I get bad vibes from such direct spiritual successors like this. Reminds me of Yooka-Laylie (which some people, apparently, still did enjoy). You can’t be a slave to the original vision of the game, gotta come up with innovations of your own. So I am concerned about it. Read more

I absolutely cannot wait for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. If it’s not very good I’m going to be devastated. Read more

I generally don’t get excited about indie games, but Toem?  Yeah, that’s got me pumped, seriously.  I was actually really disappointed to hear it wasn’t one of the shadow drops!  Read more

Anyone know what Knuckles’s hands look like under the gloves? Because everything I’m imagining is super cursed. Read more

This was literally my first thought when I processed the tweet, hahahaha. Read more

While we’re sounding off about Knuckles song covers in the comments, lemme drop my favorite.

No witty comment. Just very pleased & excited. And posting this awesome song cover.

Is this the biggest controversy in gaming? No, of course not. Would it be nice if orientalism wasn’t perpetually used by white people as short-hand for futuristic/exotic/mystical, etc.? Yes. Read more

Some of the board’s functionality is lost once you cut through parts of the board with end points terminating into nothing but the portion of the board that boots and runs games is only a small part of the board. There is a kit you can buy that instructs you on how to chop up a Wii so you can convert it into a portable… Read more

I remember this being a white whale of sorts, as fan translations go? Read more

We are never going to play or just see them all, but it always makes me happy when I hear about another unknown gem from the past. Thanks to mags like Retro Gamer and YouTube, I learned that the history of videogames is so much richer then most of us know. Read more

Oof. Reminds me of the TVs we had after my dad’s death in Nov. 1974. Before that, we had an aging 19" B/W TV that was typical of the time (here’s a picture of it, with me at either 5 or 6, petting our cat Helen):

My grandparents had a similar style TV. I have photos of it.

We should all buy this and ship it over to the UK so Techmoan can review it. :) Read more

I see the headline, look at the thumbnail of Tomato Adventure and clicked so hard. I have been waiting to play this game for ages. Great catch Ian. Although this will only make me miss Alpha-Dream even more. Read more

First of all, relatively few of those other devices are actually as well-engineered as Analogue devices are. Secondly, their devices play games with higher accuracy and lower latency than anything emulator-based. Thirdly, the open FPGA in the device means additional cores will be portable to the device, expanding what… Read more

In the time since preordering the Pocket, I got into GBA modding and made myself a GBA with an IPS screen and a rechargeable battery... so like, I don’t know if I even want the thing anymore. Read more

Also the screen! Nobody on the replies are talking about it, but the screen is awesome. With that much resolution you don’t have to worry about non integer scaling issues, like you have on many low res handheld emulators. Read more

I too am waiting for an eventual shipment but I’m not concerned. I have all the other consoles they make and I’ve never been disappointed by them. Hopefully they deliver this before I loan them more money for a Turbo Duo. Either way it’ll eventually come and I’ll be excited for that to happen.  Read more

Enthusiasts. Simple enough. I recently bought a GBC an original GB Classic and a GBA and modded the hell out of them and I still play the old cartridges. Read more
