Selective Nostagic PSX Gaming

Selective Nostagic PSX Gaming
So... find this console isn't that bad. I get to enjoy some of the games I grew up with again and the ones I enjoyed are pretty much how I remembered them (Wild Arms, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo). Now the selection of games that come with this device is weird, I would of thought of a few other games instead of the ones included. Where is Legend of Dragoon or 100 of other games that you could of picked instead of some of these selections! I mean, that would of been nice to have! Though, if you do google around a bit, you can figure out how how to resolve the strange game selection, if you choose. Also, why are some of these games running not all running at 60 hz? That's really weird, what you think we wanted more choppiness to our gaming? Who came up with that idea? My favorite thing is the PSX controller, I'm probably one of the few that actually loved the pre-dualshock controllers (Don't hate me), it feels exactly how I remembered them. What's with not including the AC Wall Charger? I know it's probably to cut cost, but I just don't see it adding that much value to just include the entire set up for the device, but I digress.. I suppose everyone has a wall charger lying around somewhere. Overall I find this product pretty great, especially with the price drop. Probably not as much if I got it at the original price though.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great value now that modding has come to the system
    Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2021
    Color: GreyVerified Purchase
    This system comes with 20 pre loaded PS1 games that seem to be chosen randomly, you get a few games of every genre, jrpg, racing, fighting, shooters, kids games, ect. The selection is wide and will probably put you out of your comfort zone, I’ve already discovered a few fun games I’ve never played back in the day. When the system was new, the “only 20 games” complaint was very valid, but you can now buy a modded usb stick with 100+ preloaded ps1 games for around 20$, far cheaper than collecting all the disks. If you’re good with computers you can also download whatever games YOU like and out them on a usb drive and they’ll run on your ps classic with the help of a YouTube tutorial. Adding your favorite games or getting a modded game stick is essential and something you should look into if you finish all the preloaded classic games you enjoyed.

    Came with two controllers that feel high quality and will take you back by simply holding. PS classic was packaged very well, adding to the “quality feel” of this official Sony emulator. You can get knockoff mini systems but they won’t look or feel as nice as this official one.

    I have never before complimented a manufacturer on the way they package their items, may not mean a lot to most manufacturers but Sony is a Japanese company and like toyota they want to express quality everywhere in the product. The ps classic boxes unfold like origami and neatly fold back together if you want to use the box to store your classic/travel with it. When I was opening my PS classic I couldn’t help but think how much money Sony would save in the long run just taping up all these boxes, but rather than deliver lower quality packaging they have a machine or person take the extra time to fold these boxes neatly so they come apart and go back together very nicely. It’s the little things that remind you you have an official item. Good job Sony, I can definitely understand why some people may be dissatisfied with the base 20 games, but it’s a non issue In the current year when you can buy modded sticks here on Amazon for more ps classic games.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2019
    Color: GreyVerified Purchase
    This looks really cool, I had a PS1 on opening day when I was a kid and this is a very very very good replica. The controllers are really nice, no thumbsticks but that can be fixed(read below).

    It get a lot of hate because the included games suck and a lot aren't even the NTSC version, they're the PAL version along with no tumbsticks on the controllers. If you hack the system you get the most up-to-date emulator(this uses a old one by default), you can load it with the entire PS1 library if you want and it will work with a PS3/PS4 controller in wired mode so you get the thumbsticks. I like this over a raspberry pi because the case does look really nice and it is a nice touch to use the open button to switch discs. I would pick this up, especially for the 29.99 price I bought it for, I like it(hacked) more than the Nintendo minis.

    UPDATE: Have played this a ton and works great (hacked) but I've moved back to my pi a bit more and I have to say these are my favorite wired controllers. I might buy a second PS1 Classic just for the controllers. I mainly play retro games and PS1 games I just play the RPGs so I don't really need thumbsticks. It is nice to have 4 of the same controller when playing with friends, right now I have a miss-match but if I had 4 of these controllers it would be a lot better. I hope they're still around Black Friday, maybe I can pick up a second for $19.99. Fingers crossed!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very nostalgic and cool
    Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2020

    I see mixed reviews about this system, but I love it! $60 might be a little steep, but The PlayStation mini was definitely worth the money for me! the console is on the small side but it doesn’t bother me. The controllers are awesome and everything about this system is very nostalgic , yes it only comes with 20 games however if you look on amazon there are game sticks that you can get for this system which will add 100 plus games each !
    My personal favorites are the “true blue minis”

