The retro gaming store 8BitMods will soon sell a PlayStation 1 memory card that will be the first high-capacity memory card for the console.
These classics need to make a return.
Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.
I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.
I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.

Interesting, but I haven't touched my PS1, and PS2 since PS3 came out
This would be worth grabbing I still play my PS1 from time to time I wonder if the PS2 is next on their list.
I've still got this bad boy at hand for all my PS1 saving needs:

MadCatz 16x. So I wouldn't necessarily say it's the first high-capacity memory card, though certainly exponentially higher than anything that has come before it! The 16x holds all the saves I could need. The fact that this crazy 8BitGames MemCard can do 1GB-1TB MicroSD cards, where 1GB = 122,880 blocks...I don't know how dedicated you have to be to make use of that kind of space lol.
Its not the first that is above standard capacity. It's just giant, but there were dozens of "high capacity " cards with double, quadruple, even 16x and possibly higher than the factory memory card back in the 90s. And early 2000s. Guess it depends what you call high capacity. I would consider many times normal as high.
Interested in a ps2 version
