When Sony first unveiled the PlayStation Classic, they said their microconsole would feature a total of 20 games, including Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, R4: Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms. Today, the consolemaker confirmed the identities of the remaining 15 titles.
Culled mostly from the early days of the console (likely due to the lack of analog sticks on the included controller), the PlayStation Classic will include another early 3D fighter (Battle Arena Toshinden), a pair of car combat games (Destruction Derby and Twisted Metal), and a few 3D action games (Syphon Filter, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident Evil: Director’s Cut), all of which helped define the PlayStation’s style in its fight against the Nintendo 64. But Sony will also reach way back and resurrect Take-Two’s Grand Theft Auto and Atlus’s Revelations: Persona for the PlayStation Classic as well.
The microconsole’s lineup is so heavily skewed towards the PlayStation’s 1995-1997 era, that I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony is planning to release an updated edition of the PlayStation Classic for fans in the future. But that’s just speculation on my part, so for now, here’s a look at all 20 titles set to be included on the microconsole:
