We Really Want FIFA 99 To Be One Of The 20 Games On The Classic PS1 Reboot

We Really Want FIFA 99 To Be One Of The 20 Games On The Classic PS1 Reboot

It has to happen, surely?

In big news for gaming fans and those who live for a nostalgia trip, Sony have unveiled the PlayStation Classic, which is basically a rework of the PS1 that gave us so many memories back in the day.

The PlayStation Classic, which is 45% of its original size thanks to games being pre-loaded onto the console will come with 20 iconic games, although only five have been revealed so far. Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms are set to make a return.

It hits stores across US, Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia on 3 December (available for pre-order now) and costs £89.99/€99.99/$99.99 depending on where you are in the world.

We're already well onboard the PS Classic hype train but what we really, really want is for one of the games to be football-based - preferably FIFA 99.

Arsenal talisman Dennis Bergkamp was on the front cover of the game and though its gameplay and graphics are a million miles away from what we're used to these days, you just can't beat that special retro feel it has.

We really hope FIFA 99 is pre-loaded onto the console but will be content if just one of the many iconic football games get a look-in.


FIFA 97 allowed you to play on an indoor pitch, FIFA 98 let you play out the entire World Cup tournament and four years prior to that we had FIFA 94, where you could literally run away from the referee.
