Re: Playstation Classic -- With 20 preloaded games
But if people really wanted to play these old games on the original consoles, there wouldn't be a market for these "classic" or "mini" consoles and people would be buying them up on Ebay already.
I'd think a consumer likes the idea of a one stop, easy to use shop for playing a bunch of old games they knew and loved, so the price tag is worth it. As someone that bought the NES and SNES, and might keep a preorder for this, I don't want to bid or look for games i want to play, deal with cartridges/discs, memory cards, video inputs, etc.
I'm a "core" gamer and don't want to deal with that stuff, so I can only imagine the average consumer doesn't want to either.

But I dunno, I'm not really that nostalgic for Ps 1 games because like I said before, the ones most likely to be on the system have been regularly available digitally for some time now.

I was a N64 guy so I'm not all that nostalgic for a PS1. But as far as this generation goes I agree with fujishig:
Not only that, but some of the most popular ones had remakes and remasters along the way already. Outside of Zelda and Mario 64, Nintendo has ignored the N64 library since its demise. There's more of an attraction there to revisit the N64 library because of that(of course a LARGE chunk of the best games left with Rare).
No matter which system you preferred though, I imagine the early days of 3D gaming are not going to look so hot on HD/4k tvs.

It pretty much HAS to have that 2.5D platformer Pandemonium.

You know, I wouldn't be shocked to see the PSX port of Doom make it. Although it was a couple of years after the PC version, it was the first decent console port for a system people actually bought. It fits the theme of appealing to nostalgia for the general era, like how the NES Classic had ports of Donkey Kong and Pac-Man.

I could see MediEvil maybe. PS1, Sony exclusive, rated Teen.
Looking that up, I see a PS4 remaster in 4k is coming, so maybe not.

For $100 I don’t see why they couldn’t include one. At least you can get them pretty cheap though if you don’t already have a spare one lying around.

It's weird if they didn't include a power adapter, although Nintendo has also done that before on a 3DS XL.

Apparently in Japan it's normal. Looks like the practice is making it's way here. I'm guessing most people have a few spare around anyway.

The 3DS is different as it’s a unique plug that goes into the actual handheld. Even if you had a DS prior to the 3DS the plug was different. I’m sure the PlayStation Classic is just a normal USB.
