Nintendo announced quite a few retro-related things in the September 23rd direct, however one of the most interesting things for us is the release of two controllers that haven’t got much love over the years: The N64 and Genesis 3-button controller. These bluetooth controllers will be available to purchase for $50 only for Nintendo Direct […]

On my own blog, I’ve noted that the Pioneer LaserActive is one of the toughest nuts for upscalers to crack. It combines a game library consisting of fast-paced FMV crosshair shooters and quick-time event games like Triad Stone all in 240p, with a need for high-quality 480i deinterlacing for its use as a LaserDisc […]
A brand new side-scrolling Castlevania game was just (re?)released called “Grimoire of Souls”. It’s a modern 2D platformer/Metroidvania that was previously available in 2019 on smartphones via iOS and Android, but was removed from the stores about a year later.
