Slowly but surely, the SuperGrafx is returning from the grave

OK, so that's probably a bit of wishful thinking on my part. After all, just two of the failed system's five games have found their way onto today's download services.

The first, Dai Makaimura (Ghouls 'n Ghosts), was added to the Japanese Wii Shop Channel early last year, while the second, Battle Ace, will be hitting the (as of now Japan-only) "PC Engine Archives" section of PSN sometime next week.

Yawn ... wake me when 1941 and Aldynes are available, will ya?

It'll be interesting to see how many PSP and PS3 owners buy Battle Ace, considering it's widely believed to be the SuperGrafx' worst title.

The ultimate unboxing video

Aaran Nanto, the man behind pcenginefx.com, recently posted (to YouTube) the most moving unboxing video I've ever seen.

The crew over at tinycartridge.com describe it as lying “somewhere between love story and pornography.” I couldn't have come up with a better description if I'd tried.



Hopefully Nanto's next "momento" will shine a light on another portable system that's near and dear to my heart: The PC Engine LT.
