Recent Gaming Purchases

I bought an mClassic a few days ago. It's advertised as a "graphics card for consoles", and it's an adapter that adds anti aliasing and upscales, amongst other things. With only a little bit of usage under my belt, I can't say I'm blown away, but it's definitely a neat concept with noticeable improvements.

I bought it to fake a "Switch pro", but I've heard it's even better for older consoles. I'm thinking it might actually be better for my old 360/PS3 games, and possibly Dreamcast/GameCube/PS2/Xbox with the appropriate adapters!

Just as an example of what it can do, I took a screenshot of a character I have (one of several!) on PSO2 on a regular Xbox One. The mClassic screenshot is on the right, and it's definitely an improvement!

Some games it's better than others. It really seems to help with the Switch more than the Xbox One or PS4 thanks to the added antialiasing and such. Not my video, but Animal Crossing, for example, looks pretty nice with the mClassic:


Is it worth $100? Probably not, but if you have the cash and want to make your console games look a little prettier, it might be worth a look. It's supposed to upscale Blu Rays to 4k as well, although I haven't tried that yet!
 
I'll be ineterested to hear your experience with more PS2/PS3 games. I just can't play my PS2 at this time as it looks awful on my HDTV. I tried the POUND HDMI bale but it was just awful.,

I can't make too many promises at the moment, but I do my PS3 and a few games here. I'll try to give it a whirl sometime this week and maybe get some captures!
 
Despite being pretty disappointed with Half Genie Hero, I decided to try out Shantae and the Seven Sirens given the lower price and hearing that it’s back to a more Metroidvania style.

Cleared the first chapter and a little further, and so far it’s pretty close, though I still prefer both the art style and sprites of Pirate’s Curse. That and the story feels a little bit less exciting somehow, but that’s a bit harder to explain. Even so, for the most part I am enjoying it.

mclassic works on all consoles or is there one appropriate to the switch ps3 etc.
 
Not technically a *new* purchase but I decided to cancel my pre-order for Deadly Premonition 2 on Amazon and get it from a UK store instead. For whatever reason the UK version comes with a couple extra stuff and comes cheaper, I guess? Only thing is having to wait a little more for it.

Not too sure which one it was but there was one on PS Plus and had around a similar experience. Stranger it was a Coop game and my brother and I are always looking for Coop games to play but just gave up on it.
