Japan Gaming Guide

A mini PlayStation is on the way with 20 classic games included.

Following in the footsteps of the many recent retro consoles, a new mini PlayStation is coming. The PlayStation Classic will include Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Wild Arms and Tekken III as well as several unannounced games.

Final Fantasy VII needs no introduction. The Tekken and Ridge Racer games are the final entries of those iconic series on the console and will no doubt appeal to most players.

Jumping Flash is an unusual 3D platformer and one of those early titles we had our eye on back in the day but will jump at the chance to try this time around.

Lastly, Wild Arms is a Western themed RPG which again, we’ve not played but would enjoy checking out.

The rest of the games have yet to be confirmed but are expected to vary between regions. Whether gamers will be able to add games from other regions as with the mini NES and SNES remains to be seen.

The new version of the system is 45% smaller than the original. Two classic controllers are included.

The Japanese launch price will be Y9980. Elsewhere the system will be around $100 or 100 Euros. You’ll be able to buy it on the 3rd of December. Best get writing to Santa now.
