What games would you want for a PS1 Mini?

If sony could put together a PS1 Mini what would you wanna see on it?

• Metal Gear Solid
• Final Fantasy VII
• Final Fantasy Tactics
• Gran Turismo
• Tomb Raider
• Crash Bandicoot
• Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
• Dragonquest VII
• Tekken 3
• Mortal Kombat Trilogy
• Resident Evil 2
• Silent Hill
• Dance Dance Revolution
• Star Ocean Second Story
• Megaman X4
• Xenogears
• Final Fantasy IX
• Grand Theft Auto 2
• Street Fighter Alpha 3
• Metal Gear Solid VR Mission's

Honestly the NES and SNES Mini's are more exciting since I don't think I owned 20 ps1 games. I owned quite a bit more atari/ NES/ SNES games. So a ps1 mini would be kinda meh to me. Did I miss any good ps1 games these seem like the best I could come up with.

I can buy a few of those for my vita so just get me MGS already Sony. If they make a PS1 mini they are shameless.

Why a mini?

Don't they release some of them on PS4 to buy? Or are those not the same thing?

@ProtossRushX:

Crash 1, 2 and 3

Tomb Raider 2

Metal Gear Solid

Final Fantasy VII

Street Fighter Alpha 2

Gan Turismo

Twisted Metal 1 and 2

Silent Hill

Resident Evil 2

Shadow Man (if possible)

Tekken 2

Ridge Racer

Jet Moto 2

Gex 2

I still have around 50 PS1 games so no need for a mini.

Don't want one. Wouldn't want an NES or SNES mini either if they released those Ninty titles on a virtual console on the switch.

I'm not too keen on these mini's, even though the NES and especially the SNES have plenty of games I still enjoy playing. They're just too limited, there are better ways to go about enjoying those systems libraries.

But a PS1 mini is an instant anti-buy for me lol. PS1 was my favorite console of gen 5, but there are very few games from its library that I care to revisit. Most of its games are pretty damn rough, and a lot of the good ones got plenty of iterative sequels that greatly improved on their formula, making them straight up redundant/obsolete.

And the few PS1 games that are worth playing are already available for download on modern systems.

Not saying a PS1 mini wouldn't do well, but for me it would only be a nostalgia buy, which isn't enough.

And shame on you for not having SotN listed in the OP.

@lrdfancypants: product they can knock together cheap and sell cheap, people will buy it and it will make money that's why.

I don't own ps4 to buy downloadable ps4 games, but I would buy a ps1 mini if it had enough good games on it and if the price point is cheap.

lmao.. rather have backwards compatibility

Yep. Many gen 5 games are straight up unplayable these days lol.

Uh, Sony has a way less shitty way of distributing really cool ps1 games these days, it's called selling them digitally, to your account, that you own across multiple devices.

Unlike the virtual console, where it doesn't really fucking matter if you bought Super Metroid on the Wii. You still need to buy it on the WiiU n 3DS separately. And I'm going to go out on a limb that's how The Switch will work as well. And I'm sure some shit heel, corporate apologist, Nintendo cum guzzler is going to say that is perfectly cool thing for Nintendo to do.

@Juub1990:

Yup, I loved the N64 and the PS1, was an awesome time to be gaming with all the new ideas being thrown around, but meh. They just don't hold up.

Funny thing is, in hindsight, I'd probably rather have the Saturn library if I had to choose a gen 5 console.

-

This would be the only redeeming factor of owning a PS1 mini.

@jg4xchamp: They haven't even confirmed whether or not we could buy these games. Just that NES games will be available to us if we give them $20 for their Online service.

Besides, why wait for a PS1 mini when one could just get a Vita TV and buy all the PS1 games you can on it?

Games Inbox: Mini PlayStation 1 ideas, noisy PS4 fans, and Bayonetta 3 hopes."The morning Inbox is still struggling to understand Nintendo’s plan for the Mini SNES, as another reader looks to sell his PlayStation VR".

Yeah Nintendo repping Jabroni life as a hardware maker/service provider.

I don't plan on doing either a PS1 mini or vita TV, I could just play them on the PS3 at this point. It has BC for PS1 n PS2. Plus again the digital space if I want to buy games. Even the PS4 is getting some healthier additions.

@jg4xchamp: I only suggested a PSVita TV because it's like $50.

but yeah if you have a PS3 there's no reason for you to even consider a PS1 mini.

how about a mini-PS3 will full PS1/PS2 BC instead?

Ps1/n64 era is really hard for me to revisit. Those early 3d graphics destroy my eyes lol. The snes mini I actually might buy if they are in stock.

@thehig1:

I guess I just don't have any nostalgia tie to something like this.

I wanted the NES but I was a kid when it released. I don't care about the SNES either. NES is what I think of when I think Nintendo.

