@DKOldies Playing in the Donkey Kong Country tournament!

@VGC_News $2000 consoles also won't fly, so they'll have to come up with something.

It seems like the 'growing pains' of gaming never really change. Which era of 'game delays' do you think was more frustrating for fans? #RetroGaming #GamingIndustry

Back in 1988, Nintendo was dealing with chip shortages that delayed games. Fast forward to 2026, and the industry is still struggling with bottlenecks, though now it's more about fragmented global payment systems than physical chips.

Leafing through the pages, it’s wild to see that some things never change. Turns out supply chain and chip shortages were causing game delays as far back as 1988! Look at this "letter" from Link explaining why his journey was being delayed.

@DKOldies That's like asking me to choose between my children.

@Wario64 If you still needed a sign not to buy an Xbox in 2026, here it is.

@VGC_News Seems likely and welcome news. I feel bad for physically only holdouts who will have to wait to play the game. They should consider a trade-in/up system for people who purchase the code in a box.

With GTA VI hype looking to crescendo over the coming months, it'll be interesting to see how the market for past releases changes in that time. Right now the OG Grand Theft Auto on Playstation is relatively flat but could be trending up. It'll be fun to keep an eye on.

@Grummz I know it's a massive release but this is the time to vote with your wallets.

@RetroGameFutur1 @RockstarGames I understand much of the concern and outrage. My hope is that we see a 2027 release on disc, which could be a benefit in the longrun if it includes patches.

@Wario64 What in the world is Chaos Emerald Energy?

Well damn

@gamer_lafan Right here. Love this idea, even though it's not cheap, having a freshly made but fully functional retro console is a dream. Nintendo, take notes!

@finalfantasyxvi Crazy it's been 3 years. Solid game, worth a look even if it doesn't feel like classic Final Fantasy.

@SEGA @Rechi_C Doesn't look a day over 30

$1,050 for a 512GB gaming rig with an 8GB VRAM bottleneck in 2026 feels completely illegal. The Steam Machine is impressive for its size and style, but the value proposition compared to current gen consoles is non-existent. Is anyone buying this thing at launch?

@TodoPorElRatio @DoesItPlay1 Not doing something with Despelote around the World Cup seems like a big miss.

@brockpierson The arcade games are untouchable. Highly recommend the Cowabunga Collection.

It still rocks that authentic black PS1 underside though, proving it's a legit, original era pressing. ​It might not be a perfectly matched set but it’s fully functional and ready to play. ⚔️✨ ​#RetroGaming #FinalFantasyVII #PS1 #PlayStation #GameCollecting

Ever come across a "Frankenstein" game in the wild? 🧟‍♂️💿 ​Just checking out this copy of Final Fantasy VII. Discs 1 & 2 are the original white "Black Label" release, but Disc 3 is the plain silver "Greatest Hits" reprint!
