This will not do, as Chrono Trigger would make for a perfect PS1 port as part of PS Plus Premium.

They’ve even ported Chrono Cross, the iconic dimension hopping RPG that’s earned fans the world over, but the previous game, Chrono Trigger, has ironically been lost to time.

Square Enix have already channelled as much nostalgia from the PS1 era as they can, porting most Final Fantasy games and, in one case, completely remaking it for a new audience.

It’s tense, visceral, and still worth playing in 2022. In Bushido Blade’s fights, death could come from one swift blow, or from a thousand cuts as precise strikes disable a fighter’s limbs. Two fighters pick weapons and are dropped into an arena, several of which are quite expansive in comparison to regular 3D fighters. While the two games have some key differences, as the sequel offers more in the way of features, the core premise remains the same. Both the original game and its sequel deserve another life as part of PS Plus Premium. Sure, there have been games that have tried to go for a similar vibe, with the Deadliest Warrior tie-in games being a notable example, but none have really had the same impact as Bushido Blade. With a vault unlike any other, we’ve put together a list of the 10 biggest PS1 games we’d like to see given another chance to shine as part of PS Plus Premium.įor tense, nail-biting swordplay and combat, Bushido Blade is absolutely unrivalled, so it’s shocking that there hasn’t really been another game like it ever since. One area where PlayStation might have made a misstep in recent years is their lack of commitment to backwards compatibility, and while they’re not exactly committing to players being able to put their old PlayStation discs to use, PlayStation Plus Premium is promising a healthy support of retro games, including PS1 games.įortunately, there’s a healthy dose of nostalgia to be mined from the PlayStation back catalogue, with hundreds of games launching on the PS1 that could be brought to PlayStation Plus Premium for a whole new generation of players to enjoy.
