Retro Gaming

Nice! I never played the Breakers on Vita, just PS3 for the first two, PS4 for the third, and PC for GB4. I did play Gundam Seed Battle Destiny (good, but not as good as Gundam Battle Universe on the PSP) and Gundam Extreme Vs Force, which I seem to recall reviewing poorly but I loved it for the solid single player campaign.

I did, but I've been a fan of Musou games since Dynasty Warriors 3 on the PS2. There are better Musou games than the Gundam ones, and for Gundam hack-n-slash games the Breakers games are better, but if you like Musou games and Gundam then they're still fun.

What's you personal top 3 current gen Musou games? I only really got into Dynasty Warriors during the ps2 days but getting that itch to get back into it this gen.

If you have a Switch, I really loved Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Fire Emblem Warriors: The Three Hopes.  For a more classical mixup vs Lu Bu Dynasty Warriors 8 is good (9 was TERRIBLE).  I haven't played Origins yet.  Samurai Warriors 4 is good if you like Sengoku history, and if you're a fan of Dragon Quest both of the Dragon Quest Warriors games were good.  For Gundam specifically it's Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn, but in the US it was only released as a digital PS3 game.  I never got into the Orochi games or the One Piece ones.

Berserk Musou was a fun romp - highly recommended for fans of the manga.

It doesn't get more retro than this, I ran into it at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas - Computer Space, the first coin-op arcade video game:

Unfortunately, it was out of order, so I couldn't play a piece of video game history.

Y'know... as much as I'm not a fan of what Michael Bay did with the Transformers movies, his style would probably work for Outrun.  Hot girl, lots of glamour shots of the cars, maybe some high speed chases (with explosions).  Pretty sure I've seen worse.
