Modern Video Games / PS Vita...Wow

« on: March 08, 2015, 11:20:32 pm »

I've been kicking around the idea of getting a PS Vita for a bit because they have some cool looking JRPG titles.  I started looking at pricing and it blows my mind how much the Vita memory cards cost.  $79.99 for a 32GB memory card?  Are you kidding me?  I just bought a 128GB microSD card for $40.  No wonder the Vita never caught on.  I can't believe Sony is still charging such a high price for this.

Modern Video Games / Re: PS3 "hybrid disc" games with Blu-Ray movies?

Oh, and there was "Top Gun Hybrid" that included the movie and game on the same disc.  The movie would play on a standard blu-ray player.

The collector's edition of "John Woo Presents Stranglehold" has the movie "Hard Boiled" included on the game disc.  I don't remember if the disc would boot up the movie on a standard blu-ray player, but the movie can be viewed on the PS3 for sure.

The Retron5 had a patch in the winter that allows fan translations to be uploaded and used in many JPN only games.

General / Re: Do you preorder games and if so, why?

1. Legit limited editions of games.
2. Smaller company releases like NIS or Atlus (harder to find randomly)
3. Generally preorder any mainstream stuff from Best Buy since you get $10 certificate with reservation and pick up.

Besides my own show (The Video Games Show), I listen to primarily the Completely Unnecessary Podcast (CU Podcast) and The Geeked Out Podcast (although they deal with tech and movies/tv shows as well).

Classic Video Games / Sega Genesis' SHMUPs

« on: February 23, 2015, 07:26:06 pm »

Hi everyone.  I'm moving into more focus on the Sega Genesis as I keep hearing about all the SHMUPs the console.  Can anyone recommend some quality or standouts from the pack as I know there are way too many to try and chase down.
