Wow, I have just discovered Taito did a remake of sorts on the DS called NewZealand Story Revolution. upgraded graphics, music, game mechanics, no more insta death. I just started it but seems like a lot of work went into making something even more playable while keeping the spirit (and level design) of the original. the spot the difference touch screen segments can be… frustrating though. Super catchy music is playing in my head all day now.

I played the first Y’s game on my Sega Master system back in 1989 or so and I have a lot of nostalgia for it… It’s cool to see how the games progressed as action RPG games (1 and 2 have been remade and released on mobile too) and it’s cool to follow the same characters. Just starting Y’s seven I can see they have made a lot of changes to the systems and I can’t wait to get into it more.

PS1 runs perfectly in duckstation, with upscaling and filters. I have started a tomb raider play through and it looks amazing at 720p…

It’s fantastic, runs most psp games at 3x resolution. Also runs many ps2 and GameCube games playable, if not well. Dreamcast runs great, the screen is bright and colours are vibrant. I do want a steam deck to go with this for things that need a bit more power but this is pocketable and will be on me when I go out.
