Top 10 Playstation Games that need to be on PSOne Classics

4. Rival Schools: United by Fate

I said earlier that Capcom has a pretty impressive collection of its fighters on PSOne Classics already—but that doesn't mean it's a complete collection. Capcom is well-known for its Street Fighter series, of course, but the company has made plenty of other fighting game series, and they tend to get forgotten under the sheer popularity and massive pull that is Street Fighter.

One of those series is the Rival Schools series. As the title may suggest, the fighters are a bunch of outlandish high school students that are looking into some weird events that are going on in their town. It all leads to an evil school trying to take over the country… because why not?

What makes Rival Schools a bit different from the rest of Capcom's fighting game portfolio during the PlayStation generation is that the game plays in 3D. The company isn't really well known for its 3D output, and even its more modern titles put 3D models on a 2D plane to duke it out. Although quite honestly, most of Rival School's fighting plays in the same manner, the element is still there.

Rival Schools may not have aged as gracefully as some of the other fighting games of the generation, but its unique setting and crazy characters deserves to experienced by fighting game fans, and with the genre seeing a bit of a resurgence as of late, many of these newfound fighting genre players may not have been able to play the likes of Rival Schools when it was first released.
