Sony know a thing or two about sleek, desirable consumer electricals and its stylish white finish to this memory card serves as a fine reminder. Plenty of capacity to store saved games.
Very snazzy rack to sit with the old school model of the PS2 and hold it in vertical position alongside a Dualshock controller to keep the console steady and complete with handy front power switch.
Lists Ridge Racer, Kings Field, Crime Crackers, Jumping Flash, Tekken, Kileak the Blood, Ultimate Parodius, Kyutenkai amongst the titles that can be tweaked with in the interest of fun and to get past that bad boy boss.
Clever pad from master crafters Hori that can switch between two Digital, Analogue, Negicon, and Analogue Joystick modes. Tried and trusted ergonomic design with intriguing clear look to see the inner workings.
Enhances enjoyment of the Beatmania series ten fold with the buttons laid out just where the player needs them ‘to produce a pleasant and cool sound’ and the turntable for authentic feeling scratching. ‘The moment you make a scratch, you will be hooked on Beatmania.’ Another wacky yet essential console accessory fresh from Japan.
Improve your dance step using this DDR mat compatible with the Playstation titles. Far better to practise in the comfort of your own home before unleashing your moves on the arcade groupies. Genki keeps the curtains firmly shut when grooving and gyrating, for now…
Sony attained such levels of perfection in its Playstation controller, it is little wonder the winning formula has changed so little over the new incarnations of its hardware. Intuitive and snug, most reassuring when being chased by the undead in Biohazard to avoid button flapping and mashing.
Fishing controller adding great realism to the sport’s sims on the Playstation. Whilst you my look a little strange frantically casting and reeling in the comfort of your living room, this shouldn’t be allowed to get in the way of bagging a nice fighting tench from the comfort of your own armchair with packed lunch on your lap. Ascii released this as a stand alone for other fishing games coming with the Tsurikon or Tsurikon 2 logo.
Dedicated slot machine (or fruit machine) fans will lap this up with button layout just like a modern slot machine to flitter away a few virtual credits. Superb way to spruce up ones favourite gambling game and at the end of the day wont leave you out of chips.
Incredible attention to detail in this scale Playstation console model with every chip in the right place and authentic stickers to finish off that perfect look. Unfortunately doesn’t play games.
The height of kitsch which every self respecting otaku shouldn’t be without. Even comes with a stop watch rest. Infinitely adds to the realism when playing Densha De Go on the Playstation.
Classic Japanese puzzle action with frantic pace, anime characters and plenty of cussing in despair and whooping in delight. Coloured spheres must be matched with other colours. The twist being your platform can only hold so much weight before it gradually gives way under the strain of too many spheres and gets pushed to the bottom of the screen. Fast flowing and full of fun.
Makes ace use of the monochrome screen as players bound the platforms clearing away the Bero men baddies with a tactical comb or two in order to clear the level and progress. Much sort after due to being released in a collectable tin, as opposed to a card box.
The playable dragon can manoeuvre around the screen to give an extra dimension to this block out style game with indestructible blocks causing much disdain. Beautifully presented and a fine example of the genre.
Super deformed (shrunk down) versions of the SFII phenomena that swept the world including high school student Sakura with her Spring Image attack and Zangief with his Russian Beat attack. Finely balanced play mechanics and exotic backgrounds. Complete with full speech in the anime scenes which didn’t make the cut in the Western release.
Simply animated on screen action and appealing avatars convey the emotion of the simple yet at times frustrating game. A fine all round representation of the sport and a pleasure to whittle away long journeys.
Travel Japan racking up the mahjong tiles for a game of the ancient Chinese table game. Smoothly presented with some nice graphical sugar to wash down the serious business of the game.
A growing up simulator with Kano the star as layers celebrate events like their birthday together. The real selling point is the use of the Pocket Station to ensure players never have to leave home without her. Unfortunately for Kano, cooking and studying are on the agenda as well as playing.
Meet the ladies of Pocket Kano and get to comment on their apartments and the like. But its best to avoid tongue in cheek comments which may fall flat. As tempting as it may be.
Mini PocketStation style Pocket Sakura to add to the in game experience when used in conjunction with the Sakura Wars GB GameBoy Color title, displaying mini graphics of Asakusa, the Sakura characters and rickshaws.
