    Review – WCW vs. nWo: World Tour

    Zoey Handley / May 19, 2025 / No Comments

    I've been watching old WCW, usually in another window while I write. If nothing else, it adds a lot of context to AKI's first two N64 wrestling games. Now I know who all these muscular people are.

    Review – Super Technos World: River City & Technos Arcade Classics

    Zoey Handley / May 16, 2025 / No Comments

    I hate the name because I can never remember the whole thing, but I’ve said before that Double Dragon & Kunio-kun: Retro Brawler Bundle is one of the most important retro collections to be released in North America in recent years. If you’re reading this and haven’t played it, you should. We got a few of the Nekketsu/Kunio-Kun/Downtown/River City games…

    F*ck GAMEPLAY or F*CK Gameplay? Let’s have both!

    Jonathan Holmes / May 13, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Sex and gameplay have a lot in common. They are both interactive, expressive, and, hopefully, fun. But a lot of people take one, or both activities, way too seriously. Being bad at either can cause people to feel intense shame, and to risk rejection from the ones they love. For some, having a dropped connection while French kissing or playing…

    How Hi Score Girl helped me survive having my dreams crushed

    Zoey Handley / May 7, 2025 / 7 Comments

    I wouldn't complain about it to a paramedic, but working under Gamurs was awful. During that hopeless time, I was afraid of losing my passion for video games. Hi Score Girl helped me keep it alive.

    Review – Suikoden I HD

    Patrick Hancock / May 4, 2025 / 5 Comments

    I have no nostalgia for Suikoden. I grew up hearing it was a good game (or, really, its sequel), so I was very intrigued at the idea of jumping into an HD remaster. The Suikoden games have quite the legacy behind them (even more so if you follow Aidan Moher on social media), but I never knew how much of…

    Review – Farming Simulator 16-Bit Edition

    Zoey Handley / May 3, 2025 / 1 Comment

    New games on old consoles will probably always be exciting to me. Old consoles all have their unique strengths and weaknesses, and seeing developers navigate them is interesting. I wish the big, veteran publishers would get in on it. New Nintendo games on old Nintendo consoles? Gimme. Farming Simulator 16-Bit Edition is interesting to me now that it’s actually on…

    Preview – Every Day We Fight

    Zoey Handley / May 2, 2025 / No Comments

    I loved XCOM and XCOM 2 (The new ones. The old ones kick my ass), but I can’t say their style is a carrot I’ve been chasing. In fact, I haven’t played XCOM 2 since the expansion, though I remember really enjoying it. So, I probably wouldn’t have paid that much attention to Every Day We Fight if not for…

    Retro-Bit is trying again with preorders of the Toaplan Shooters Collection Vol 2 – minus Twin Cobra

    Zoey Handley / April 29, 2025 / No Comments

    That’s messy. A few days ago, Retro-Bit announced that it was removing Twin Cobra from their Toaplan Shooters Collection Vol 2, a set of reproduction titles for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Apparently, licensing issues are to blame. They’re now set to re-open preorders for the collection, but it’s now been slimmed down due to Twin Cobra’s absence. “Following discussions with the…

    Review – Empires of the Undergrowth

    Zoey Handley / April 27, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Does every kid have a period of ant appreciation? I never had an ant farm, but I did once have other ant-related ambitions. I wanted to find a way to grow ants to the size of cows and have a petting zoo. Just an incredible example of childhood delusions. Like, clearly, the only reason we don’t have giant ant petting…

    The Switch 2 needs a mascot – I offer Linkle as Tribute

    Jonathan Holmes / April 26, 2025 / 2 Comments

    Most Nintendo consoles have had official or unofficial mascots. Captain Falcon, a more muscular, futuristic man than Mario could ever be, initially was created to represent the Super Famicom/SNES, with his colors intended to match the console’s Japanese controller’s buttons. The Wii came into this world bearing the visage of a whole new lifeform – the Mii – things that…
