SNK’s apparently working on a new Neo Geo console as a semi-open platform.
Also, a new console Metal Slug is coming.

None of the reviews talk about spending a bunch of hours doing research, being hot as balls sweating all day, walking around looking for random shit, or scribbling indecipherable notes at the end of the day.
2/10 not much archeology going on.

If Capcom does announce a preloaded stick I’m interested. I spent saturday night getting my ass handed to me in an arcade cause I’m a pad player and my execution on stick is trash, plus all my friends that don’t play SF are more willing to play on a stick cause they’ve only played in the arcade. I’d assume that it would have 2 sticks on it. If it’s $200 or less with good components, I’d seriously consider it.
Since Discourse won’t let me post identical posts I’ll just link it.

Sony reveals a few details about the PS5

I wonder if Sony did this to get ahead of the leaks. Specs of the CPU AMD was working on for the PS5 got leaked. It’s awesome they are going with Zen 2 and Navi for graphics.

I don’t know what any of the technical stuff means cause that’s just not my wheel house anymore.
The thing that caught my eye and will be a big selling for people is the fact it will be Backwards compatible. While I personally don’t think it “needs” to be a feature or a “must have” feature. I don’t mind whenever a system does it. It’s why systems like the GBA, DS and one of the reasons PS2 sold like gangbusters.

The game selections…I’m all set.

That game Collection kind of sucks. Cyber bots, giga wing, mega man power battles and AvP are the only games I’d play.
Also its design is fucking gross.
Backwards compatibility will be good for the early life of the console. I don’t expect it the games for the new console to get going until the second or third year. Playing old games on it would be a nice use for it in the meantime.

I think the issue is that most other platforms these days have it so that upgrading to new hardware doesn’t remove access to your software (let alone your games). Moving forward, companies are more likely to treat consoles as part of an ecosystem/platform. So for example, in Sony’s case, whatever you buy on PlayStation from a certain point onward, always works on any PlayStation platform.

Jesus that Capcom dual joystick is ugly as shit. WTF were they thinking?
And that price point … LOL!

While not in the same league as Sega (no one is in this regard), they love the 2 steps forward, 3 steps back approach. Lol
I’m tossing dollars at the arcade home. I’m upset it has micro USB instead of type-c for charging.
Not surprised at the price considering the hardware involved. This is basically a dual arcade stick setup similar to an Sega Virtua Stick HSS-0130, with twice the hardware of a normal arcade stick. 2 JLFs, with GT-Y octo-gates, 12 OBSF-30 buttons, 4 OBSF-24 buttons, etc.
And they’re probably not expecting this to sell in the same way as other retro consoles. This feels more like a limited run thing.

Yeah. Between the “ok”’game selections, it’s general ugly as fuck design and price point makes it an absolute no go for me.
