Turn-based games are not my forte—I’m far too impatient to plot out my next three moves ahead of time—but I’m always tempted to try them out, especially when there’s the promise of a retro 32-bit horror game. House of Necrosis is just that, a turn-based horror game reminiscent of the old-school ones I grew up…

Version 1.0 is available now. Life Bottle Productions, the volunteer fan group responsible for translating and remastering numerous games in the Tales series, has just announced the 1.0 release of its Tales of Rebirth PS2 translation.

Try to contain your amazement: Elon Musk has had a terrible idea. The half-trillionaire has taken a break from getting his pet AI—the one that went on a tear and declared itself “MechaHitler” in July—to generate scantily clad anime women to instead muse on its ability to generate a videogame. Musk declared on Monday that…
Fly away on my zephyr? Trinket Studios (Battle Chef Brigade) and Outersloth revealed their brand new and rather tasty-looking card-battler, Battle Suit Aces, a little while back, and it’s out right this very moment on the Nintendo Switch Entertainment System.

Two Rare classics from the olden days. A while back, the folks over at Retro-Bit announced that they were re-releasing not one but two Rare classics from yesteryear: 1992’s R.C. Pro-Am II (NES) and 1993’s Battletoads & Double Dragon (Game Boy). Both were published by Tradewest back in the day, and came at a time…
We’ve been told through Facebook that Jon Eggelton and Gianluca Alberico has released the final version of their previously announced Stronger Edition of the 2023 Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 unofficial hit of ‘SNK vs CAPCOM’; a C64 game that was developed using their in-development fighting engine known as RetroFighter. To coincide with this HOT…
Capital B here now. 11 (!) years ago, a bunch of ex-Rare staff formed a studio called Playtonic to make Yooka-Laylee, a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie that promised to skillfully carry the 3D platforming torch. Yet when the actual game launched in 2017, following an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign, it didn’t fully deliver on that…
Maybe hold off installing it at the moment. The SAROO ODE flash cart for Sega Saturn made some real waves when it started getting mainstream attention last year, and it’s abundantly clear to see why; this cheap device allows you to run your Saturn games from a MicroSD card, but, unlike other Optical Drive Emulators,…
If it’s more than two, you’re in the minority. If you’re a die-hard Nintendo fan (and, if you find yourself here, then you probably are), you’ve more than likely questioned whether you’re buying too many games.
