Nintendo must be pissed.
If this comes with at least one Crash Bandicoot, Abe's odessey, a Tomb Raider and like Spiro or croc or something, then I will absolutely buy this!
I wouldn't be surprised if initial hype resell is above $100 but it will probably cool to right around that price when all said and done.
Man... collector in me feels compelled to buy it but it doesn't seem that attractive at $100 based on the 5 titles they mention here. Part of the beauty of the NES / SNES classic are some titles that are easy to pick up, play and save your progress. FFVII isn't a pick up and play title and the other 4 aren't studs in my eyes.

Well, you know, we're dealing with a normal company here so there might be actual supply I'm sure people will get their resales in just before Xmas.
Too expensive for me I think on the games listed above unless they really come out with some big titles on the back end of the list. I agree about the pick up and play thing.. might be less interesting. I'm still interested to see it cracked. Also wonder if this will prompt a 64 mini release. 2018 console war.
Maybe it's a 'cash grab' or copying Nintendo, or whatever bad things people are saying about it - but it's a cool little throwback device that I don't have super high expectations for. I will sell a couple things I have sitting around collecting dust so that I can buy it, and it will be fun to play around with.
I'm pretty excited about this, and I even have most of those games and probably some of the others that will be on it. But I still like it

If anything I am hoping this Device will offer better Emulation than the PS3 can.
If they did this right and introduced people to titles they didn't know were on the ps1 they would do well..
That's the exact opposite of how stuff like this works. Their target audience is the person who hasn't played PS1 in many years and feels nostalgia for the games they REMEMBER. The people like you or even me who only want the obscure games make up way to small of a market to turn a profit.
In this case, the 5 PS1 titles announced so far are worth about $40...
This is a hard pass for me unless some of the next 15 games are Castlevanias, uncommon RPGs, RE, etc... I feel like they would have announced those games already if they were going to be included though.
Metal gear Solid, SotN, Resident Evil, FF Tactics, Vagrant Story, Parappa, Tony Hawk, Silent Hill, Oddworld, Twisted Metal 2, IQ, Grandia

Brilliant! I wonder where they came up with such an original idea? Even the name is inspiring for it's creativity!
I honestly thought it was a prank this morning because the general presentation was so on point to what Nintendo did. But after thinking about it, I realized that's pretty much on par for Sony. Reglardless, I'm getting one.
There sure are a lot of people complaining about missing games despite the fact that the game list hasn't been announced yet.....
Do you announce A++ titles to build hype or do you announce garbage and save A++ titles for later? Sure, maybe a couple of good ones crop up but no way that 15 out of 15 are stud titles.
It's just a poorly hyped release that some people are going to rush out and reserve because they fall for the hype. From a pure value perspective this offers much less value than the NES / SNES systems that were out at lower points.

Right, I get that, but playstation position is different than Nintendo's was in releasing their plug and plays. NES and SNES graphics aged better than the N64 or PS1. Playstation has the playstation network which offer easy access to ps1 titles. Playstation games havent appreciated in value the same as Nintendo. Remastered versions are available for some of the PS1 IP'S. And PS1 graphics are somewhat compatible with modern tv's. Playstation needs a different marketing strategy.

I collect figures and see it mostly as just that. The fact that it plays games is a side bonus that I'll likely not even take advantage of. I'll be more than happy to have a little PlayStation on my PlayStation shelf. The price is a tad much, but I've spent the same on a number of figures, and base my personal value for these things on how much I like the source material.

None of that changes the fact that people are specifically complaining about lack of titles for a system that hasn't released a game list yet. Most people just enjoy complaining.
