    Things have been a bit quiet on the PSOne Classics front since the announcement that they would be made available on the Vita at E3. Sony has now officially announced the firmware 1.8, which is the next major firmware release, will include support for the first slew of PSOne classics on the Vita.

    The bad news, as mentioned during E3, is that all PSOne Classics will not become available right out of the gates. Rather, support will be rolled out a few games at a time, with the initial release expecting to consist of at least Tomb Raider, Wild Arms, Jet Moto, Twisted Metal 2, Final Fantasy 7, Arc the Lad, and likely some others as well.

    The good news is that if you've already purchased them, you won't have to do so again. You only need to buy each classic on one system to play it on all the systems it's available on.

    i agree with you 98% ... i shall tell you why haha ... i DEF. want new games ... hopefully they come out with what I want haha ::crosses fingers:: but in the meantime .. we have all grown to love our classics .... i kid you not ... i just recently put the snes emulator on my slim psp and i swear i spent hours alone playing my favorites on that .... don't get me wrong i would rather be blasting away through a beautiful amazing game on the vita .. but for now we all need alittle assurance that at least we have something to pass up the time till we can see this fricking thing shine

    I am going to buy Spyro 1,2 and 3 instantly. And maybe Crash Bandicoot 2 and Warped. God I love those games.