    I’ve played all 20 games that’s actually on the system and I ran them all fine with no problems, resident evil ran very smoothly for me and I used to play it on the original system so I would notice a difference. It played the exact same as the Original. Some people are saying the games are slower or glitchy but I’ve played my system for 2 years with over 300+ games and have not had a single problem yet. Played multiple games with my friends and have had a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend this system for anyone who loves ps1 or old school games. Again I highly recommend getting gamesticks for this system so you can play hundreds of games! You can even buy a usb and get your own games if you know how to do so but I just stick to the preloaded usbs. “True blue minis” are dope. Hope this review helped and have fun!

    Out of the box this product is poor. Luckily Sony left the keys on the doorstep to allow hackers to give this product a true purpose. For A$39 and with a bit of tinkering thanks to the internet you are effectively getting the equivalent of a retropie in a nice Sony mini playstation case that can not only run Playstation games but is a very effective emulator of many earlier platforms and arcade titles thanks to Retroarch. Great value for that price.... feel sorry for anybody who paid full retail price on its release or who has not investigated the modding scene on this device.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia in a small charming package
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2023
    Color: GreyVerified Purchase
    Given the age of this product, I was relived to find it at a reasonable price on Amazon (thanks KVM Trading).

    The selection of games pre-installed could have been better and it's a shame that Sony couldn't have added more games. I'm positive various reasons are the cause for the middling selection: that's not to say however that there aren't good games here!

    Hearing the PS1 start-up sound is great nostalgia! For those that aren't aware this package includes two controllers and is based on the first pre-Dual Shock controllers for the PS1. The cable length is short. There's two workarounds: purchase a M-F USB extension or use a 8Bit-Do USB Wireless Receiver (this is what I've done and now playing PS Classic using a Dual Shock 4 controller). The PS Classic also does not include an AC adapter, so be sure to use a USB Mico B cable you have in the house or purchase one.

    Thanks to folks on the Internet, it's possible to soft mod the system and add your own games to it (which circumvents the pre-installed games to a point).

    Overall I'm chuft with this system. The games on offer deliver a small vertical slice of what the PS1 offered back in the day. It's a great package for people my age (in their 30's) to reminiscence about simpler times and for younger folks to experience some of the games available in the 90's/early 2000's.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Eh bien oui, c'est un très bon achat !!!
    Reviewed in France on July 7, 2019

    Comme le titre le laisse supposer, je vais aller à contre courant de nombreux commentaires ici.
    Pourquoi? Parce que cette Playstation format mini est déjà esthétiquement très réussie, les manettes sont identiques à l'époque, l'ensemble paraît solide.
    Ensuite, oui, j'ai eu cette console à sa sortie en 1995, en précommande même, et à 2490 F si je me souviens bien. Oui, beaucoup de ces jeux ont pris un coup de vieux. Normal, nous en étions aux balbutiements de la 3D, et cela se ressent forcément par exemple sur Toshinden, qui mérite un léger coup d'oeil, mais qui s'avère être injouable aujourd'hui. Pour autant, un Tekken 3 est tout à fait correct et a énormément plu à mes enfants.
    Voila pourquoi on achète une "Mini", pour le côté esthètique (j'ai également une SNES mini), et pour reprendre, de temps à autres quelques parties. Alors, je rejoins la majorité sur le fait qu'il manque Tomb Raider notamment, je suis moins persuadé pour Gran Turismo qui a quand même pris d'énormes claques depuis. Nul n'est parfait, mais il existe de nombreuses possibilités, faciles, pour "upgrader" l'ensemble...
    Alors, pour ceux qui discutaillent sur les versions 50/60Hz, le côté non traduit... Oui, okokok... Euh... On parle d'une console qui est sortie il y a 25 ans !! C'est comme rechercher un ABS sur une Austin Mini de 1977...
    Alors, voila, comme la Mini, elle n'est pas parfaite, elle sent l'huile et l'essence, on se dit que ça aurait quand même pu être mieux fait... Mais moi je suis très content d'avoir at home ce pan de l'histoire du jeu vidéo... Et à 29 Euros... What else???
