  • PlayStation Mini Thoughts
    Recently Sony announced that they will be releasing the PlayStation 1 Mini. If you don’t know what they mean by “Mini”, they are referring to a much smaller version of their original home console. Similar to the Nintendo Entertainment System Mini and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Mini released by Nintendo. The system will come preloaded with twenty PS1 games, two controllers, HDMI port to connect into modern day televisions and what I believe to be buttons that replicate the original PlayStation 1 consoles open disc, power, and reset buttons respectively.
    As of right now, there hasn’t been an official list of games that are confirmed to come with the PlayStation Mini. My hunch is that they will bundle the most popular games the console had. Although I know that’s a good idea and that might help the mini console sell better, I hope they don’t do that. Most of the Top selling PlayStation 1 games have already been available on later PlayStation consoles for years now. Why would we want this console if it has the same games that have already been released multi times over? I can almost guarantee that the final fantasy 7 will most likely be bundled with it, anyone that cares about the final fantasy series has already played that game multiple times over on multiple consoles or on their mobile device. How about they release final fantasy 8 instead? We haven’t seen that released anywhere since it first came out.
    Ultimately I would like to see games that are super classics, have a huge following is the mini ps sells well but nothing that Larry has more than 4 releases. Here is. A list of a couple of games I would love to see
    1. Chrono Cross
    2. Final Fantasy 8
    3. Mega Man Legends 2
    4. Tomba 2
    5. Metal Gear Solid
    6. Valkyrie Profile
    7. Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo
    8. Omega Boost
    9. Ridge Racer 4
    10. Gran Turismo 2
    11. Mortal Kombat Trilogy
    12. Tekken 3
    13. Resident Evil 2
    14. Symphony of the night
    15. Final fantasy tactics
    16. Legend of dragon
    17. Tenchu 2
    18. Klonoa
    19. Driver
    20. Ape escape
    Yeah, you might say that this list I ridiculous but I don’t think it’s more ridiculous than having the same games that people that would be buying this console already own on multiple consoles.
    The PlayStation 1mini is being priced at 100. When I first that price I felt that it was a little high. Again, it might all depend on the games that come out with the mini console to warrant at kind of price. I went ahead and pre-ordered off Amazon the moment I saw thyme were up. I did it because I was genuinely excited to hear about he Mini console and I’ve been on a mini console journey with both the NES mini and the SNES mini. I think its really gonna come down to the games that are being bundled with it. If we get tons of repeats then I don’t know if it would be really worth it or not. Maybe just the fact that it’s a mini console is worth the price in itself?
    When this mini console was first announced, I think there was mixed feelings towards it. I preordered mine as soon as I saw it go up on amazon. I did it because I hate wanting something and having to hunt all over town and online just to not be able to find it anywhere. Since then I have gone back to check on the preorders and have found that amazon had stopped doing them. I also checked other major retailers and there was nothing up for preorders, so maybe this thing will be in demand? Ultimately I’m covered whether it becomes difficult to find or not. I’m well aware that Sony will most likely create scarcity for an item like this. It’s a good way to determine if they should continue on this trend of mini consoles or if they should just call it quits after the first one.
    One thing that will make this console awesome if it is hackable. Just like with the NES and the SNES Classics, both systems were hackable and the community made it ...

  • Mega Man 11 Demo
    In this episode, I discuss my first impressions of the Mega Man 11 Demo. Overall I liked the demo. I feel as though Capcom is taking this new mega man in a positive direction. It also gives me hope for what future Mega Man X games might also be like. Its a short episode but a good one. Also, incase you didn’t know, Grown-Up Pixels also has a facebook and youtube page. Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks!

  • Games Overload | Grown-Up Pixels Episode 14
    In this video, I discuss the video game overload that I’m currently experiencing. There are so many great games out right now that I literally don’t have time to finish any of them. The problem isn’t so much that I don’t have the time, the problem is that I want all of these games and the reality is…I won’t be able to enjoy them all. Check out the video and let me know what you thought. Thank you everyone for watching!

  • No Shenmue, Grandia 1 & 2, and Switch Party
    Just wanted to talk about a couple of the things that have been on my mind today. The biggest thing I want to talk about is Shenmue 1 & 2. I’m still waiting for my game to arrive from Amazon. Although I’m having to wait almost a week later than everyone that bought it digitally, I really wanted a physical version of the game. I feel with the game as classic as it is, it’s most likely gonna be a collector’s item in the future.
    I also recently heard the news that Grandia 1 & 2 are going to be released this fall on the Nintendo Switch. I still own both games on their respective consoles but never finished Grandia 1. Lastly, I recently went over to a buddy’s house to play video games. Turns out that everyone that attended owned a switch, including me. Although the party was ALOT of fun, it did make me realize that the Switch doesn’t have as many good multiplayer games as I originally thought it did. Everyone owned the same games. It was still a lot of fun! I missed the laughing and trash talking that goes on when your playing with people in the same room. Check out the video or audio versions of Episode 13 and let me know what you thought.
