PlayStation Launches Its Own PS1 Mini

Not one to be outdone by Nintendo and SNK in their respective quests to weaponize nostalgia and charging people for it, Sony PlayStation announces its PlayStation Classic mini console a few days before Tokyo Game Show 2018.

Here’s what we’re getting:

• A small PlayStation One mini console with an HDMI output and a USB cable that connects to a power source. The size is 149x33x105mm.
• Two PSOne controllers.
• Video output of 720p and 480p, just like the old days.
• A price tag of SG$139/RM429.

So what games are we getting? Well, PlayStation said there are 20, featuring:

• Final Fantasy VII
• Jumping Flash!
• Tekken 3
• Wild Arms

The rest of the 16 titles will be announced soon. Let’s hope us retro nuts get the following games to look back to. A wishlist if you will…

• Winback
• Syphon Filter
• Tomba! 2
• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
• Vagrant Story
• Xenogears
• Brave Fencer Musashi
• Twisted Metal 2
• Parappa The Rapper

While we wonder, how about more promo pictures of the device in question? We know a ton of people who want to get their hands on this bad boy. We also know a few others who want to play the high-cost reseller/scalping game, to which we say to you: f*** off.