The actually mini version of a console is actually a huge factor for me. PS1 really doesn't look all that much to be honest, so I'm not sure if I want mini version of it. Same goes for N64. SFC, on the other hand, do want.

I want a gamecube mini

Yes, it would be the cutest thing ever !!!

I hope Nintendo continues this line of Minis

Castlevania Symphony of the Night should be there too, it was the reason why I had purchased a PS1 back then, game launched on that system. Not really interested in these mini systems anyways.....I was initially, but now I think after some time it would become clutter in my room

• Mega Man X3, X4, X5, 8
• Mega Man Legends 1 & 2
• The Misadventures of Tron Bonne
• SOTN
• Omega Boost
• Strider 2
• Thunder Force V
• FFVII
• Chrono Cross
• Gundam Battle Assault 2
• Klonoa
• Front Mission 3
• Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness
• Street Fighter Alpha 2 & 3
• Dark Stalkers
• Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter

Some of these have better arcade or Saturn versions, but this is just a for fun list.

There already was a PS1 mini.

Main reason I still have my PS3 is that it lets me play the odd PS1 game that I still have on disc and still have a mild inclination to play. For the most part, most PS1 games have been improved upon with newer systems

I'm gonna go with 30 games. Not all are games I'd personally want, but I'm thinking more of what I feel would be a good representation of the PS1 all around.

1. Ape Escape
2. Breath of Fire 4
3. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
4. Chrono Cross
5. Crash Bandicoot
6. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
7. Crash Bandicoot Warped
8. Crash Team Racing
9. Dino Crisis 2
10. Final Fantasy VII
11. Final Fantasy IX
12. Final Fantasy Tactics
13. Grand Theft Auto 2
14. Gran Turismo 2
15. Klonoa
16. Metal Gear Solid
17. Parappa the Rapper
18. Rayman
19. Rayman 2
20. Resident Evil 2
21. Roll Away/Kula World
22. Silent Hill
23. Soul Reaver
24. Spyro the Dragon
25. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
26. Spyro: Year of the Dragon
27. Super Puzzle Fighter II
28. Tekken 3
29. Tomb Raider II
30. Wipeout 3 Special Edition

Great list! Would buy

A lot of you guys are missing the appeal of these mini systems.

The appeal to many people is about more than just being able to play the games; there are a lot of other options to be able to do that if that is all that you care about. A large part of the appeal is also the nostalgic design of the system looking just like a cool miniature version of a console that we love and have many fond memories of as well as being able to play it with an authentic controller that is just like the controller that we originally played these games with.

That's why the NES Mini sold like hotcakes while the Genesis Mini that has been around for years but was just an ugly piece of plastic that did not look anything like the real Sega Genesis did not. They have now finally learned their lesson after seeing the success of the NES Mini and will now be redesigning this year's new version to look like a real Sega Genesis. And because of the redesign, I will finally buy one.

So it doesn't matter if the Vita TV can play PS1 games since the Vita TV doesn't look like a PS1 and you can't use PS1 controllers on it. That kills part of the nostalgia and coolness; therefore a lot of people, like myself, who would be interested in a PS1 Mini have absolutely no interest in a Vita TV. The Vita TV had embarrassing sales even though it could play PS1 games for cheap, but I guarantee a PS1 Mini would sell like hotcakes just like the NES Mini and the biggest reason is because of the nostalgic design.

Well that "mini" would need a 10gb hardrive from the game on op list.

Which is why i laughed at this threads.

Cows claim no one wants BC, yet are willing to be milked for a basic emulator.

GOT EM

I don't want these mini systems. Better just Sony makes all PS1-PS2-PS3 games available on the PSN store. Don't give Sony lame ideas.

@ProtossRushX: driver 2

Spyro

Crash

Need for speed 3 hot pursuit

Crash 2

Spyro 2

Nfs.2

Tomb raider

Driver

Gta

Mgs

Ff7

Spyro 3

Crash 3

Twisted metal 2 and 3

From a technical point of view:

1. Games to have high texture filtering and super sample AA

2. No load times

3. Option to have some games tweaked i.e - Better draw distances and less LOD transfers

4. Games to be given a widescreen update

5,. Games that use pre-rendered back grounds (Like the Resi Games) to have them completely re-done so they don't look like ass at HD resolutions.

@lrdfancypants: not the same thing. Ps1 games on ps4 are scarce

True. But it's missing Jet Moto.

Krazy Ivan.

But a mini sega with master system, genesis, cd, Saturn games would be nice. 100 total games.

yep.

Awwh yeah Star Ocean The Second Story, love that game :3

Good call on those games.

Do older PlayStation games have the same value among gamers than games released on older Nintendo systems?
