Toad vs. Chode

And in video game news today...



...er, maybe it's better you don't know.

One thing you should know is that Sony's taking a swing at the mini-machine market, releasing the Playstation Classic at the end of the year for about a hundred dollars. There's no word on what games will be included or what hardware it will use (hell, maybe Sony just threw their unsold Playstation TVs into a spiffy new shell), but consider me intrigued. 

EDIT: Guess I jumped the gun on this post! We DO know that the Playstation Classic will contain twenty games, including Jumping Flash, Rrrrrridge Racer, Tekken 3, and Final Fantasy VII. Seems pretty Namco and Square heavy, but then again, so was the original console, so it fits.

I suspect we'll also be seeing Tomb Raider, WipeOut, and Medieval in this machine, since those games helped define the Playstation experience in the late 1990s, and because Sony or one of the third parties already contributing to the PS Classic owns the rights to the IP. I would like to see Bloody Roar 2, Intelligent Qube, and Street Fighter Alpha 3 included with this system, but while I'm dreaming, I might as well ask for a unicorn.
