"And now you say... you want a Revolution?" The magic moment where one of my favourite consoles and its backward compatibility features were unveiled at E3 2005. #VideoBytes

name a better octet. i'll wait.

Justice for Eusine!

That's not like Sonic to hide from us!

RIP David Rosen, co-founder of SEGA, you did an awesome job sir www.timeextension.com/news/2026/01...

Or: the Blackest speedrun in history

From hate to love in 2 weeks sounds like the plot of a romcom.

More Super Smash Bros.-related content? Damn straight.

beautiful, lovely devices

The Larry from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet of handhelds.

Me when I use save-states.

Guess who's back / Back again / Sean is back / Tell a friend!

wild if true

THE YEAR IS 2026. THE RAM WARS HAVE ENDED THE ERA OF HOME COMPUTING. ARCADES ARE THE LAST BASTION OF RESISTANCE AGAINST THE CLOUD

some roughly thrown together advice on how to get the most out of your handheld gaming, now and forever amen

this looks horrendous but the UI is gorgeous and tbqh i would have lapped this up as a (Man United supporting) kid

i completed *16* games last year rather than 15 (i forgot Sonic 1). i apologise for this oversight and hope you can forgive me and read this

lol

feel like pure shit, just want DisneyQuest back

This year may have been busy, but it’ll be nothing compared to 2026, with the 30-year anniversary of the world’s highest-grossing media franchise. We’ll be there every step of the way to provide the best resources we can to you, our amazing community!

Help me pay for more rent and get a good game (imo) in the process by purchasing STREET UNI X! It's still on sale too! store.steampowered.com/app/2204900/...

Going down a bit of a 🇯🇵 PlayStation rabbit hole right now. Pocket MuuMuu is a massive collection of minigames designed to be downloaded onto the PocketStation. You help the MuuMuus (from Jumping Flash!) build up their island home. Pretty neat. Makes me want to buy a PocketStation.

The sorcery Polyphony Digital pulled off on the PS1 remains unmatched. They had a specific vision and made it work. Just look at this atmosphere.

worth a look if you want a high end vertical handheld and your budget stretches to about $200

CHRISTMAS NiGHTS INTO DREAMS SONIC TEAM 1996 SEGA SATURN

Merry Christmas gamers!

awooooo!

The start of Christmas proper. Hope you’re having a good one

what is up my fellow gamers?

everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most. sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again. quanticfoundry.com/2025/12/18/g...

Maybe that gaming blog shouldn't have named itself after a bird seen as “a symbol of extinction and obsolescence” lol

So much of games history has been framed as toy nostalgia by default, often even below the iceberg tips of pop culture. Art history through a lens of consumption as opposed to one of creation. But the history of our craft is so much larger than whatever I grew up with.

one of my struggles w aqualounge is to connect the broader world to the former; it is culturally rich and the video game equivalent of the criterion closet, but the world outside sees "retro", thinks of the latter group, and immediately turns away. retro streams continue to be my least attended

The wheel and I cooked up some Japanese PlayStation games for you. Please respond! Japan Only PS1 Games Vol.17 is out now! youtu.be/A8xvXtoZoqo

better late than never i guess

those elves only know chaos

The head of Retro Dodo was complaining about Google shafting them in search so they've decided to keep the bad times rolling by continuously platforming ModRetro

there's a lot of buzz about failing cartridges. the best thing to do is to slot them into your device(s) to check they're still okay

tubby toast!

if they'd taken this shot a few inches down, they could have made him look like a dead DBZ character with that pink halo back there lol

You know I did

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Blog! A catch-up on my struggles with Lumines Arise, Black Friday pick-ups, curling up with a Pocket and some GBA games, and NBA Street reincarnated (or not)
