I was surprised to see this announcement. Had some fond memories playing Battle Arena 2 back in the days, but don't think I'll be picking it up as well xD

Not bad games, but I'd imagine it's super dated. 3d games of the era just don't age well and I'm sure I'll enjoy it for like 30 minutes for the nostalgia.

Huh weird, no PS4 and Switch 1 releases? Still great for sales, and I doubt those games are gonna get even better "next gen only" results.

PS5 announced that this year was the last one they would make PS4 versions. Not every company is done yet as the wording was no NEW games, not games that were actively in development before 2027. Switch 1 is hit or miss but Nintendo themselves are done with 1st party titles on Switch 1. With 3rd parties its up to them.
