The latest video from Jimmy Hapa showcased the Super Famicom game Kat’s Run. While I’m obviously a fan of Jimmy’s work, this video captured my attention for a few reasons.

The team behind Bloodstained just announced the official release dates for the game: First, June 18th on PS4, Xbox One, Steam and GOG. One week later, on June 25th, it’ll be released on the Switch.

AtariAge user rj1307 has just released a new Atari Lynx multicart called the AgaCart. It’s not quite a “ROM Cart” like the Lynx SD, as you load up to 199 games and select them via the button on the back, as opposed to an on-screen GUI. Price is only about $65, which might make this […]
