Yes, I'm a few days late on this, but that's not important. What is important is that Synology has released a new SATA and M.2 NVME line of storage as well as a new line of flash based enbterprice storage. While we are super interested in the storage, the Xeon powered Flashstation 3600 looks ready to handle just about anything.... if your wallet can handle it!  More info and pics after the break

For those that never braved the Saturn and Dreamcast Sakura Wars games, fret not! This April, you will finally have a shot of playing Sakura Wars without having to hire a translator to sit next to you the whole time!

The demo of the remake of Langrisser I&II lands next week in the US from NIS on both PSN and the Nintendo eShop!

While I normally don't agree with crowdfunding from established companies and publishers, for this I can make an exception. While they already smashed through their modest goal almost 10x over, this remaster of the Wii U classic is a few dollars away from a PS4 release (strech goal was hit as I typed this) and is already landing on the Switch physically and Steam. There are a few other stretch goals that have yet to be announced. Also one of the rewards is to be "Blocked on Twitter by Kamiya", which can be obtained for free by asking him a stupid question on twitter...or confusing him for someone else on Twitter.... Or asking for a follow up of a game he mail while at another company..... or thanking him on a game he didn't work on.... or just about anything! Either way, many people did not get to play this gem on the Wii U since people hated the Wii U without trying it and this is a great way to rectify that mistake. Wonderful 101 Remastered Kickstarter
