Feels good knowing I won't potentially be fucking in the ass on release day now
>>
>>382010101
/v/ will tell you no games

The truth is that pitiful state of PS and Xbox emulation. And no games
>>
They'd have to pay licensing out the ass because nobody cares about their first parties.


MS did what they could with the Rare collection thing.
>>
>>382010101
Microsoft would have to make the emulator themselves. Don't know about ps1

They have these amazing things called PS1 Classics and Backwards compatibility.
>>
>>382010101
I'd jizz over a psx classic
>>
>>382010524
I also live in the US and preordered the UK version. I still plan on getting the US version though.
>>
>>382010531
>PS1 Classics and Backwards compatibility.
not anymore.
>>
>>382010101
The nostalgia for PS1/OG XBOX is in no way comparable to Nintendo consoles.

And in case of PS1 the most loved games (FFVII, Crash, Spyro) are all not owned by Sony.
>>
>>382010684

I want to try and hunt one down if I can but since the list is exactly the same and the EU version does look a little better, I don't think it will matter.

I didn't give a shit about the NES Classic, just saw the dumpster fire that was the stocking issue for it and turned away but hopefully, even if this is limited till holidays are over, Nintendo really pulls through on this one
>>
>>382010101
OG Xbox is still too old enough to emulate with a simple arm box at a reasonable price.
PS1 classic would never happen cause Sony are fucks who've decided nobody wants it and would much rather sell you remasters of everything again.
>>
>>382010101
You all are stupid for being hype about this shit
>>
>>382010757
Xbox has backwards compatibility
>>
>>382010101
PS Mini would include which exclusives? Weren't most of them developed by non-Sony studious, and the properties belong to different people, meaning it probably isn't worth it?
>>
>>382010994

A blooo bloo blooo people like something I don't waaa waaa
>>
>>382010935
While I agree the EU version looks better, the US version is the one I grew up with so there is a bit of the nostalgia factor for me. I'm not too concerned about the list of games, because I know i'll just end up hacking it like I did my NES Classic.

-xbox mini would require decent hardware, and it's not guaranteed that it would be worth the effort. what might work is a 360 handheld, that is connected to xlive and allows players to download and play digital games.

-ps2 mini might be a good idea, and I actually made the suggestion not too long ago that they should release something similar to the playstation tv, that runs ps2, psx and psp games that are downloaded from their PS store.
>>
>>382010757
PS3 plays PS1-3, it's only PS4 that stopped it. Now instead of backwards compatibility we just get remasters and 'HD collections'
>>
>>382010101
The same reason I don't think we'll see a N64 mini: early 3D games haven't aged well at all. Besides the obvious graphic differences, since they were the first of their kind, controllers were either experimental as hell or suck for nowadays standards.
>>
>>382011338
>PS3 plays PS1-3
I'm fairly certain that not every ps3 is capable of this.
>>
Because nintenratards could be crying all the time "Muh Sony copy everything REEEEEEE"

Also a ps1 classic is a aweosme idea:

Mini ps1 with a dualshock:

-Ape escape
-Soul of river
-Tekken 3
-A shit of jrpg from squaresoft
-Medievil
-Crash team racing
-Dino crisis
-Castlevania SotN
-Tenchu
-Twisted metal
-Tony hawk 2
-Etc
>>
>>382010101
Because MS and sony doesn't have thirty years of nostalgia they can put in a little box and sell and have people literally tripping over themselves to buy.

And yes, I'm getting one too provided I can beat the scalper rush.
>>
>>382011338
The PS3 alreadys stopped PS2 backwards compability because they already started selling PS2 game remasters back then.
>>
>>382011571
Only the Original FAT PS3 luckily I have mine and it still works perfectly.
>>
>>382010101

Xbox has backwards compatibility.

Sony just fucking sucks.
>>
>>382011592
damn, was the ps1 that awful?
>>
>>382011592
>"Muh Sony copy everything REEEEEEE"
lmao as if that would be enough to stop the greedy rats at Sony
>>
>>382010101
because their consumers aren't AS stupid as Nintendo's.

XBone already allows users to play XB and 360 games through their streaming service, and PSN on PS3 has PS2 and PS games. Also, PS3 is backwards compatible all the way back. And PS2 and PSP can play PS games.
>>
>>382011764
> PS3 is backwards compatible all the way back
that is such an incredibly insincere statement.
its like saying that PS3 offers otherOS.
>>
>>382011592
How many of those are Sony IPs? I think if they had to pay over publishers/devs to use games they own on it, it's less likely you'd see it.

Better than n64 my gordo amigo

that's not a stellar lineup, anon.
I hate everything the SNES mini is, but at least the games are top of the line.
>>
>>382011441
N64 is also a bitch to emulate properly, even now.
Heck devs don't even fully understand how the damn n64 works, with games like dk64 and conkers bad fur day being broken and wont play unless it uses the expansion pack for some reason that they don't know.
>>
>>382011620
You can't, you retard. This is literally scalelper bait, don't buy it. How many times are you goung to rebuy the same fucking games. Boycott Nintendo for that fake scarcity bullshit
>>
>>382011943
Yeah I have this one.
Doesnt play PS2 games.

It also died.
Thanks Sony.

Because only nintentards are dumb enough to pay for the same game for the 13454 time.

i just dont fucking get it.
collections like rare replay, ratchet and clank collection, sly collection, etc is basically the same thing but when stuff like that comes out, everyone fucking cries and bitches.

Xbox had some great games, but probably not enough to justify, and honestly they wouldn't pick the ones that would like NGB, JSRF and Otogi.

PS1 you could do though, don't know how expensive it'd be. Also PS1 games wouldn't sell on mass because people are allergic to early 3D. Not that there weren't great sprite games, but you've got to do some of both.

Are you asking why SONY AND MICROSOFT don't make machines that emulate their THIRD AND FOURTH CONSOLE GENERATION consoles?

I mean, technically you could say they have.
>>
>>382010289
DoAX seems like the obvious title to include.
>>
Size i guess?
You can fit thouands of NES/SNES games on a small SD card, but PS1 games range from 100-500mb to multiple gb
>>
I wasn't interested at all with the NES Classic, but I might pick one up if I come across one in the store (I passed up on the NES) and resell it.

I honestly hate scalping, but Nintendo fags have been screwing themselves over and over by still following every Nintendo hype. Anyone who thinks Nintendo will get their shit together and provide a proper amount of stock, is retarded.

Because Sony hates old games, they don't see a point in playing them again. MS wants you to buy an Xbone to play older games. Nintendo wants to reward scalpers by releasing 10 SNES classics.

Atari is our only hope

Cherish it until it dies. It's going to happen any minute.

They don't have valuable IPs almost at all.

Doesn't Nintendo's SNES mini include Capcom games like Megaman and Street Fighter?
>>
>>382017246

Good man. The US snes looks like utter crap. And the uk one has the 60hz versions of the games so those ntsc faggots can fuck off now

Sony and MS want future technology

not resting on laurels and putting franchises on indefinite life support

99€ on german amazon
NANI??
>>
>>382017357
Yeah, but most of the games on that list are owned by Nintendo, and happen to be some of the best games on it the SNES, save for no Chrono Trigger.

Try making a 21-game list of Xbox and PS1 classics full of mostly first party games and see if it doesn't feel lacking.

4th gen games vs. 6th gen games, still manages to list games that are worse than the SNES ones
