I can't stand the updated PS Store. I'm on Safari and like 90% of the time, I can't see any prices or options to purchase through my browser, while trying to navigate the PS Store through the console is a complete chore now as well since they removed the "deals" tab.

How a multi-billion dollar company can turn something that was moderately functional into something so unintuitive is beyond me.

I was considering Harvest Moon (both), Gauntlet, Ape Escape 1 + 2, Parappa the rapper.. I was so close to pulling but decided to keep my money.

After reading through metacritic these are titles best left on the original platform with no real updating. I understand that times change and the team probably aren't even there anymore. But in the case of Gauntlet it's not really great for 4K. Parappa the rapper there are timing issues which is the crux for music. Harvest Moon has technical issues being on a platform it wasn't designed for. And Ape Escape like some others had bad framerates. The takehome message I got was that none of these titles had the tender care needed for a proper reboot so I am keeping my money rather than donating to a cheap update with no love. Maybe I'm not appreciating it correctly or being unfair and maybe a lot of work was put in.. but based on results a game should not be ported poorly and sold. It should have not passed quality control. There just was no love in updating these but a quick recompiling of software and hoping it overall works enough to make some dough for the company owning these. So I would rather spend $60-$90 on a proper optimized games than ruining my memories of these once great games (Btw all the doom games were redone very well so that's an example how to do it right.I give my blessing to those - but I already own them on all platforms except android and iOS so waiting to buy it on those when they go on sale). The SNK (NeoGeo) titles are also properlyl done. Plays well on PS4.

Tempted to get Metal Slug, Contra, etc and then buy the Mayflash F300 Arcade Stick from Amazon. Can anyone confirm these games support the stick?

Dead Cells at $12.49 is an excellent game if you like that genre. "Dead Cells is a roguelike action platformer video game inspired by Metroidvania-style games" -Wikipedia entry

Its levels are procedurally generated and there are multiple paths to choose per playthrough, so it offers lots of replayability.

Saw the Jak and Daxter bundle included in the sale although it's not listed above. Has anyone played the ps4 versions and can recommend them? I saw they're emulations and not remastered editions. Is the nostalgia worth it?
