And I got the long awaited Kickstarter PS Vita code today and unlocked all PSN trophies. The PS Vita rendition is as awesome as on the superior PC-Steam hardware, there're some minor Fps drops in the first vertical "auto" scroll scene in Stage 8 with those worm things involving, which is the thing i didn't notice it was in PC-Steam version, but they are not significantly dangerous threat for the overall fluent and crisp retrospective adventure.
At this point I must admit that I love this game, and can't wait Ritual of the Night!
Playing it on GPD Win, I'd argue it makes a better handheld game, then again... *Whispers* Retro games don't work on modern TV's because those weren't meant to be played on huge screens /whisper

videogames are universal, they can be playable on any size screen. just as console games can be ported to portable, so can portables be brought to console.

Pokemon games weren't "meant" to be played on huge screens/consoles, yet the upcoming Let's Go shows that the genre and concept and game format is perfectly compatible for console play as well, even without needing trading/PVP aspects.

sure the series is based on pocket monster collecting, but limiting a series to portable just based on that, is really closed minded on the devs.

even retro gaming standard on console, and look and play better on large TV screens (they dont even have to be huge, even a 32" TV is decent.  heck a 13" TV is better than a portable screen).

so yea 2D or 3D, all games can be played on huge screen/console too. consoles and developers sure dont pick platforms like PS4 for nothing.
even indie devs pick console over portable.

portable is more of a last resort gaming method, or if people are in a living condition where they dont have their own TV and travel too often.

but overall, even most portable gamers only game at home. might as well play on console.  plus TVs are healthier on the eyes than portable screens.

even a veteran developer like Tabata, who chose PSP for FF Type 0, admitted in an interview his eyes has worsened that he was literally compelled to bring FF Type 0 HD to console/TV.  he didnt directly blame portable gaming, but its apparent.  just like how people that cough and have smoker symptoms may never blame smoking for their condition, it still is connected. 

 portable gaming worsens eyesight faster than monitors and TVs, even in well lit locations.

Well in that case I guess we're all screwed because everyone spends portions of the day staring at their smart phones which have the same size screens as portable consoles.

only in Japan.  well ok maybe the new gens in the west do that too (I dont really see teen starting at their phones often in public, especially in more crime ridden cities, having a smartphone out is asking to get mugged. )
but still when it comes to gaming, millions upon millions more worldwide game on HDTVs or monitors

smartphones are bad for the eyes too, there's already cases of people having been affected with direct cause to portable screen use. of course its more likely with people addicted to using portables for hours and hours, but the damage is still real and serious eyes health risk the more portable is used.

Disagree 110% (this means I could back track 10% and still disagree 100%)
 As it looks just fine on my telly, no probs. I really feel as long as it plays well and looks good its A Ok.

See this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/26780069/smartphone-overuse-may-damage-eyes-say-opticians
Highlighting smartphone usage as bad, but people sometimes forget this opening passage.

They are warning overuse from phones and other devices like computers, tablets, and flat screen TVs can lead to long-term damage.

We're all screwed. LOL



Oh by the way, who has or can direct me to the sprite sheets of B:CotM? I'm thinking of stitching something, maybe.

Man I grew up in the late 80's and 90's lol. Original game boy, game gear.

I used to walk around my town at night wearing and playing a Tiger R-Zone. If you don't know what that is have a look.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-Zone

It's miraculous that I can see it all. And it's no wonder that my R-Zone eye is still ineligible for Lasik.

Displays are so much easier on the eyes in general now.

There is no major risk in playing games on a handheld than there is dinking on a phone all day.

And if you live somewhere were pulling out a phone gets you mugged, that's a completely separate set of risks.

Tried to input the code for the Asia PS4. It doesn't work. Googled the reason and tadaa...
*Whoever Mohd is, thanks for the screenshot.



ARGHHHHH!!!!!!
It won't be available in the "ASIA" region, dammit.
I'm not making a secondary account. My friend's PS4 got damaged because of that and I'm not risking it.

Shit, I'm really sorry, Shiroi Koumori. Like I've been saying everywhere, Inti really screwed us over. They've put sooooo much pressure on Fangamer because they've been so tardy releasing the code. Do you have a Paypal account you could get a refund for? Or do you have a Steam account you could use to play the game?

@Gunlord: Dengo is the one handling my account. I already told him that I have a NA 3DS account, maybe Inti can just give another code for that. How much storage (I forgot how the 3ds calls its storage) does the game occupy?

How on earth could they forget that there are so many regions in the gaming world? Sheesh.

That sucks, sorry, really unprofessional.

Also didn't know a second account could wreck a ps4. :/

Around 40 megabites it said when I downloaded it on the Switch.
