All The Games I Need To Play On This Adorable Tiny Playstation
Headphones on: cast your mind back to this absolute beast of a feast for the senses, courtesy of PlayStation.
That’s the sound of pure, sweet, somewhat dusty nostalgia, my friends — and it could be all yours. A mini-version, at least.
We’ve already seen Atari “Flashback” and Nintendo NES and SNES “mini” consoles rolled out over the last couple of years and to be a tad brutal, some of them sucked. Sony is jumping on board with the $149.99 PlayStation Classic, available December 3 — and I’m optimistic.
It looks exactly like a teensy lil original PlayStation, which is cool and all, but the most important thing is, obviously, the games. It comes with 20 loaded and ready go — Final Fantasy VII and Tekken 3 will be playable, as will RIIIIIIIIDGE RACEEEEEEEER which alone makes this an insta-buy from me.
Wild Arms and Jumping Flash are the only other confirmed titles, though — which leaves us with this: my personal wishlist for the other 15 games I want to play on mini PS1. I’ve even thrown in some comments from the most discerning of gamers, YouTube commenters, to support my case.
You listening, Sony? Cool.

Then she put this weird looking thin plastic doughnut that said Frogger on the front of it into the Playstation. When the game came on, she showed me how to play the game. Thus, my gaming adventure begun.” — Walactor
