Elsewhere, Bluey performs well on Switch. The latest UK physical charts are in and the top ten is much less of a Nintendo-fest than we are used to seeing, with even the Big N’s newest releases failing to make the podium. It is Hogwarts Legacy that sits in pole position this time, with the newly-released…

A Rare find. It was almost 10 years ago that a group of former Rare developers got together and established Playtonic Games. This was a team consisting of many of the minds behind Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong Country, and other such classics, so when their first title, Yooka-Laylee was released in 2017, we were relieved to…
I’ve been a fan of first-person shooters on console for longer than I’d like to admit (GoldenEye, anyone?), and I’ve been privileged enough to experience the exponential expansion of the selection of quality FPS titles on Xbox.

The MSX was most popular in Japan, but also had its fair…
It even includes a retro mode for old school fans. As spotted by Gosokkyu, Devil Blade, a 1996 vertical shoot ’em up for the original PlayStation, appears to be getting a modern reboot from its original creator for Windows PCs. The game was originally developed by Shigatake, a Japanese illustrator known for their work with…
You’re a star. Worldless opens with a battle of opposing stars; they cascade towards each other in what seems like an endless battle. From that epic scene-setter, we follow the journey of one such celestial body, who gains sentience and treks across an alien landscape to find…purpose? The central mystery at the heart of this…
Some more great retro gaming news for you all, as we’ve just been given the heads up through our Facebook group, that Alarsoft who was behind great conversions and new games such as Galaxian, Hyper Harvest, and Galaga, has now turned his attention to the 1982 game of Burger Time. A new C64 conversion which was originally…
Launching later this month. Publisher Neverland Entertainment and developer CreSpirit have announced that they will be launching TEVI on the Nintendo Switch at the end of the month on November 30th, 2023.
