As for resident evil DC. The dual shock edition has the crappy music. The version here is pretty good.

Wait I’m confused, I thought you mentioned in a previous post that the soundtrack was altered/replaced in the DC version? Or are there different versions made for use with the original controller and the DualShock?!

I’d be interested in probably half of the games. It’s a really strange selection with so many obvious omissions.

Did anyone want to play Rainbow Six on the PSOne at launch even?

There's two director's cuts I think. One is the Director's Cut: Dual Shock version, which has the sh!tty music. But seeing as the ps classic doesn't support dualshock controllers it isn't likely to be that version included here.

Like this classic here-

That's a way better list. G Darius, Gradius Gaiden and Parasite Eve are classics.

No its not, utter nonsense.

Take out

Destruction Derby
Syphon Filter
Rainbow 6
Revelations: Persona

Add in

Arc the Lad II
Parasite Eve
Armored Core
G-Darius

That would be a far better list for me anyway.

Thats swapping and changing games. The other poster claimed the other list of games was far better than the eu list, which its not.

I did. More fool me tbh, game was and still is diabolical

pah

No tomb raider makes me sad

Actually the more I think about it, the more I’m tempted to cancel my pre-order. There’s some genuinely awful games in there and given the library they had to pull from, it’s a big let down.

Its a solid line up tbh, im absolutely gobsmacked Tomb raider is not on it though, major WTF..

Syphon filter, the lil gem!

But it is, even if that list isn't perfect either. There's a lot more utter duds on the western list that could be replaced with the much better games Xenji listed.

It's a real missed opportunity either way considering how right Nintendo got it and the library Sony could have pulled from. They were obviously working with Capcom, Namco and Konami and could have pulled far better games. Even their own first party stuff has some crackers they could have included.

It got a few 1/10's

I guess they had Ubisoft on board so had to put another game on there along with rayman.

Not for €100 it's not imo. I wont get into what should or shouldn't have been included but the number of games included on this list that have sequels that improve on the original in every way is baffling

The thing about the SNES mini is that it’s all killer stuff... even the ‘aged’ ones like Star Fox justify their inclusion out of historic value (doubly so Star Fox 2). It’s just a ****load of masterpieces in one tiny box.

This... well, to be frank, if feels like a cheap copy. The selection feels cheap - a few gems mixed in with a considerable amount of filler. The device feels cheap - the lack of analogue controllers proving that. The Japanese model is notably better just due to a stronger selection of games... but I still don’t think it quite justifies its existence in the way Nintendo’s mini consoles do. A shame, because I think putting a bit more effort in and it could have been a properly worthwhile device - hell, even if it cost an extra fifty quid it’d be worth it if the games and controllers justified the premium.

Cancelled my pre order today, for me, other than Tekken 3, Syphon, FFVII and MGS there wasn't much else and I would only be buying it for it to sit on a shelf...

If I ever have the urge to play them games I can emulate on my PC with my PS4 controller if I want, serious collection they could have had on it but I suspect licensing had a lot to do with the poor choices of games....

Didn't scream buy me the way the Nintendo one's did...

Ah i understand yeah, i myself wouldnt buy this, even if it was for €50. But i can understand why they went with the originals, as people who havent played them before would be missing out on a whole prior game.

Theres also alot on it i havent/wouldnt play, but i can respect the choices as it looks like they want to include a game to cover each type of game. A beat em up, racing, puzzle, rpg, action etc

I agree there could be better games included, but some of the best games made for the platform are included like ff7, mgs, tekken and resi. Personally think tomb raider, gran turismo, crash bandicoot, soul reaver, wipeout and a few sports games to name a few should be on there but you are never going to have a list that will suit everyone.

Anyone know how to go about cancelling a Smyth's pre-order?

Well Nintendo managed it with the SNES mini which had not got one dud on the system. The worst was Donkey Kong Country, but even that was a decent platform and iconic to the platform.

The problem here is there are some absolute duds on the list. Rainbow six is just utter garbage, as is Persona which has half the game content cut out and isn't even fun anyway. Battle Arena Toshinden is also god awful. There's a few others that are ok but time hasn't been kind. It's just weird these games are included considering the pool Sony could pull from, not just third parties but its own first party releases.

Have gone ahead and cancelled mine, the lineup is hugely disappointing. Combine this with the likelihood that the PAL games will be the 50Hz versions, and it's a box full of disappointment. My advice is to pick up a Vita TV on any version firmware except the latest one (3.69), and it can very easily become what this should have been (and more!).

That line-up doesn't scream buy me at all, certainly not at the €100 price point. For something which is primarily relying on nostalgia to sell, it doesn't manage to evoke many feelings like that at all, at least not for me.

TerrorFirmer

Not a terrible list, a few you'd question why they didn't chose superior sequels, but...Rainbow Six? Really? Of all the FPS titles on the console, they chose that....

I had trouble cancelling the preorder on their main website but it's very easy to do on their mobile site. Just go into your account, select the order and you'll have the option to cancel.

.G.

Cancelled mine too, was hoping for Medal of Honor and Tomb Raider along with MGS, only got one of them. Would love to play FF7 again too but I just know it'll spend most of its time not in use. I've a massive backlog already!

eyerer

At this stage I'm only interested to see if it can be hacked liked the SNES mini. Not a great list of games imo.

Liam McPoyle

Cancelled my pre order too, pretty crappy list overall.

2Mad2BeMad

5 games in the list I'm interested in not enough to hand over 100quid.
Kinda sad really
They should of just released a ps1 mini again with the list here as well as it been able to take discs or have an online store for it full of ps1 classics
Been restricted to these 20games makes it off putting specially considering it's a disappointing list. I understand not everyone would be happy with the list as it's all personal preference but I don't think I've seen anyone even on reddit say they are happy with it.

earthwormjack

Kinda glad I cancelled my pre-order now.

After reading around it seems some of the games are EU PAL versions, potentially 50hz, which could be crappy. It's also apparently using an open source emulator, PCSX. So seems like a shoddy product so far.

The UI looks awful, like some Chinese multi-game clone. It's got blocky unaliased text & icons. Based on the UI i'd be shocked if it has the PSTV hardware inside. It honestly looks like they farmed the classic out to the lowest bidder.

EltonJohn69

Defiantly concerning......there are some nice games on it though..... i guess it will be worth it if it is hackable....
