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.
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.

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: […]

[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 […]
[Update: Dan has posted some more thoughts about the XboxDigital design in a follow up tweet, which has been included at the bottom of this article.] Dan Kunz, a.k.a. Citrus3000psi, has had a big week; a new batch of GC Loaders sold out, the final run of WiiDual boards are set to be shipped soon, and the […]
I appreciate it when companies like 8BitDo update tried and true designs with a few modern amenities—wireless connection, turbo buttons, etc.—but it’s also nice to see companies throw convention to the wind and take a crack at reinventing the wheel. Enter Retro Fighters: the Kickstarter controller darlings of retro gaming, hellbent on creating alternatives to […]
Even after continued support for the better part of a decade, significant new features are still being implemented on the FXPAK (nee, SD2SNES) series of Super Nintendo flash carts. In the last few weeks alone we have seen save states, Super Game Boy simulation, and now robust support for MSU-1 mods that enable CD-quality soundtracks […]
Retro developer Dan Kunz (a.k.a. citrus3000psi) released an installation video this week for the PS1Digital, showcasing what looks to be a completed board design.
