I'm used to the Genesis port, so that Virtua Racing screenshot looks great to me. These were some of the first 3D models of people in a videogame, to my knowledge. Definitely interested to hear about all the bonuses they come up with for those different games.

So, Night Slashers officially drops on the 8th. You get a small discount if you pre-purchase, which I did.
What's cool is that BreakThru appears on the eShop that same day. I've always enjoyed this game, but have only owned the C64 port for years now, and that one is less than enjoyable.

The final list of games on the Playstation Classic look kind of rubbish to me. I think they just announced the first best titles last month to soften the blow of great hits like Battle Arena Toshinden.

Also, interestingly, Sony went with PCSX-ReArmed for their emulation solution.

I think they just announced the first best titles last month to soften the blow of great hits like Battle Arena Toshinden. It's a disappointing list, to be sure. If the device is easy to hack and load your own ISOs, I might consider biting for the scaled HDMI output. Providing the scaling is worth a damn.

There is something to be said for a "set it and forget it" device. While it took some doing to get the SNES Classic hacked, it's pretty sweet as an official plug-and-play device. The PS Classic will have to include a lot more storage by default, too, so there's a value proposition there if it can be hacked. I'm guessing it might be using a Linux build in the background, as the SNES Classic does.

Having an all in one gimmick box is cute, if the price and functionality is right. But I can always just use a micro-PC hooked up to my HDTV to run ePSXe and scale PS1 games correctly to the native resolution. That same micro-PC can also run every other emulator I'd want as well, further mitigating the need for proprietary novelties like the SNES Classic or NES Classic. But most folks don't have the technical knowledge base to setup a micro-PC in that fashion, so I understand why these things sell.

I've thought about buying a micro-PC myself. But I'm also looking at buying a new desktop here pretty soon, so I'd likely move my current laptop in as a streaming/emulation box. I've got $400 worth of Amazon credit coming my way through my credit card rewards, so hopefully it'll get here by Black Friday/Cyber Monday so I can maybe take advantage of some deals. I'd like to get a machine with a really nice card, like a 1080 or maybe a 2070. (Those are pretty much identical, although the new 2070s have the raytracing stuff that nobody knows yet whether it's worth it.)

I play all my PSX games on the PS3, ALL PS3 models play PSX games flawlessly. Some people out there still don't know this, later models removed PS2 emulation, but never PSX. There's also memory card converters out there to get your saves on the HDD, then you've got nearly infinite space for virtual memory cards and backups. I also like the smoothing feature in some cases. Then you've got access to hundreds of PSX games on the PSN store. ALL PS2's play PSX games, with faster loading if you enable that. Pointless is an understatement for the Playstation Classic to me.
Since I got into the PSX a bit late and finally had access to those games myself when the PS2 dropped, I've never once owned an original model and have never seen any reason to.
I do like those classic non-analog controller variants though.
