Welcome, dear readers, to the latest installment of my Physical Media Roundup series! These posts will be gathering the month’s upcoming physical media releases from around the web and rolling them up into one big catalogue for you to browse through. Vinyl, cassette, VHS, MiniDisc, Gameboy Advance cartridges… everything has a place in the roundup and possibly on your shelf! This post will cover the month of June, as well as some selections from the past that are still for sale, as there is just SO much to choose from. There is no particular order to this list nor any particular genre, anything goes, as long as I think it’s cool. Without further ado, let’s dig into the crates and look at June’s physical releases!
