I also worry about games that have the option. Crash 1 works fine with the d-pad because it was built around it but if this collection has Crash 3, for example, I would hate using a d-pad for that.
They really need to announce the full line-up.
The release is in December.
I'm sure they will have trailers revealing the other games leading up to release to generate hype.
Hopefully they didn't actually had to cut him from this version of the game.
I don't need this... I don't need this... But damn it's cute! Sony should make it also be a mini-disc player for more nostalgia points.
They're copying Nintendo again when they sold the New 3DS XL without an AC adapter. ;)
/sarcasm
I noticed in the video it has the flap on the back where the parallel connector was in earlier models. I wonder if there are any connections hidden behind which might allow downloading/transferring more games?
I'm sure if you read this thread you'll see this mentioned, but it can be powered off any USB port on your TV, a neighboring console, or any spare phone brick.
It's no different than a lot of Nintendo handhelds.
There's too much console warrior crap in this thread, honestly.
If you can get a bunch of people to pre-order without knowing, why not?
I mean sure. But personally I don't really need a hype cycle for a bunch of games I've probably already played lol. It ain't like they're gonna be adding a long lost game or something.
Just a weird way to go about a "limited" Console.
Really need to see the full game list for this. No analog sticks (which means no Ape Escape) and no power supply are already a little annoying, but the PS1 does have some great games.
Pre-ordered due to FOMO but i'm not sure I'm gonna go through with it, nostalgia is a dullard even with the GOAT Tekken 3
Most likely to reduce cost, and since it can be powered with any USB port, it isn't a huge issue IMO. Nintendo and SNK didn't include a power adapter for their Classic/Mini consoles too.
No dualshock is a tough one. Don't think I'm getting it. I'll just wait for the GOAT, the PS2
Hmmm. I never had a PSX (friends did in college) so I don't have a close connection to the system, but depending on the rest of the games, I might be tempted.
Man....if they crack this as wide open as they cracked the NES/SNES Classic, it'll be an amazing little console.
It's a mass market nostalgia box. The people buying this won't be counting frames or the jaggies.
I feel like every 10-20 posts in this thread we've seen someone try and make the USB power into an issue.
Harada confirmed on Twitter that Gon is in. He seemed to imply that the licensing thing was never really a big issue to begin with.
Oh wait these game series' make me wonder if they have a shot on the Playstation Classic: Hot Shots Golf and MLB The Show. Hot Shots' chances are good but a little weird since the first game was developed by the current Mario Golf and Tennis dev Camelot, so they'd probably put 2 in there. However, it was one of the few Hot Shots Golf games to let the Santa Monica studio to create Western cartoon designs to appeal to the West:
Now that Everybody's Golf has gone all in on the anime art style World Wide, would the console have the Japanese aethestic that 2 got only in Japan?
For MLB sure it can be argued those games didn't get good until the PS3 and PS4 era's but Sony does have the licensing rights to publish the Sim MLB games (More arcade-y games like RBI Baseball have MLB teams and are on other systems). Wonder if any of the ld 989 Studios MLB games make the cut?

It will go nicely next to my NES and SNES classics, that's for sure.
I am waiting for one of these companies to go beyond just the "Classics" idea and release a Retro Console. It would support the entire back catalogue up to the last generation. Make it online so the purchases are tied to an account. If they want to sell the nostalgia of old hardware shell designs, release them as special editions and produce controller replicas.
Nintendo could basically do this with old Wii U hardware. Reconfigure the thing so it's a harddrive but can still play GameCube, Wii, and Wii U files. No emulation necessary.
I fill like this would make a great pillar for their businesses. Whatever nostalgia a generation has, it's covered by this Retro Console. You upgrade it every mid-gen so it supports the last console.

Not much of a fan of the ps1s library. So this will be a pass for me unless it comes with omega boost.
I think I'm in for this, depending on the games. Booting up PlayStation for the first time was a very big "woah" moment in my gaming life.
I am nervous about how this will all look on current TV setups though. Same with a potential N64 mini. These early 3D games are rough.

I could see PS2 classic in 2020, since that's the 20th anniversary.
I hope this means Sony knows we want Ps1 games on PS4.

Dino Crisis confirmed. :p
Also no analogs, instant fail for me (no AC adapter either, wtf, those things don't last forever, I'm already charging my Vita wit my phone charger and another phone charger just died on me)
rip
Sony: Can we put Dino Crisis on the PS Classic?
Capcom: What's a Dino Crisis?
Same here and the inevitable N64 mini. If only Sega would do a Saturn Classic! Never gonna happen but it's nice to want things.
Honestly can't see how they would manage it. Low cost mobile hardware isn't at the level where it can reliably emulate PS2 games and I honestly don't see it being there in 2020. Heck Sony's own PS2 emulation on the PS3/4 has some issues and barely runs above native res.
Not even close to being in on this, my PS3 still functions and I'd rather just buy PS1 games from PSN and play them at 480P on a crt.
They know it, and they've decided they'd rather get you to pay for this than do backwards compatibility.
Symphony is a staple PSX title. One of the finest games on the platform. I can't imagine a classic system release like this without it. Same for Metal Gear Solid.
I'm curious to see what kind of display options are available as well, I'd be surprised if Sony didn't build in some of the smoothing options available on the PS2 and PS3 here.
Considering that the PlayStation is the only console that Chrono Cross was ever released on & with it being on PSN, I can definitely see it being a part of this.
