Just as Nintendo did with its mini consoles, Sony considered changing part of the library included on the PlayStation Classic sold in the West and East. The change was mainly due to the different target audiences in each country. Unlike Nintendo, however, Sony decided not to change the console's appearance.

The games present in both versions of PlayStation Classic are: Ridge Racer Type 4, Intelligent Qube, Jumping Flash, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Tekken 3, Battle Arena Toshinden, Resident Evil Director's Cut, Final Fantasy VII, Mr. Driller, Revelations: Persona, Metal Gear Solid, and Wild Arms.

Here are the games exclusive to the Japanese version:

  • Arc the Lad
  • Arc the Lad 2
  • Armored Core
  • Gradius Gaiden
  • XI [sai]
  • SaGa Frontier
  • G Darius
  • Parasite Eve

We can see the presence of RPG and shoot-'em-up games, both of which were successful with Japanese audiences.

Here are the games exclusive to the American version:

  • Cool Boarders 2
  • Destruction Derby
  • Grand Theft Auto
  • Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
  • Rayman
  • Syphon Filter
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
  • Twisted Metal

Among the games we did not yet know would be released for PlayStation Classic, the one that makes us most envious is the excellent Parasite Eve. On the other hand, we will have GTA and Rayman among the exclusive games.

Check out the trailer listing all games released with the American model.
