    Yeah, forgot to add Crash to the list. I read somewhere else that not including it would be like the mini NES not having a SMB game.

    I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from buying this or any of the retro consoles. There were a few titles I would've liked to play again and might've bothered picking this up for and they weren't on the list. It missed me, looks like it might hit some other folks though.

    I’m putting the omission of Crash and Spyro down to the remasters being on the market - Activision wouldn’t want to dilute their existence.

    And any game with licensed content such as Tony Hawk is an automatic strike, unfortunately. I’d love to see the original Wip3out on there but the music would nix that one too.

    This connects to the micro-console via USB. Powered by a mobile ARM chipset, the PlayStation Classic doesn't require much juice - you can power it using a micro USB phone charger, which is just as well as weirdly, there is no power adapter in the box. This is actually something of an issue as the unit is a little fussy about where it's plugged in - hooking it up to a USB 3.0 port on a PC didn't work, while plugging it into an HDTV was fine.
    What the what?

    Framerate discrepancies and performance issues apparently cause a lot of stuttering as well.

    Yep, the hardware will be sweet but the software seems to be lacking.

    Oh well, the mod scene will fix that, I’d bet within a week we’ll have this thing cracked and playing games much better.
