The full lineup of '90s classics has been unveiled.

Sony has revealed all 20 games that'll come on the PlayStation Classic, as it gears up for the Dec. 3 release.

We got a sampling of the classic '90s games when the $100 retro mini console was announced last month, but Sony announced a full list in a blog post on Monday:

The PlayStation Classic is 45 percent smaller than the original 1994 console. It comes with an HDMI cable, two wired non-DualShock controllers and a USB power cord, but no AC adapter. If you're feeling nostalgic for a simpler era of gaming, get yours preordered before it sells out.

In Japan, there will be a slightly different set of games, as highlighted by the PlayStation Japan blog. For the Japanese versions, these titles -- Cool Boarders 2, Destruction Derby, Grand Theft Auto, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Rayman, Syphon Filter, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and Twisted Metal -- will be replaced with these: 

Sony confirmed via email that old DualShock controllers won't be compatible with the Classic, so you won't be able to use analog controls or rumble on the games that would've supported those features on the original console. For example, Psycho Mantis won't be able to vibrate your controller in Metal Gear Solid.

This release will follow Nintendo's two retro console releases -- the NES Classic and SNES Classic -- both of which have been extremely popular with gamers.
