Cool they have upscaling for older games.. Believe Sony already has that or will have that.

But clearly they are just releasing something due to Sonys consistent updates..

IMO atleast.

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels.
