I have zero reason to buy this.

Did I sell that to you?

For extra nostalgia, remember to sit your PS Classic on its side.

Yeah, I’m with you. I feel like I already own all the games they are going to pack into it, although I’m assuming they will all look better on this game.

Jumping Flash is that really primitive first person 3D platformer where you play as a robot rabbit. It was a lot of fun back in the day and one of the main reasons I bought a PlayStation.

Truth be told, the whole point of this thing is to capitalize on popular nostalgia, so odds are pretty good that anyone who has even a bare-bones PS collection will already own these games. I’m sold it it has Symphony of the Night on it (which it probably will).

That being said, I haven’t seen anyone do this yet, so I will predict the other games.

Metal Gear Solid
WarHawk
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot 2
Crash Bandicoot 3
Crash Team Racing
Grand Theft Auto ... 2?
Oddworld
Wipeout
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Resident Evil
Spyro the Dragon
Tomb Raider
Twisted Metal
...Chrono Cross?
...Mega Man Legends?
...Croc?

Jumping flash is a decent game and an early on for PS1.

I can see these appealing to collectors. Also gamers like myself who want to experience something they didn't bitd in an abridged fashion.

I'm guessing these games are going to be in their original (or close to) resolution like they are through PSN for the PS3. It's not going to look good on an HD LCD, like the NES and SNES Classic do.

Considering the vast difference of memory in PS1 games compare to nes/snes

I'm guessing this will be 8gb or 16gb of internal storage, which is great once hacked.

I'm honestly more interested in what the insides look like and emulation quality of course.

So...

1) No Dualshock for some reason. Games like Gran Turismo (I'm sure it will be included) are much better with Dualshock.

2) No info on how it will manage interlaced games. PSOne classics on PS3 were really fucking bad in this regard. Tekken 3 was literally unplayable no sarcasm.

3) PS2 slim is just as small and plays PS2 games as well.

It has USB ports for controller ports, so maybe a PS3/4 compatible pad can somehow be plugged into this

The reason the NES and SNES classic sold well was because they were cheap and had many games on them that have become stupidly expensive over the years. They also had some unreleased games on them. The PS1 and the games listed so far really don't fall into that category. For one the games listed so far are all still a dime a dozen, secondly they're available and even still playable in their original formats on newer systems like the PS2 and PS3. The PS3 even up scales them last I checked.

So for $99 this is a hard sell for me.

Still, not including Dualshock in the box seems cheap. Many PS1 games since 1997 include analog support, or rumble, or both.

What was wrong with it?

I agree. They should have something more PlayStation iconic like Spyro the Dragon. There were so many great games for the PS1. I'm a bit disappointed with only 20 games.

Come on Sony... just because Nintendo keeps their fans hanging on doesn't mean you have to.

Not to mention PS2's are dirt cheap right now. I just saw an auction for two working PS2 slims, with 10 great games... $50 starting bid and it ended with not a single bid.

Really good PS 1 games on the other hand... not so cheap. Classics like Spyro the Dragon of Bushido Blade are still pretty popular & pricey games considering.

Btw... I would never expect to see Bushido Blade on a PS1 flashback unit, but what a fun game to play with some drinking buddies. It's just too much fun. I love the 'one hit kill' game play, and some of the hilarious things that can happen in the fights. It's so fun its still worth picking up and playing. SO MUCH FUN!
