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.

Astebros heads to Evercade in December

Modern Mega Drive hit Astebros, only just released from Neofid Studios, has been on my radar for a while, and looks like a great fit for the Evercade roster. So, it is great to hear in the latest Evercade Showcase that the game is headed our way as part of a cool dual-pack with the roguelite's predecessor, Demons of Asteborg, with two-player support. 

Also on the way as a double-bundle are 32-bit Goodboy Galaxy, a modern Game Boy Advance title, and 8-bit Witch n’ Wiz. Both family-friendly fare. Both packs arrives in December, marking the completion of the Evercade 2023 line-up. 


Evercade's summer showcase also revealed Full Void, the company's first solo cart title, and a collection of retro-modern computer games to go alongside the console editions.
