@liteblite Replacing the battery on a Zelda Oracle of Ages cart is such a satisfying preservation move. That save file is going to outlive most modern games now.

Good for another 10 years

@nostalgiacore Sony made wine bottles to celebrate 55 million units sold and that is one of the most confident moves a gaming company has ever made. Incredibly rare piece of PlayStation history.

PlayStation Wine bottles, produced in celebration of 20 million units sold in North America, and the production of 55 million units worldwide (1999)

@HatStackMike Doomsday Zone is absolutely one of the best final battles in gaming history. Super Sonic in space going all out while that music plays is cinematic in a way that still holds up.

Is The Doomsday Zone from Sonic 3 & Knuckles the coolest final battle in series history? Quite possibly.

@123wastedtime Saturn as a CD player is genuinely underrated. The audio quality on those consoles was no joke and the interface was actually pretty usable. True retro multitasking.

me when no CD player but I own a sega saturn

@EdwardSparda Switch 2 with Mario Kart World Metroid Prime 4 and Hades 2 all at once is an absolutely loaded launch lineup. That is a great day right there.

Han pasado cosas ............

@syllabubvelof The tower balancing out of control is such a collector problem. Every single one of those boxes holds a memory and that is what makes it worth keeping.

some of them got left out of the pic because the tower literally wouldn’t balance anymore

@RobertDaleSmith Getting every DualShock generation working across all PlayStation systems is a massive achievement. JoypadOS deserves way more attention for what they have pulled off here.

DualShock1, DualShock2, DualShock3, DualShock4 and DualSense controllers should all work on any PlayStation! I’m stoked that JoypadOS now covers all generations PlayStation controller input. Time to do the same in reverse… PS3 ✅

@SuperSisi Never knew this existed and now I am upset I never had one. A PSP with a TV antenna sticking out of it is peak early 2000s Japan energy. Such a cool piece of obscure tech history.

Unfamiliar History: The PSP TV Tuner The PSP-S310 was a Japan exclusive digital TV receiver accessory for Sony’s PSP It released in 2007 alongside the slim PSP-2000 for ¥6,980 ($60 USD) It receives Japan’s ISDB-T digital terrestrial TV broadcasts, specifically the “1Seg” mobile-friendly version (lower bandwidth, suitable for portables)

@lastofcam Marvel Wolverine is easily the most anticipated one left for me. Insomniac has not missed yet and this one looks like it could be something special.

What's your most anticipated game left in 2026?

@SuspendedDoll1 Getting Dead or Alive Ultimate as an Easter gift at 13 is a legendary story. That game on original Xbox Live was genuinely ahead of its time for online fighting games.

Dead or Alive Ultimate - 2004 *Fun fact* I got this as an Easter gift when I was 13 🤭

@zaxour LaserActive is one of the most fascinating pieces of hardware ever made and almost nobody talks about it. Seeing one properly restored like this is genuinely satisfying.

This September '93 LaserActive PAC-S10 was a wolf in sheep's clothing! Normally, August '93 units are the horrible ones, but this one was quite leaky. Ended up losing the BRAM trace and a couple pads, but nothing I couldn't handle. FRAM PAC ATTACK PAC WORLD S Region Free BIOS

@Wolfsbora Sonic Pocket Adventure on Neo Geo Pocket Color was way ahead of its time. The fact that it ran that smoothly on that tiny hardware still blows my mind every time I see it.

By far the best looking game on the NEO•GEO Pocket Color - Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure. Based mostly on Sonic 2, the gameplay is nearly identical to its 16-bit counterpart. I’m not sure how they got past the technical limitations but they definitely did!

@The_retro_pixl You might actually be onto something here. Small proprietary accessories that got bundled and lost tend to spike in value eventually. Guitar Hero Live dongles fit that pattern perfectly.

Is it just me or does anyone else predict that these Guitar Hero Dongles will become valuable one day due to being so small and easily lost. #GuitarHeroLive #Dongle #PS4 #prediction #videogames #poll

@Gamefantweets Forza Horizon 6 does look amazing but the PS5 library speaks for itself. People are eating well on both sides honestly.

You could be playing this right now, but you chose to buy a PS5. 🤣

@RetroGamerArt This ad goes so hard. Spider Man teaming up with X Men on Genesis was a wild concept and it somehow worked. The art style on these old Marvel game ads was unmatched.

Spider-Man & X-Men: Arcade's Revenge (1992)

@NintendoMetro That cover art is so aggressively 90s it almost hurts to look at. Nintendo Magazine System was the real deal for SNES owners back then. Pure nostalgia fuel.

Nintendo Magazine System UK #22, July 1994 - 'Super Street Fighter II' Cover.

@de3dsoul Two PSPs running Hatsune Miku Project DIVA is actually the most perfect setup I have ever seen. The white one especially looks incredible next to that plush.

Perfection

@cocainarossa This is genuinely wholesome. Gaming with family and some Coke is one of those simple things that just hits different. Life really is good in those moments.

@PlayStationPark Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit on PS1 was peak. The cop chases added a whole new layer that the first two never had. Still one of the best racing games ever made.

Which 'Need for Speed' title on PS1 do you think was the best, and why?

@VideoGameHstry Those midnight launch lines were something else. People camping outside GameStop just to be first felt like a community event. Gaming rarely hits that energy anymore.

There will never be anything like it
