Hello readers! My name is Alex Mitchell and I’m a gaming enthusiast with a background in communications and film & television production. While I don’t have any professional training as a journalist, I still strive to accurately and honestly report on projects, products, and events in the retro gaming community. I could not be more honoured to be contributing to this website and hope you enjoy my articles.
P.S. My definition of “retro” is: If it has been fifteen years or two generations since the end of a game console’s lifespan.
If you’re at all interested in exploring unofficial software on the GameCube, you probably already know about Swiss: a home-brew utility that can allow the GameCube to do things like bypass software region restrictions, sharpen its video output, or even load software from SD card adapters.

A modding group has released a Mesen HD Pack based on the Zelda 1 Redux patch that adds remastered audio and graphics to The Legend of Zelda: This remaster is a pretty extensive overhaul of the original game and looks terrific in this video. While I know a lot of enthusiasts prefer to enjoy games in their […]
Retro hardware developer Terraonion announced today that their Multi Optical Drive Emulator (MODE) will now support the original Playstation. There is a catch though! Although installing a MODE in your Sega Saturn or Dreamcast only requires a screwdriver for disassembly, a PSX installation will require some additional soldering to attach an adapter board. Other PSX […]
After successfully funding a line of N64 and Dreamcast controllers, third party controller designers Retro Fighters are gearing up for another controller-centric Kickstarter campaign. Instead of tackling a new console this round, Retro Fighters is heading back to the N64 to release a wireless version of their Brawler64 pad with a few extra features for good measure: […]
Retro hardware developer Terraonion has released two updates over as many weeks to refine the experience of using their Sega Saturn and Dreamcast Optical Drive Emulator—M.O.D.E. Firmware v1.03R02 landed about two weeks ago and adjusts a few things for Saturn and Dreamcast users. Terraonion has provided this changelog: [SAT] Fix CDDA noise added by previous […]
[UPDATE August 27, 2020: It has been confirmed that the OSD will not be present on any analog outputs.] It’s not always easy to be a fan of the Nintendo 64. Sure, it is rightly revered as an iconic platform that helped shape 3D gaming as we know it, but that intrepid spirit also led […]
