I’m excited that Zelda gets her own play style and isn’t just a reskin of Link. We all saw how Zelda’s Adventure on CDi turned out.

I would love to but I mainly watch YouTube and other video content on my living room TV. That’s probably a barrier for a lot of us.

Netflix has it through February 2025. Same with Better Call Saul, though that was weirder because it was on AMC+ while the final season aired but each episode only stayed up for about 4-5 weeks. Not sure of the rights on El Camino but that’s a Netflix original.

Thank you for clarifying- still want to get back in for some Splatoon 1 before the end

Exactly- though I did trade up my OG PS2 for a slim back in the day. The OG had served its time (~5 years) and was ready to go.

Saw that but these won’t work on the new model so I doubt they make more. Unless of course they’re for the revision but I don’t know how that’d work with the new design.

I’m flashing back to Xbox 360 faceplates.

As a die-hard, I bought it Day 1 and got my $70 worth. But after I 100%'d it and looked at my recently played, I realized the only other game was Chicory which I played around Christmas time…

Yeah, but thankfully I could put those in a cartridge pocket :)

Easily the most comfortable one for your pocket, other than the Micro but that can’t play OG GB/GBC games.

You’re not wrong. In a year where there are entirely too many great releases on all consoles, I’ve only played two on my PS5 (Street Fighter 6 & Final Fantasy XVI)

Not much reason to replace my current one, but many reasons to pick up OG console covers now if they’re going to be phased out in November.

I went to probably every store in Akihabara hahahah. Super Potato is the most iconic chain, not sure what part of Japan you are in.

Oh man, I loved game hunting in Japan. If you haven’t, I’d recommend grabbing some Japan exclusive physicals like Super Robot Wars series, Okami, Final Fantasy & Ace Attorney. There are also a lot of Limited Run releases that have a Japanese/Asia region physical that are tens to hundreds of dollars less than the North American versions.

Damn, I envy you for getting to experience them for the first time! I didn’t start until PlayStation 2 era so I’m in a more backwards order- did 7/10, 8, Tactics, 9, 12, 15, 7R before going back to 4 on PSP in 2020 and then Crisis Core & 16 earlier this year.

I have the GBA port of 1 & 2 but got bored at some point through 1. Also played maybe half of 13 when it was released according to Xbox achievements. I remember liking it actually but was a huge pothead at the time so my memory is a bit fuzzy. Have a strange nostalgia for it though so I plan on going back soon.

Yeah! By “finally,” I mean that it’s living up to the 30 years of hype haha. I’m playing the pixel remaster on Switch so it has actual vocals and HD-2D art style for the Opera scene. Definitely helps promote the stage play presentation and I enjoyed both versions when I watched the original SNES scene afterward.

FWIW I “liked” IV but was overall disappointed with it when I played it back in 2020 (my first FFs were 7 & 10 when I got my PS2 in 2001). Having a much different experience now with VI.

About halfway through my first ever playthrough of Final Fantasy VI. All I can say is “Finally.”

Right on! I have a hacked PSP with a similar memory card solution. It’d be nice to upgrade since I’ve always been a fan of the form factor.

Interesting- I skipped Vita and not sure how to jump in on collecting for it due to the proprietary storage. Vita TV is only ~$150 atm though 🤔

Highly recommend 13 Sentinels if you’re a fan of visual novels. Simply beautiful with great music and characters. If you’re not a fan of VNs though, the RTS gameplay is so minimal that I wouldn’t bother. It’s well-designed and enjoyable but barely 10% of the runtime.

Another thing I just thought of- no new NSO confirmations? Where’s 1080?
