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.

Raiden IV x Mikado Remix bombs the Switch

In between all the shooter action, it's down to you and the latest Raiden fighter craft to protect the earth, and send the Crystals hurtling back to darkest reaches of space! 


The all-new remixed soundtrack, features a new setlist produced by Game Centre MIKADO! With 16 tracks reborn with live performances and new arrangements and a huge range of popular Japanese artists, including: Go Sato Band / HEAVY METAL RAIDEN / Soshi Hosoi / FANTOM IRIS / O.T.K / Daisuke Matsumoto [CAVE] / Keishi Yonao / Hirokazu Koshio [COSIO]

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
