Those original PlayStation games have not aged well and the nostalgia for the actual games, and not the idea of the games, doesn’t seem to be there like its with the NES and SNES.

I kind of agree that old 3d graphics do not age well at all. The gameplay is as good as it ever was, though.

The compromise for me which makes it work out well is since it’s basically the same hardware, I can download or rip ISO’s of PS1 games and put them on my PSP for when I am traveling. That PSP can hook up to an HDTV in a pinch.

This way, you don’t have to deal with the watered down versions of console games on mobile platforms. You can play actual console games.

Note that they also say “similar” controller. One of the great things about the SNES Classic (I don’t have the other one) was how exactly they reproduced the original controller. It wasn’t just some gamepad, it was the gamepad. It’s amazing how muscle memory lasts.
