I’m really intrigued by this, especially wondering how Crisis Core will feel when it’s not a mediocre action RPG filled with luck-based mechanics and endlessly repetitive mission structures, how Dirge will feel when it’s not one of the PS2's worst shooters, and how Advent Children will feel as you interactively…

AWW YEAH. This is what I’d been hoping the Kanto Let’s Go games would have been all along, so I am pumped! 

So...maybe Yuffie’s dressed like a moogle because they figured out that Cait Sith’s original design was just too weird and confusing for this iteration, so they’re streamlining things by having the little cat robot ride on her shoulder (more like a mascot character, maybe with some modifications to Yuffie’s skills by…

“Oh...oh my...a simple and lovely remake that’s just a better version of the original...with a revamped translation...and with Crisis Core...oh...oh sweet Jesus...”

I think the article undersells just how fucking weird Ultimate Iron Man was...per Wikipedia:

Ha, I think any reference to Jet Set Radio ages the speaker on its own. That all makes sense, I guess in my mind it’s surprising that Sony is pushing a very age-focused game like this when a) even games nominally aimed at kids like Astro and Sackboy have a more timeless feel; b) the games Destruction All-Stars seems…

Same here! Let’s Go was a fun diversion and a great way to play a game together with my wife (who enjoys exploring and catching, but gets bored by the battles), and Gold/Silver was my favorite generation. I also have the unpopular opinion that HGSS are just fine as remakes, since they inherited the DS games’ inherent…

I agree - it’s a little too LULZ GAM4RZ for me, in a way that doesn’t feel genuine or appealing. I think you can do that energetic counterculture design in a fresh, exciting, and timeless way (like the Jet Set Radio successor posted here yesterday, which looks lovely), but this feels like a marketing team looked at…

I’d heard that too, but it seems like a strange choice - my understanding is that the Sinnoh games have the most nostalgia with the serious / competitive portion of the fandom, which is probably the opposite side of the fandom the Let’s Go games are aiming at (plus the Let’s Go games were so heavily focused on Pikachu…

I’m more of a chocolate shake man myself, even if I understand that it probably bare counts as food under UN guidelines. But man, it still scratches a primal itch.

I did not! That's exciting, hopefully they're back in stock for more than a minute before they sell out...

*peaks in*

What an excellent post! I’ve loved the FF franchise since I was a kid, with FF7 being a constant in my life since then, and Barrett’s a character that I’ve appreciated more and more as I’ve grown into an adult (and as I now approach parenthood myself).

I do have that set up and it’s worked great for the past few years. I’m just hoping to use the SNES / Super Famicom game collection I’ve built up over the years rather than letting them gather dust, so I’m just being a hipster about it and wishing it was easier to find a solution that actually works well for what I…

Nope, I don’t think any of the TVs I’ve owned in the past decade plus have had a coax connection, and I’m far from the bleeding edge of TVs. Only one of my screens even has an RCA connection at this point.

I wish I’d got one back when it first came out, but money was tight and I was happy with my emulation setup at the time, so I couldn’t justify the cost. Now I’m a dirty hipster who wants to use my actual cartridges, which makes my life much more complicated...

If I could go back in time with the knowledge of all the time and effort I’d waste on the solutions listed above, I’d probably have just given in and used an OSSC / RetroTink / etc, although it still doesn’t solve my hopes of playing translation patches. I guess one of those converters plus the Super UFO I have now…

My old PS2 Slim’s laser just went out the other day, so I get that. I’ve been intrigued by the Polymega, which has a base model that combines a bunch of classic disc-based consoles and expands for cartridge and PC consoles, but a) it’s emulation-based, b) it doesn’t support more powerful consoles like the PS2,…

I certainly hope Analogue figures out their stock issues. I’ve been waiting for roughly a year to buy a Super NT and have been feeling increasingly hopeless it’s ever going to happen. In the time since I’ve tried other options for playing my reliable old SNES on a modern TV, including:

Good catch.
