It's Arcade Archives which means sadly no online multplayer, but yoooo, Toukidenshou -Angel Eyes- is getting a rerelease!! This game is busted as all heck but it's fascinating!
The arcade version has quite the development history, as documented by @suddendesu- the game contains remnants of an English localisation and an unused character, plus this page explains how the game had its origins in the scrapped Ninja Gaiden II, sort-of

This game is mostly famous for having three characters done in a CG style and the rest in more traditional sprite art style.

It gels together about as well as you'd think. ImageImageImageImage
There was a PS1 port released late in 1997 that, ~apparently~, has 2D versions of these CG characters but I can't find any footage of them and I can't unlock them myself.

This PS1 port is still on JP PSN for PS3, PSP and Vita!

Righto. What follows is the official Gaming Hell PS3 / PSP / PS Vita Store Closure Thread.

Not a robust guide by any means, just some basic notes and observations for surviving digital armageddon.

(Please wait 'til I'm done before replying to this. It's gonna be a long one.) Image
Before we get started, this is NOT a definitive list of all non-physically released games, all essential games to get or anything like that.

I'm mostly sharing some things I've found that may be of use to you, focused on JP-exclusive and PS1 stuff. I hope you understand.
Also, basically all the images in this thread come from GameFAQs except for some gag images here and there to jazz things up.

First up, a eulogy.

THE iDOLM@STER: Million Live! Theater Days on smartphones has a fighting game minigame as an April Fools' Day joke... That was made in cooperation with Tekken Project themselves.

Incredible.

(Is Iori in this? Is she top-tier?!)
(You can search the hashtage in that quoted tweet if you'd like to see actual footage of the minigame.

It looks like Iori isn't in but Yayoi ~is~ so clearly she's the top-tier one.)
I saw at least one person in my mentions (which are currently on fire for some reason) ask how to play this.

You'll need a way to get to the Japanese App Store on iOS / Android, but this is what you're looking for

RADICAL ARCADE GAME FLYERS - Bucky O'Hare (Konami, 1992 - Japanese flyer)
flyers.arcade-museum.com/?page=thumbs&d…

He goes where no ordinary rabbit would dare.
The arcade Bucky O'Hare is notable for basically serving as a finale to the cartoon series, which only had one season and never really had a final 'defeat' for the bad guys, the Toad Empire.

What's more interesting is it adapts stuff directly from the original 1984 comic!
Specifically, the race of ominpotent mouse creatures that show up around the halfway point come straight from the comic and (as far as I know) never showed up in the cartoon series.

So this is weird, Mad Father has had a significant update today on Steam- basically completely remaking all the graphics, adding new modes, etc.- and if you own the game, you get the update for free.
store.steampowered.com/app/483980/Mad… ImageImageImageImage
However... There are three versions of Mad Father. The very first one, from 2012, is freeware and still available, with a translation by vgperson
vgperson.com/games/madfathe…

The version originally released on Steam in 2016 has been 'replaced' by the remake and is no longer available ImageImageImageImage
This is especially weird for me because I reviewed the 2016 version of Mad Father! And, uh, now it kinda doesn't exist anymore.

A really, ~really~ deep cut for Arcade Archives on PS4 this week- Pettan Pyu, a 1984 maze game by Sunsoft that focuses on flipping panels to defeat the baddies.

"Hey, aren't there normally more screenshots with these tweets?"

Yes! However, the new, completely shit browser PSN redesign ~removes all screenshots of games~ so I have to get them myself, and I'm not sure the colours are right in the version of MAME I have.

Sorry!
(You can't even sort games in the new browser PSN, everything about it is worse than the old one, this new console generation is clearly a mistake if it's lead to this, mumble grumble)

A few loading screens from the PS1 version of Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes. Every character in the game (except Lilith-style Morrigan, Mega War Machine, Hyper Venom and Orange Hulk) has one!
The PS1 port of MvC is, needless to say, very compromised, but they tried their best. Performing a Duo Team Attack, for instance... Brings in a ~clone of your opponent~. Don't need to load a partner into memory if they're already there!
It also has some exclusive features, like an art gallery, ending viewer... And a very silly 'Dynamic Mode' where when you land an Air Combo / Aerial Rave, the camera will zoom in closer and closer until the combo ends.

It... Does not look very good.
