when i have kids in 10 years there isn't going to be any of what you understand to be nintendo for them to hang their cultural understanding on. if you grew up with the n64 or snes around then you've probably played some of the classics that everyone talks about but once the wellspring of nostalgia runs dry the next generation of kids is going to have a 30 year long backlog of extremely well polished but forgettably derivative switch versions of super nintendo games they never played.
Animal Crossing Island Whatever sold 40 million copies and probably is the last culturally relevant game to be released period, let alone Nintendo games only. It might be shit but there's plenty of great selling great games in line right behind it. Sorry you live in a box and don't know what you're talking about.

However, to incentivize you to still sign in with a PSN account while playing those games, Sony says that it will “soon” be adding “in-game content unlocks” like outfits and resources.
 
Was a Jaguar game at first. Didn't become Sony until after the Jaguar failed, and even then it shared the release with the Sega Saturn, which was the better version since the Saturn was the 2D king. Since then it's been living in Nintendo's house (GBA, DS, and (if you count the first Rabbids) Wii) until It got the reboot where it went multiplat everywhere including mobile phones.
Castlevania
So wait..... the Konami franchise that made it big on the NES... would have been O.K. and done better on Sony consoles....

My PS4 disc tray is starting to be finnicky and not eject or take anything. It's probably a blessing.
 
The only good Castlevania games released this century were on the DS lol.

Unless you like Kojimbo’s Lords of Shadow I guess.

I’m glad Sony finally pushed the Californians out. It’s crazy the damage they did in such a short time.

Possibly the easiest of DIY repairs you can do. If anything, finding replacement parts for disc loaders is still cheap and doable, compared to the abject nightmare that is replacing the dualshock 4's battery.
 
Make Sony Japanese Again.
Japs are cucking to Wokeism too though, so it'd probably only be a minor or temporary improvement, if not just a lateral change.

Imagine the good will they would get if they released a new Ape Escape that was just fucking fun and the only black people in it were the apes!
I miss that series, it's one of my favorite platformers ever. It's one of the few to rival Mario.

The only game I would consider playing on that list is Astrobot, and that's only if the price was far lower.
No doubt it's coming to PC anyway.

nintendo hasn't released a culturally relevant game since super mario galaxy
Are you crazy? BotW. I didn't like it but it sold like crazy, performed well critically (fans & journoscum), and and won tons of awards. You can't get much more culturally relevant than that, at least for a single-player game.

those crazy bastards really are looking for a 2026 ps6 if they are starting to kill the ps4 now
I really hope so, it'd be such a retarded move. I guess if Xbox is going to do it early too though then Sony may as well beat them to the punch.
 
PS6 2026, believe!
There's no hardware to release for 2026. Neither AMD nor Nvidia has anything ready in the pipeline that's a generational uplift over what's in the PS5 Pro. The PS5 Pro is already fabbed on TSMC's 4N and given the lackluster performance of 3nm, console makers are probably going to wait until 2nm is cheap. 2nm won't enter volume production until the second half of 2025 and likely won't be cheap enough to make consumer CPUs and GPUs on until 2027.

Also is there really any need for a PS6? The PS5's current problems are a lack of software and a lack of proper support for the Pro model. As much as I rag on the PS5, it's a competent, powerful system that's not really holding back any of the software that could currently be on it. In contrast to the PS4, the PS5 actually performs fairly okay against contemporary PCs and most of the stuff that doesn't run well on it doesn't really run well anywhere.

Every single one was a massive draw for sony in the early days. Now the only remnants they have of any of those franchises are remakes or remasters.
Playing Astro Bot really reminded me how many amazing IPs Sony built its reputation on only to leave them rotting on the vine in pursuit of whatever the fuck the end goal was supposed to be with Horizon: Zero Charisma. It surprises me they've kept Ratchet & Clank going as long as they have, even though it's been pushed further and further towards being 'cinematic' with each new game.

OT: Thank fuck Hulst is finally gone, now we can kick our feet up and wait for the next pozzed GoW, Insomniac or Naughty Dog game. Good times ahead.

They did always have the big budget blockbuster cinematic type games even on PS1, with titles like metal gear and final fantasy, but they always had plenty of simple "fun" games too. Now they only have the cinematic games, except the quality has dropped massively from the ps1 era. Metal Gear 1 and FF7 vs The Last of Us 2 and Red Dead 2. Btw this is called "advancement"

Looks like things are changing..

Japanese government takes unusual action against UN committee recommending revision of Imperial House Law

The UN's mandatory feminist terror campaign against Japan finally came for the Emperor, resulting in Japan ending their funding of UN Women and banning the gender equity envoy from their annual Japan inspection.

GoW and Naughty Dog especially are the best examples of Sony's huge leap forward into the modern age. Classic PS2 action games to bland cinematic "heartfelt" slop. Classic PS1 fun platformers to whatever The Last of Us is, and the upcoming Heretic prophet...
