classic. While only a few preloaded titles were announced at the time, more would be revealed at a later date. And today's the day! We now have the full list of the 20 games that you can play once you boot up the PlayStation Classic this December!

​

Here's the full rundown:

1. Battle Arena Toshinden
2. Cool Boarders 2
3. Destruction Derby
4. Final Fantasy VII
5. Grand Theft Auto
6. Intelligent Cube
7. Jumping Flash!
8. Metal Gear Solid
9. Mr. Driller
10. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
11. Rayman
12. Resident Evil Director's Cut
13. Revelations: Persona
14. R4 Ridge Racer Type 4
15. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
16. Syphon Filter
17. Tekken 3
18. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
19. Twisted Metal
20. Wild Arms

The PlayStation Classic follows suit with the recent wave of retro console re-releases, boasting the same form factor but it is actually 45% smaller than 1994’s PlayStation.

​

Out of the nostalgic box, the device comes complete with two wired controllers, plus a virtual memory card to save your adventures as you switch between titles. Since this console releases in the 21st century, it also comes with an HDMI cable to connect to your TV. However, a compatible USB AC adaptor is required to use this console but is not included. The official PlayStation page advises to use an AC adaptor that supports 5 V, 1.0 A USB (Type A) output.

Pre-orders for the PlayStation Classic are now open at an MSRP of $99.99 to reserve yours for its release on December 3rd.

Dollars to donuts Konami was a stingy prick about giving them the licensing rights.

Makes sense they would say no since they're trying to sell their hd version for I'm sure far more than they'd get from the ps1 classic licensing.

 

[SpicySausage]

Lineup is really lackluster which is disappointing, but it will probably sell well anyways.
Though I have not really been on board with these classic consoles anyway, since I still have original or digital copies of my retros games.
Seeing Persona on this is interesting to say the least, can't wait to see all the neo Persona fans picking this up and seeing how archaic it is compared to 3-5.

FTFY
Persona 3 system is as punishing as a classic shin megami tensei game but with the visual novel interactions. persona 4 started casualising the series to the point that persona titles don't bear the shin megami tensei moniker anymore.

My mistake, I was referring more to how the first Persona was a dungeon crawler with little to no social interactions with the other characters. You are correct though, Persona its own thing now.
Thinking back to Persona 1, didn't it have an unreasonably high encounter rate with painfully long attack animations? I'm beginning to wonder if these are 1:1 copies of their originals or if some of the games on this system will have changes. It is unlikely though, since classic consoles seem to be rushed cash grabs.

A list of ANY 20 titles was never going to please everyone, there are some really good games for sure and it seems they did try for some variety, of course everyone had their own idea of the perfect list. FOR ME as I have heard from others, the attractiveness will come down to hack-ability and being adding to add ones own titles. Even for those not into such things I suspect it will still be a buy for many. Here is the official list video and an image to consider.

 

[Rabbid4240]

Where the fuck is Mega Man X4.

 

[Krazyeye]

Boo no twisted metal 2?! and please do not get this just for FF7... all the FF series will be coming soon to Switch early next year (except for FF8...)

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Hooray, another half-assed emulator for braindeds, who gonna say they buy because its legal, so they could enhance they low self-esteem

It's a PSTV repackaged as a PS1 Classic. Don't know what you're going on about being half-assed, probably just complaining for the sake of it.

PSTV has buttery smooth PS1 emulation.

I was thinking of buying a hacked one! Can I use my own roms?

 

[MaxiBash]

you can buy it used for like 22 euros... if you own a ps4 and cant spare like 25 $ i dont know what to say to you, and you are considering buying a mini console that is worth 100$...

at my store, everything is apparently insanely pricy
I don't know where I can get is elsewhere as I nevdr shop online

 

[Song of storms]

Yes. Get one only of you really need it from somewhere else. Stop producing waste just for the sake of it, damn.

I mean... isn't making a plastic toy that does the same things any phone and Playstation a waste?

It's not for me, I think it's cute. But I see no reason for not adding a simple cable.

ebay and amazon is very easy to get stuff really, and even if the product doesnt reach you or gets damaged you get a full refund back, not that it happened to me ever tough.

srs people who only buy games at retail stores buy games at full price, i never payed 70 euros for a single ps4 game at launch ever again, you got amazing online stores like ebay and amazon for used, base.com for new in europe, preety damn cheapest i ever found and shipping is very low.

Some European online stores can afford much cheaper prices because they're usually offshore. With some creativity, they can avoid to pay any VAT. I'm not going to name any store in particular because I don't want their lawyers hunting me down for telling the truth. Look it up.

Yeah, if it ends in a bag up in the attic or in a garbage can as the 20+ old USB power adapters that were not being used, then it is a waste.
If you are buying it I expect you to at least want to use it as decoration, otherwise it is a waste... and I believe you won't already have 20+ out of use mini consoles collecting dust in some bag up in the attic.

 

[The Frenchman]

I'll buy it, and anyone who judges me. I judge you too.

thanks.

Lol this seems pretty much a joke compilation with some obvious omissions and subpar entries of a series (GTA1 without expansions and not GTA2, DD instead of DD2, Cool Borders 2 when there was CB3, only Syphon Filter 1 instead of the complete series etc.). PlayStation Classic 2 & 3 anyone? I already preordered it on Amazon back when it was announced because you never know but if it turns out not being hackable I'm probably just going to return it. And then it doesn't even have Dualshocks...

I really don't understand what is the value of this being hackable.

If what you want is to hack it, just get anything more powerful and cheap, and already hackable like a RPi3 with a case and gamepads.
You can even go the extra mile and get it with analogs if you go that route.

I don't think this is something I would buy just because I wanted to hack it.

Just paying 100 bucks for the official™ PS1 plastic case I guess

why not just get a ps3 and hack it, probably much easier lol and it can even read original discs and everything

 

[sarkwalvein]

Yeah, that's an option also.
And as a side effect, you can also play PS3 games on it.

Anyway what I meant is that getting this just to hack it doesn't sound like a good plan to me. I would understand if you just think it's cute, tbh it will probably end up as decoration.
