I make great efforts to keep the content on RetroRGB positive, but doing the right thing often requires discussing the negativities people might run into.

The second is a video about two separate exploits being found for the PS5 – And while there’s no public release available, this is […]
A full English translation patch has just been released for the Game Boy Color game Sakura Wars GB, a spinoff of the original Sakura Wars game, released on the Sega Saturn. Retro Ali recently did a livestream playthrough of the translation, along with the lead translator. I strongly recommend this video for anyone curious about […]
