The new PlayStation Plus launched in Australia this morning and with it brought a bunch of new PlayStation Classics such as Ape Escape, Syphon Filter, Tekken 2, Toy Story 2 and Resident Evil Director’s Cut to name a few.
If you’re not wanting to subscribe to the new PlayStation Plus then all of these PS1/PS2/PSP Classics are available to purchase separately for $14.95. If you had purchased these games previously on PS3/PSP digitally, you should have access to them for free, even if you’re not subscribed to the new PlayStation Plus.
Unfortunately, as expected, these games run in the inferior PAL mode instead of NTSC, which is to be expected given we’ve always had games run in PAL, but there was a little hope after the US PlayStation Plus added the NTSC versions of these games.
So far the list includes:
- Ape Escape (PS1)
- Disney PIXAR Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue (PS1)
- Hot Shots Golf (PS1)
- IQ: Intelligent Qube (PS1)
- Kukushi (PS1)
- Forbidden Siren (PS2)
- Jumping Flash! (PS1)
- Mr. Driller (PS1)
- Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee (PS1)
- Resident Evil: Director’s Cut (PS1)
- Syphon Filter (PS1)
- Tekken 2 (PS1)
- Wild Arms (PS1)
- Worms Armageddon (PS1)
- Worms World Party (PS1)
- Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (PS2)
- Jak II (PS2)
- Jak 3 (PS2)
- Jak X: Combat Racing (PS2)
- Echochrome (PSP)
Just as a reminder, these games include new features such as different display options, the ability to rewind and some even include trophies including a platinum.
