After the release of micro-consoles like the NES and the SNES Classic Edition, as well as the Neo Geo Mini, Sony finally launched with a PlayStation Classic in December.
The micro-console will come with 20 pre-loaded games, which will include popular titles such as Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, R4: Ridge Racer Type 4, Jumping Flash! and Wild arms to name a few. The complete list of games has yet to be published.
The PlayStation Classic is also apparently 45% smaller on the sides and 80% smaller in volume than the original console. Fortunately, it seems that the pads did not have this size reduction, because it would have been rather painful to play with.
In addition to the two classic PlayStation pads, you will also receive an HDMI cable and a USB cable to power it. The USB power supply is sold separately, but it's pretty typical for these retro-themed micro-consoles.
Released December 3, the PlayStation Classic will cost $ 99.99 and it's much more than the NES and SNES Classic editions and not far from the Neo Geo Mini, which has its own LCD screen.
Although this decision by Sony is not quite surprising given the success of the Nintendo micro-consoles and the recent Neo Geo Mini, it goes against the animosity of Sony towards retro games and especially titles Older PlayStation.
After all, Jim Ryan, of Sony, said that this kind of games "look old," so the fact that we now have a PlayStation Classic is rather amusing in light of this statement.
My only hope is that Sony does not stop there to finally support the backward compatibility of the extensive PlayStation library on consoles such as PlayStation 4 and beyond.
In the meantime, the PlayStation Classic will be released in December and with a little luck, it could even include the original. Armored core.
