It would’ve been nice to have a bunch of PSOne Classics readily available to play on the Vita, especially when the handheld is having a bit of a drought of new games. That didn’t happen, unfortunately, when the Vita update v.1.80 went live earlier this week. Sure, it brought PSOne Classics support to the handheld, but not all games were compatible with the Vita and only nine games –yeah, nine of them– were available on the PlayStation Store. The European PS Store had over 100 titles! There was also a workaround to get the PSOne Classics not available on the Store to play on the Vita.
Luckily, Sony is reacting to the backlash by making more PS One Classics available. Sony’s Morgan Haro has revealed that the following games are now up on the Vita’s PlayStation Store:
- Alundra
- Arc the Lad II
- Championship Bass
- Extreme Pinball
- Grandia
- Hi Octane: The Track Fights Back
- Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
- Magic Carpet
- Medal of Honor
- Medal of Honor Underground
- Nuclear Strike
- Oddworld Abe’s Exxodus
- Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee
- Populous-The Beginning
- R4 Ridge Racer Type 4
- Rayman 1
- Rayman2
- SimCity 2000
- Soviet Strike
- Tekken
- Tekken 2
- Theme Hospital
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six
- Tomba!
- Vanguard Bandits
- Wing Commander IV
Here’s hoping the next batch isn’t too far along.
