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.

Aw no Ape Escape? Damn! At least Destruction Derby made the list, freaking adore that game.

 

[Reploid]

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

 

[DBlaze]

I'll just stick with my raspberry pi, thanks.

 

[Beerus]

they should have at least added 50 games for that price tag

 

[m_babble]

Will buy if it has Hakchi equivalent.

 

[LuigiXL]

Wow, you know you're old when you have most of those and the original console.
Better list than I was expecting TBH.

 

[elBenyo]

Based on the game it most likely has a 16gb flash module in it for storage. Just wait till it gets hacked so you can choose what games you have.

 

[sarkwalvein]

It is a good selection of games actually.

 

[eriol33]

Wow the the choice of the games is really really bad.

Ape Escape was the first game that required a DualShock controller, and as they only bundle the original PlayStation controller, you would not be able to play it properly.

I am disappointed they didn't add a Hot Shots Golf game, and shocked that both Spyro and crash didn't make the cut. Also think that some of the game choices were a bit odd, like having Twisted Metal, instead of Twisted Metal 2, which is the fan favorite.

I never even noticed the original controller! Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[Dust2dust]

How we gonna install a modchip in such a small form factor? On a more serious note, I wonder if we can connect old school PSX controllers into it. It would be cool to play R4 (the game, not the flashcard) with my NeGcon (which still works). I never could get the NeGcon to work properly on the raspberry Pi.

 

[Localhorst86]

heavily disappointed by the lineup, tbh. No Gran Turismo? Gran Turismo 2? Destruction Derby 2? Driver? Alundra? Castlevania: Symphony of the night? Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2? Ace Combat 2? Legend of Mana? No Suikoden game?

 

[AxlSt00pid]

Whoa whoa whoa I never imagined it would have Revelations Persona on it

 

[huma_dawii]

No Driver? No Tomba! 2? Wtf

 

[eyeliner]

I like the ibrary. Indeed, it lacks Wipeout, Twisted Metal 2 and Destruction Derby 2 should be there instead.
I'd put Ridge Racer, too.

I'm on the fence, actually. Might get it.

Looking at some of these games on PSN, they seem to be either relatively cheap (<=£3.99 - £7.99) or they're unavailable (e.g. Battle Arena Toshinden).

As it stands I don't think I'll be bothering with this (already own quite a few of the games).
