I like how they hug at the end.

Ah, so they DID pronounce the “ROM²” as “rom rom”:

It’s in the video thumbnail in katakana, the voiceover says it right at the end, and it’s romanized toward the end too:

Vampir: Kyūketsuki Densetsu - from the list of PS1 Classics on the Japanese PS3 store – List of downloadable PlayStation games (Japan) - Wikipedia

Also Noon, which is colorful

And Dragon Money, which I looked up just for the name : P

And Hanabi Fantast

And Pet Pet Pet

And Community POM: Omoide o Dakishimete

And Vehicle Cavalier

And Fire Panic, released in North America as Rosco McQueen Firefighter Extreme

Anyway, while the North American PS1 Classics list List of downloadable PlayStation games (North America) - Wikipedia (for PS3–also I guess PSP, and Vita (and PS TV ‘p’)) says it has 265 games, with 8 delisted, the Japanese list, which does not bother enumerating itself, has by my rough count uh about 825 or so games on it!
