June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

Intellivision collections coming to Evercade

Blaze can fix that with a 12-game Evercade cartridge landing in the autumn and more carts promised to follow. 


The Intellivision numeric function pads and disc controls won't be an issue as games will be individually adapted for modern controls. The first three games announced for Collection 1 are early-80s efforts, Frog Bog, AstroSmash and Night Stalker for some shooting, maze running, fly munching action. 

Update: The rest of the titles for the first collection have been revealed. 

There's a decade of titles to choose from so hopefully a few more recent ones will make the list. Hopefully they won't drag out announcing the other nine over too long. 

Whatever your feelings for Intellivision, this is another great sources of games for the Evercade and helps round out its position as the ultimate retro handheld. If you fancy the modern version of the Intellivision, the Amico is up for pre-order now.
