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...

Donut Dodo leads Evercade Indie Heroes 3 Collection

Donut Dodo from Pixel Games is one of my favourite retro games of the year, bringing the best of 8-bit arcade action with a few modern tweaks. Check out my review of the Switch version from which the below image comes.

The manic dodo, who is actually the villain of the piece, features front-and-centre on the artwork for Indie Heroes 3. The (February) 2024 collection of games that got a free digital release on the Evercade VS and EXP over 2023.


Ideal for those with the original Evercade model, other games featured in the collection include:

Platformers: Doodle World Redrawn, Magic and Legend: Time Knights, Thunderpaw, Bubble Seahorse Adventures, Orebody: Binder's Tale, and Skate Kat

Puzzlers: Alien Cat 2: Enhanced Edition, Big2Small, Chew Chew Mimic, Bone Marrow, 

Adventure: The Little Tales of Alexandria

Action: Chibi Monster Br4wl

Not only is a great collection (loved the original Alien Cat!), it gives smaller indie developers the chance of a physical release for their games and a broader audience.  


Bubble Seahorse Adventures is the latest digital release that has just become available for those with the newer Evercade hardware. 


And here's the trailer for a quick look at each game to get a feel for them. Check out the previous editions, Indie Heroes 1 and Indie Heroes 2, both packed with fun and surprises.
