Nintendo was so successful with their classic console line Sony has just announced they will be releasing a classic console of their own, and can you get any more classic than the PlayStation 1?

The PS1 Classic will ship December 3rd 2018 for a price of $99.99 US and include twenty games including Small Arms, TEKKEN 3 and Final Fantasy VII. To play the system, it will include two wired original PlayStation controllers (not Dual Shock).

We currently don’t have a competed game list and that is a shame. Unlike Nintendo’s consoles which have two dozen first-party titles everyone wants to play, most of the PS1’s greatest exclusives were made by third parties, bringing doubt into the quality of the final game list. While Final Fantasy VII is being included, it currently doesn’t list Metal Gear Solid or Silent Hill, the two best games for the system. You also won’t be able to play the PS1 Classic out of the box. Even at a price of $99.99US, the classic won’t ship with any AC Adapter. Hopefully you have a USB-type charging adapter lying around that should be able to power the unit.
