Following in the footsteps of varied Nintendos Classic before it, PlayStation Classic has hit the web with its own list of 20 games that it’ll be reviving for a stint of nostalgia-induced entertainment. Sony announced in September that it’d be releasing a compact revival of its nearly-25-year-old megahit gaming system, but has withheld the comprehensive list of games to be included until now.
Naturally, in the meantime, we brainstormed our own top choices—sadly, Parappa the Rapper did not make the cut as we had hoped, but we do have a few other favorites on the list to make up for this glaring omission. Peruse below and weigh in on how well you think PlayStation Classic’s arsenal of titles will uphold the legacy of every non-Nintendo family’s favorite gaming system.
Battle Arena Toshinden
Cool Borders 2
Destruction Derby
Final Fantasy VII
Grand Theft Auto
Intelligent Qube
Jumping Flash!
Metal Gear Solid
Mr. Driller
Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee
Rayman
Resident Evil Director’s Cut
Revelations: Persona
R4 RIDGE RACER TYPE 4
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
Syphon Filter
Tekken 3
TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX
Twisted Metal
Wild Arms
As you can see, the Classic has most of the big hitters represented, covering the realms of platforming, racing, shooting, strategy, RPG, and then some. But surely you’ve noticed that something is missing—which PlayStation games do you wish made the cut for the Classic? Let us know! We’ll be happy to commiserate with you. (Someday you’ll get your due respect, Parappa.)
The console will release on December 3, and you can preorder your own right now.
