Over the course of the lifespan of the PlayStation 1, some games made it clear that things were never going to be the same again, and other games didn’t have that immediate impact. It’s the latter we’re focusing on here, with 10 PS1 games that were ahead of their time. From innovative features trapped on otherwise average releases, to excellent titles that simply came out too early in the PlayStation’s run to be properly appreciated, these are the games that told us in one way or another where the industry was headed, even if the games themselves didn’t know it.

10 PS1 Games That Were Ahead Of Their Time

The Nintendo Switch has now been in circulation for well over seven years, and its mysterious successor is due to arrive sometime soon. The seven-year gap between versions of the beloved gaming console has taken a crown previously held by the NES, and Nintendo’s lack of clarity around when a Switch 2 will arrive has only heightened the speculation.

Is there going to be a Nintendo Switch 2?

Name a more iconic duo than Nintendo and expanded audience commercials. There are plenty of things Nintendo loves to do in both their games and hardware, but nothing gets their goat like creating commercials that show family and friends coming together to play Nintendo games. Case in point, the latest commercial Nintendo has released.

How quickly can you get that very first mushroom in Super Mario Bros. World 1-1? I’m talking down to the millisecond. Shaving off each mushroomy-millisecond, or tackling similarly bite-sized challenges like killing four Oktoroks on a single screen of The Legend of Zelda or leaping to the top of an alien-infested shaft in Metroid, is the most fun I’ve had in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, which once again remixes the legendary 1980s library. Unlike WarioWare, NES Remix, and Super Mario 99, though, this time it’s solely focused on speedrunning, and though lacking in challenge variety, it’s still a fun to play these old games in a new way.

I bought my Nintendo Switch in March 2020 because I was excited about new releases like Animal Crossing and didn’t own any consoles. As a kid, I loved my Wii dearly, and thought a Switch would duplicate the nostalgia. Unfortunately, my Switch now sits on a shelf collecting dust.

6 Reasons Why I Regret Buying My Nintendo Switch

I always tell people that iPads, specifically iPad Pros, have the best displays for any tech device. Even dating back to the 2018 iPad Pro, that 120hz ProMotion display was second to none. As we have gotten new iPads, Apple has doubled down on the display by giving us MiniLED with the M1 iPad Pro, and now we have new OLED panels with the new M4 iPads. But aside from using features like Sidecar, you cannot natively use your iPad as a dummy display for other video sources. I am going to show you how.

There are TV deals that slash the prices of premium displays, but there are also some offers that make cheap screens even more affordable. If you want something cheap and small that can stack on your dorm room dresser, here’s one to consider — the 32-inch Insignia F20 Series HD TV, which is down to only $80 following a $50 discount on its original price of $130. TVs don’t get cheaper than this outside of Goodwill, so if you’re on a tight budget, this may be what you need, but you need to hurry with your purchase because stocks may already be running low.
