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...

Rare Super Pocket Adds More Banjo for your Buck

I'm loving Evercade's Rare Collection 1 with the joys of Jet Pac, the hectic challenge of Knightlore and RC Pro Am Racing, but the brand has gone a little further with a vibrant red and blue Rare Super Pocket handheld. 

Part of the HyperMegaTech range, the new model offers the 64-bit Banjo Kazooie, RC Pro AM II, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs and Snake Rattle and Roll plus Solar Jetman. So, a fair few new titles to tempt those of us who own the cart. 

Also, presumably, there's a second Rare collection cartridge on the way for those who aren't into the dinky handhelds. The new Rare model will ship in June for the bargain price of £50, assuming memory prices don't keep rising.  


Check out the video for the games in action, and the official tweet comments for what's going on with some possibly misused art or version of Banjo... will update when there's official word.
