Sony knows you need much more of a nostalgia boost
than the remastered Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot games. You need a deeper throwback. So here’s the introduction of the PlayStation Classic, a new miniature recreation of the original PlayStation system that already comes pre-programmed with 20 games.
To be more specific, it’s 45 percent smaller than what players first got in 1994. As for the games, Final Fantasy VII, TEKKEN 3, R4: Ridge Racer Type 4, Jumping Flash!, and Wild Arms are part of the virtual pack with more announcements coming at a later time.
Just for scale, here’s all the power of the original system resting in a human hand.
The Classic system comes with an HDMI cable to connect to your television, two wired controllers, and a virtual memory card — all this for $99.99 ($129.99 CAD) when PlayStation Classic drops on Dec. 3. Forewarning, limited quantities will be available across Japan, North America, and Europe.
