A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... there was a day when Electronic Arts used to make good games. With the retro gaming craze very much in full swing, us oldies may just get a chance to re-visit that time once more.

Though it's been sitting on the rumour mill for weeks, EA finally made an official announcement concerning their plans for the upcoming release of their own dedicated retro collection, for the PSP, which manages the encompass a rather healthy selection of some of their most well renowned classic titles, in amongst a number of rather suprising (but welcome) choices.

One of the more interesting aspects of this compilation is the fact that some of the games (Budokan, Mutant League Football, and Road Rash II) will actually feature wireless multiplayer capabilities, something which wasn't obviously wasn't in the original games. Though people were undoubtably hopeful that all the multi-player games in the collection could have been played wireless, I'm sure many will agree that it's not a option that should be sniffed at, considering the fact that it was implemented at all.

Below is a full list of the games that will make up the "EA Replay" retro collection.
