Good luck, man. Hopefully he won't go all Amico on us.

This is where we pretend that meh old games were good old games.

@slider1983
I'll... take your word for it!

The New 3DS XL has a much more robust build quality than the 2DS XL, which just seems designed to cut costs everywhere.

CueCat has joined the battle!

Americans just have to take British people's word for it that Jeff Minter is famous.

LRG really is a garbage company. It should go without saying that when you buy a brand new game, it shouldn't be made with used components. Come on, now!

Celebratory Digital Clock?

Is this a "hidden gem" people are clamoring for?

"long before the internet existed"

I was on CompuServe in the early 1980s. Do you mean the World Wide Web?

@PXAbstracftion Amen to that.

Bring back Wendy: Every Witch Way. Hard to believe the license for that character could be all that expensive.

LMAO, wow, it plays Pong.

8 or 9 people are going to be so excited about this (and I am jealous of them).

A controller! How jaw-dropping!

I already have an older Anberic device that plays games through the SNES perfectly, so I don't need this, but it's great that they ripped off the best Game Boy form factor. They are kind of flying close to the sun when it comes to trademark and patent infringement.

I think there's room for more Duke Nukem.

It's all so mature.

I'm concerned that only four or five of these new emulators are announced every month. What if we run out?

@PXAbstracftion Unless they give him money, in which case he'll do a puff piece on it.

I have the Taito edition of this, and it's such a cool handheld. I haven't taken advantage of the Evercade compatibility yet, but I really like it.

It's a decent puzzle game.

I love this company. Like, I never thought that obscure arcade platformers like Liquid Kids would ever be available again. They do it right and reasonably priced.

Wow, you guys are really pushing this thing.

New! Super expensive way to play the worst games nobody fondly remembers!

@KitsuneNight It was a housemate's Macintosh 128K, I believe? It was definitely monochrome.

I used to play Rogue on the Mac endlessly in the early 80s.

@Blast16 Agreed on the Wii U pro controller, my all time favorite. I use it to play emulated games on my Mac, and it's perfect. My other favorite dpad is the clicky one on the DSi.

I'm a copyright professional, so it makes me laugh how they obscured all the game labels and logos on the GBA on the cover because clearing rights for front cover usage = $$$$$. Smart move!

Ha ha, this will look awful, but seems like fun!

Knowing Konami, it'll be a Parodius-themed pachinko machine.

What's odd about this is that PC games weren't really ever distributed like this, so that kind of removes the nostalgia factor that plays so heavily in retro physical releases. "I remember buying games on cartridges" is a thing; "I remember buying games on a thumb drive in a box" is not a thing.

Coming soon: Anberric announces 17 new handhelds!

The problem with Atari anymore is that they're just an IP holding company. Everything is licensed out willy nilly, and they obviously don't care if the licensees do a good job or not.

Love using my GBA as a controller for the Gamecube's Game Boy Player.

Anybody dumb enough to buy this is probably too far gone to save anyway.

My favorite thing about the Gizmondo is that they coated them with that notoriously unstable "no-slip" rubberized (neoprene?) stuff and now all the surviving Gizmondos are gooey.

I know Yuji Naka is in prison for insider trading shenanigans, but I prefer to think of him as being in prison for Balan Wonderworld.

The original Metroid was ported to the GBA twice: once as "Zero Mission" and once as an "NES Classics" cart.

Rearranging the deck chairs on the SS Investor Lawsuit.

Not really! I'm older, so the games from my childhood were first and second generation consoles, and I never got into them then or now (sorry!). I've re-purchased a lot of nostalgic things from my childhood, but none of them are video games.

This makes sense since Wii games are so rare and hard to find.

@iconmaster I hope Jobst is making it and I hope it's called "King of Kong Jr.'

Valve shutting this down and pretending it's Nintendo's fault is a vibe.

I always love pink knobs.

God bless Hamster Corp. Love them for releasing so many esoteric arcade ports!

Bring back Billy Hatcher, you cowards.

@Poodlestargenerica I was just going to say that the clicky dpad on the DSi was one of my favorites. I also like the dpad on the Wii U Pro controller a lot.

All I can say is... Oof!

Hate the way this company does retail and I refuse to buy anything from them. It's so galling.
