Shame it’s not available in a six-button option, though. Accessory maker GuliKit teased a successor to its Elves controller last year but is only now lifting the lid on it—and it appears to have taken a massive amount of inspiration from Sega’s Saturn console. The Elves 2 Pro boasts Hall Effect analogue sticks, wired and…

Coming to the exA-Arcadia arcade system. Back when Mortal Kombat was only just making its impact felt in the world of arcades, Data East’s North American office decided it would create its own take on the digitised one-on-one fighter. With a story penned by none other than Back to the Future co-scriptwriter Bob Gale, Tattoo…

Then we have just been informed by Saberman, that not only does this work in progress game have a brand new DevArena map for you to try (Patreon Paywall), but this new update showcases all…

“This is how all great ports start out!”. The Sega Dreamcast appears to be enjoying a mini-revival lately.

Like the VM2, this is an unofficial upgrade of the Dreamcast’s VMU, and will offer improvements such as massive storage, game-by-game saves, a rechargeable battery,…

“That’s not how you launch a system”. We adore the Sega Saturn here at Time Extension. While it only managed to sell a fraction of what the rival PS1 managed, it is home to some of the greatest video games of its generation, and many of those rank amongst the best games of all time….

We’ve seen a growing list of N64 titles mooted for PC versions, and now an unreleased example is joining the…

At Nintendo’s SpaceWorld 2000 event, the company showed off its GameCube console to the general public – but it wasn’t quite the same design as the one we’d eventually get. While the external casing looks identical to the final retail edition, there’s a clear section on…
