Grandia And Other PSOne Classics Now Compatible With Vita In U.S.

Earlier in the week, Sony made a version 1.80 firmware update available for the PlayStation Vita, and began to make PSOne Classics compatible with the device. While Europe saw more than 100 Vita-compatible PSOne games, North America only saw a handful. Today, Sony have added a few more to the U.S. compatibility list.

Here are the PSone games that are “officially” compatible with the Vita thus far  in North America:
