The mini console is all the rage these days.

Sony is getting in on the act with its new PlayStation Classic, which comes with 20 preloaded “generation-defining” games, the company announced Tuesday.

The Classic is a miniaturised version of the original PlayStation — 45 percent smaller on the sides to be exact, according to Sony. Some of the preloaded games include Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3 and Wild Arms. All of those games will be playable in their original format, Sony said.

The mini version keeps the look and feel of the original, with the same gamepad and no analog sticks or rumble. Get a good look here:

The original Sony PlayStation console was first introduced in 1994, almost 25 years ago. It was “the first home console in video game history to ship 100 million units worldwide, offering consumers a chance to play games with real-time 3D rendered graphics in their homes for the first time,” Sony said in its release.
