    Polymega Remix, a portable device to digitise and preserve retro games, announced

    I presume this is just for people of a certain age and wealth who just want a quick way to play their own collections on their phone. I get it as a capitalist product, but has little meaning beyond that. People have already pointed out how few mediums it does, particularly without add ons...

    I looked. You're right. Sounds like there might be some exciting developments soon though from some clever people so... The future looks bright.

    World's first Wii U Gamepad to PC dongle called Chocolate announced, initial wave of pre-orders sold out immediately

    Isn't there an Android version of Appollo or Sunlight? Then moonlight from the homebrew store on Switch and you're finished. I love the GamePad but yeah, this is really a novelty. I do wonder if and when people will start developing replacement boards and shells for the GamePad. An open source...

    ROM Hack Fifth generation animated sprites demonstrated in Pokemon FireRed, public release to follow

    If I understand correctly, I think the issue is how much memory (RAM) is available to the game on a GBA, as each frame needs to be loaded into that. And when that's the issue, you need to edit the sprites anyway. Plus what they said about the default sprite size in the. game. Technically you...

    Pokemon Home gets v4.0.0 update ahead of Pokemon Champions release, Legends Z-A now supported

    I gave up on Z-A and my living dex an hour into the DLC. I guess I was burnt out, but managing a living dex with limited PC space was already hard enough without the DLC and it was quite infuriating that Home support was yet again so late. I fear I am part of the group that the Pokémon Company...

    ROM Hack Super Duper Paper Mario gets v1.1.0 update, adds turn-based battles to Chapter 2

    I just want to reiterate what the first poster said, how it is really very impressive. I never gave this game a fair shake. I think i enjoyed it, but then I hit a town and had to explore to find my way like a normal RPG and the genre switch turned me off. That was a long time ago now so maybe I...

    Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream gets free "Welcome Version" demo ahead of April 16th launch

    Considering how intensely many of you are playing the demo, I'll take that as a recommendation.

    Editorial AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini B.Duck Limited Edition Impressions

    I actually have the Pikachu Nintendo 3DS XL, and I think the shade of yellow on the Lite is actually better and more Pikachu like. It's still lighter than a yellow GBC which I'm pretty sure was the colour used for the Pikachu GBC back in the day (with a blue back). Pikachu used to be a lot...

    Capcom removes Enigma DRM from Resident Evil 4 Remake

    Anyone know if they reversed the stupid Denuvo of Ace Attorney: The original trilogy? People basically only still buy it to mod it, as it's so ancient at this point. And like... Who does it actually harm? Watching Ace Attorney Smooth Criminal makes me want to give Capcom money!

    "Resident Evil 3: Last Escape" mod aims to expand and bring back cut content from the original to the RE3 Remake

    In the old days, a company like Capcom would have worked to save it and its brands' reputation by at least selling you a better, full version. Well done the modder, but these franchises barely deserve people like you anymore. I was shocked when the otherwise blatantly superior Switch remake of...

    Vampire Crawlers to launch next month on PC, Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series

    Hmm... Looking forward to it. Still haven't played all the DLC of Survivors yet, I'm savouring it. It's a good business plan. Get you hooked into spending unholy hours on the base game so you practically feel obligated to buy the DLC. These sort of games would have hit perfectly for the ARM...

    Editorial AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini B.Duck Limited Edition Impressions

    The yellow one is perfect. Just slap a Pikachu sticker on there (good idea me, note to self, buy sticker paper). This is so adorable and I'm glad it can't play Wii and PS2 as it's an excuse to not buy one. I actually kinda find the Lite design and form factor perfect and been eying up similar...

    Upcoming game: Ooo... Mina the Hollower 😋 Fav Romhack: 2Ship 2Harnikan is sorta one I guess. Cool Tech: Hmm, my Mister Pi is pretty cool. Not my arcade machine yet though, soon.

    You can now run any Wii U game made with Nintendo Web Framework in your browser

    Ok some snobs here today. Every game is some person's favourite. Especially these simpler, smaller games. I never bought any of them here, but I might have played them or their sequels on Steam. I definitely have fond memories of some of these sort of games on 3DS and am glad this sort of...

    Gaming Project PocketDoom: Finally, Doom port for the Analogue Pocket!

    I bought the Doom pack on GoG thinking about playing it through Portmaster on my Anbernics but maybe this would be a fun way to do it, as I have a dock.

    "Steam Machine Verified" only guarantees 30fps at 1080p on the upcoming system

    If I want to play on my 4K TV, which is what the Machine is for, I want to aim for as high a resolution as possible. Coupled with the fact I'm been playing Nintendo games at 30FPS or lower all my life and having realistic expectations, I imagine most of my library will manage 1240p30FPS and the...

    Xbox Mode is coming to Windows 11 next month

    Yeah I get Explorer Lag on Vanilla 11 with my modernish laptop because I dare to use SMB... A Microsoft owned protocol that I only chose because of that laptop and works 100% better in every Linux Distro and some Androids.

    Yoshi and the Mysterious Book gets new trailer along with release date

    I dunno, if this is aimed towards young children, I'm happy that's still a market. Tbh, though most of the games are beautiful, I've only ever really liked Yoshi's Wooly World, Touch 'N' Go and Story, and only one of those games is objectively good. I think the difficulty and more importantly...

    ROM Hack Expressive backgrounds teased for upcoming Pokemon Black and White 2 ROM hacks

    Um... Actually... 🤓 After watching Turtlebros' videos on the development of Pokemon games as revealed in the (very immoral) hack, there's a pretty clear pattern of Game Freak actually being very competent developers with brilliant ideas and speedy execution. At least since gen 5, if not sooner...
