Ape Escape 4, its time. Make it happen, Sony!
This pre-order set up in North America has been a mess.
PlayStation Direct is broken, can't log in, can't check out. Its also been removed from the site, so you can't add it to cart anymore. Great!
GameStop requires you to be a Pro Member in order to pre-order it. So give them money in order to give them more money. Genius! (Go F yourselves GameStop!).
Target was 30 minutes late to have the product show up in search, and whe...
Play the Saturn version with fan translation patch. Either on original hardware with burned disc or ODE, or use emulation, the experience is superior, regardless of what others say online about it, the port is poor quality.
Forgot to mention Visions of Mana Collector's Edition, while $50 over priced, I'm a huge fan of the series, so I went for it.
I loved Sega during the 90's, but the Sega CD, 32x, and cutting the Saturn's lifespan extra short, burned millions of gamers, and eventually forced them to go third party. All of Sega's faults were self-inflicted.
Microsoft has done the same thing here, Sony and Nintendo didn't ruin Xbox. Microsoft ruined Xbox and burned their fan base away over constant stupid decisions.
2013 DRM fisaco, Kinect 2 fisaco, and that entire generation library...
Meanwhile here I am pre-ordering:
Tomba! Whoopee Edition for PS5
Astro Bot disc copy with double-sided poster
Sonic X Shadow Generations Collector's DX Double Crystal Pack Japanese exclusive + an additional NA PS5 disc copy
And finally I'm trying to pre-order MGS Delta PS5 Collector's Edition but its been sold out since the day it went up for sale with no restocks yet.
I prefer physica...
Its right here.

That's what you should be doing anyway. Stop buying yearly roster updates.
Piracy is the only true form of preservation.
F these big companies.
Indeed there are other sites, but I liked having one central hub for this type of stuff. Instead of having it be fragmented, so I hope the community can agree upon a new centralized hub going forward.
MSU-1 hacks are great! I recently re-played A Link to the Past that way on my Super Famicom with SD2SNES!
Good reminder, I already have an RGH, but I'm going to buy a back up.
Sad news, I go there all the time for English translation patches, and game balance fixing, or bug patches, etc.
Sales will go from 10 a week down to 1 a week. Not a big difference.
I played AC: Odyssey during the Google Stadia beta test, it did use up a ton of my data cap. Long filler padded out Ubisoft games will drain that monthly data cap (if you have one) fast.
Buy up every major company (remember Spencer said that Nintendo hasn't realized yet that their future is to be bought by Microsoft), then once they have control over the industry, choke it, poison it, ruin it and force everyone to either 'accept or leave', knowing full well that gamers (especially younger ones) have no self control, and will continue to give them money over the games 'they made' (as in bought and then claimed they made it).
There are a lot of gaming magazines still being published by 'Future' in Europe. The prices are outrageous here in the States.
A magazine on handheld gaming costs $30?! Its just too much, even though I want to support, the prices are robbery, because I assume it has to be shipped to the other side of the world. Otherwise I'd subscribe to Retro Gamer Magazine straight away.
I don't work for Sony, but I'll regret buying Bungie for them.
More intentionally released broken games with micro-trash-actions, and of course fake apologies written by ChatGPT instead of doing it yourself because you don't give a crap if you sell people garbage for their hard earned money.
Ass.
Its our job as old people to inform the younger generation whats happening. Hopefully they will learn from us, and if not they'll learn from first-hand experience, and then try to teach their next generation, who will also probably ignore the warnings.
And the cycle will repeat forever.
Virtua Cop 4 would be nice, but it won't happen.
