Speaking of Castlevania games on PlayStation systems, you know what shocks me? The lack of Castlevania Chronicles on modern platforms via any collection or the PS4/5 classics program. It appeared on the PS3/PSP stores and nowhere since...

The port begging never ends. I've love for these games to come to other platforms of course, but it bears repeating that Requiem contains the PSP versions running on a first party emulator.
It's a shame, really. To play the whole Richter saga officially on one device, you need a PlayStation.

8 years ago, a boy met a girl and went on a journey to find salvation in a dying world, all the while going on a journey of self-actualization and making discoveries about his world.
While not my favorite in the trilogy, Xenoblade 2 is a game I will never forget about and I’m thankful for existing.

Even though the execution of time travel wasn't particularly consistent from a narrative standpoint, my mind always jumps to the Hero of Time.
I'm including his journeys in both OoT and MM in this, by the way. Not to mention tutoring his descendant as the Hero Shade in TP.

Always-online DRM in singleplayer games, and in general the idea that buying a copy of a game doesn't necessarily mean owning it.
Whether it's physical or digital media, it should be as future-proof as possible.

A Black cosplayer named ash squidkid passed recently due to anti Black harassment.
They were constantly bullied and it became too much.
This is why the anime community sucks.
Its why its very hard to support any of it when creators and participants practice racism towards consumers that are Black

Retro games are special in a way I’ll never be able to fully explain…
Those pixelated stories held us up through childhood storms…
and taught us courage long before we even understood the word.
Call them “dated”…
but they gave us hope.
And they carried us farther than anything else ever could 💙💙

If Expedition 33 shook you,
if it cracked something open inside you,
then you need to play Lost Odyssey.
A story where the biggest moments aren’t battles…but memories. And those memories will seep deep into your soul and stay with you long after the credits fade.
Truly a masterpiece 💙

I and almost everyone I knew had a PS2. It was always going to be an uphill battle.
But judged as a console, the GameCube was a step in the right direction compared to the N64, from the switch to discs to the oft-beloved controller.
It had fun games too, all of which are compatible with most Wiis.

Nintendo GameCube officially released 24 years ago today!
The GameCube had an uphill battle. It sold the least next to PS2 and XBOX, no DVD support, etc.
But it DID have great games, and it might be even more beloved today than it was during the 6th Gen!
Are YOU a GameCube fan?

The Xbox brand always had promise and potential. The OG for example, while forever overshadowed by the PS2, was actually considerably more powerful.
It's a shame that after all that traction and good will from the 360 era, Microsoft dropped the ball hard with the Xbox One reveal.

It's definitely not the worst 3D Sonic game ('06 takes that title out of every one I've played, and I've not heard many positive things about Secret Rings), but there's also far better ones like Adventure 1&2, Colors, and Generations in terms of gameplay.

By far the definitive Mega Man 1 experience and it's not even close. The PSP did receive many other remakes including Final Fantasy, Castlevania, and Ys, but the upgrade in quality here cannot be overstated.
This (and Maverick Hunter X, besides the Day of Sigma OVA) also never got ported anywhere.
