Hell, it should have just been a bundle which just came with physical discs for all the games and an S-Video-to-HDMI converter box.

And one of those super-flaky multi-page memory cards for authenticity.

Not that it wasn't a fun game or anything, but does Wild ARMs strike anyone else as a really loving weird choice? I would've expected Breath of Fire or Parasite Eve long before that.

It isn't stealing Nitnendo's idea until its horribly under-stocked and price controlled by scalpers. And to be fair, they did trade Nintendo a horrible online fee so fair is fair.

It just sucks that it doesn't have Metal Gear Solid, Legend of Legia or Legend of Dragoon.

Sony owns the Wild Arms IP so it's basically in as a first-party thing.

On that note, I imagine this thing won't have a Gran Turismo game due to all the real life car licensing stuff which is probably why Ridge Racer Type 4 is there instead.

The SNES classic didn't have Chrono Trigger. Not every great game is guaranteed a spot. I expect to never see a Xenogears port in my lifetime. The PC can emulate the remaining 99% of games that this classic won't have and do it better.

I...never thought about that. I kind of figured it would be a lock but yeah, re-licensing all the that stuff would be hell.

I'm guessing Warhawk and some form of Jetmoto will show up in this. Maybe a Hot Shots or Arc the Lad? ...Legend of Dragoon?

It's SUPER unlikely but I want Megaman Legends to be on it. Primarily because I want people to pressure Capcom to make a sequel so we finally have some closure in that series. I liked that series.

Grandia would be an easy pick since it is due for Steam, so no licensing issues there. I hope they have the disc three content.

Yeah I imagine a tony hawk game would be extremely hard too because not only do you have all the licensed music but you have all the real world skateboard brands and real life skaters in there too.

Dragoon and Legaia are both Sony as well right? I think they could fill it up with 20 Sony games alone before even hitting the 3rd party stuff. Syphon Filter, Twisted Metal, Crash, Spyro, Tomba, Wipeout,Jet Moto, etc.

They should just make a ps1 box that can connect to the net where you can download what you want or just enable backwards compatibility for the PS4 (and then add more games so the Vita and PS3 could use them too)

For real, there's a ton of great stuff they own or are the publishers of for PSX across a lot of genres.

I wonder if there'll be different selections of games on the US and Japanese ones.

Dragoon is. That game irritates the hell out of me though because I swear to god the timing on the combos is always off by a half second.

Crash and Spyro are owned by Activision now, but it'd be weird if Sony didn't try to get at least one of each title from them. I could see one of the first two Twisted Metal games making it in, but not the later two as those featured copious amounts of Rob Zombie to license. Jet Moto had a bunch of Mountain Dew advertisements from what I remember, anyone know if those were taken out for the PSN release?

Aren't the first three Spyro games getting the remake treatment with fancy graphics and the whole shebang? Might either be a good time to get one of the originals on the PS Classic and drum up (some more) hype for it or they might go the exact opposite route and not want the old stuff easily accessible because of the new remakes coming out "soon" or whatever.

Yeah, I hadn't played the game in a long time, so I fired it up to see how it was with the original PS1 controller and it was miserable without the stick. Probably would've made more sense to have the original Ridge Racer or something.

I'm actually surprised they went with Tekken 3 and Ridge Racer Type 4 instead of the firsts of each series. At the very least, I can understand going after Tekken 3 considering it's, what, in the top five of best-selling PS1 games ever? I don't remember Type 4 getting much coverage at all back when it was new.

Pretty sure Gran Turismo came out before RR Type 4, which after playing GT made me never want to touch type 4 again.

I'd love GT or GT2 but they might be in licensing hell and also loving suck poo poo without analog controls. Although being a sony studio it might be easier?
