As everyone awaits the PlayStation 5 official launch next month, over the weekend several PlayStation 5 Japanese previews hit the Interwebs featuring many new details, high-resolution PS5 images and videos below via 4Gamer.net, DengekiOnline.com and the Japanese PlayStation Blog as Sony Interactive Entertainment invited a group of Japanese gamers to go hands-on with their next-gen console!

Among the PlayStation 5 games in the YouTube videos below are Astro's Playroom, Godfall, Devil May Cry 5 and Balan Wonderworld showcasing extended PS5 gameplay and more details via Twitter with highlights including:

• PlayStation 5 will use the X button to confirm by default for ALL REGIONS including Japan, who previously used O to confirm for the past 26 years.
  
• Reports indicate no noticeable PS5 fan noise with the console remaining cold even after 80 minutes of gameplay.
  
• The PS5 DualSense Controller has 4 tiny lights below the touchpad that indicate which player number (1, 2, 3 or 4) you are.
  
• These little lights are centered depending on what the number is, for example Player 1 has one light and Player 2 has two lights centered.

Since the previous Nintendo 64 (N64) PS2 on PS4 emulator port demo video and precompiled SM64 for PS3 via @zecoxao on Twitter, this weekend PlayStation 4 scene homebrew developer @Markus95 (aka @Kus00095) shared further details on the Super Mario 64 (SM64) Native Port at Logic-Sunrise.com noting the following about the PS4 PKG PS3 PKG given to him by Red-J (Twitter), to quote roughly translated:

"As Red-J says we have known each other for more than 10 years and it's been a long time since we communicate more since the PMs of LS... and what we say or share to each other does not concern LS or anyone else.

I then myself asked the dev behind the pkg, if I could give the info or not, he gave me the permission to news on it... and here is the news.

So I made a new one which respects the site charter, neither more nor less... without giving a link to the pkg... and specifying that links to the pkg are simply prohibited."

As a result of Nintendo's Recent Legal Action downloads, file names, hashes, hints, links, etc won't be posted so find them on your own. Anyone disregarding this notice will receive a permanent infraction with no other warning!

Update: PlayStation 4 homebrew developer @Osirisx has updated his Github repository now with a legal native Super Mario 64 Port minus the required assets for compiling the game.

From the README.md, to quote: Super Mario 64 Port

• This repo contains a full decompilation of Super Mario 64 (J), (U), and (E) with minor exceptions in the audio subsystem.
• Naming and documentation of the source code and data structures are in progress.
• Efforts to decompile the Shindou ROM steadily advance toward a matching...

Strange creatures called “Others” ascend from the skies to feed on human brains. Built up with the best combatants, the Others Suppression Force (OSF) was created to counter this threat.

Kasane is an orphan who lost her parents in a raid from the Others when she was a child. She joins Yuito Sumeragi as a playable character with her own skills and story.

Both Kasane and Yuito will benefit from the support of party members, such as Gemma Garrison, Luka Travers or Tsugumi Nazar, in order to get rid of the Others threat.

“These defendants were allegedly leaders of a notorious international criminal group that reaped illegal profits for years by backing up video game technology of U.S. companies,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C.
