Talk about unfortunate timing. The latest AVGN episode tears apart Glover – the N64’s creative 3D platformer known for its incredibly vexing difficulty level. We recently tried to play the recent Evercade version but struggled to make good headway, and that was despite it being improved. Regardless, QUByte and Piko Interactive are teaming up …
The Xbox 360 and PS3 physical releases of Under Defeat are absurdly expensive these days, so it can only be good news to hear that a current-gen re-release is coming. Clear River Games are partnering with City Connection to bring the 2005 G.Rev developed shooter to PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Steam and Switch. Both the …
Canadian developers Itzy Interactive are about to enter the console market with Mad Devils: Damned-finitive Edition – an enhanced version of their arcade-style co-op shooter that’s about to leap over from PC to PS5 and Xbox Series. Mad Devils is set during a twisted rendition of WWII where the betrayal of an allied special forces …
Blaze has opened their magic pockets and penned a deal with IP holders Rebellion to secure a new Evercade collection. The Bitmap Brothers Collection 2 will include five Amiga games and one from the PlayStation. It seems that original collection featuring console games over the Amiga originals didn’t go down too well with fans. For those …
At a time when many of the biggest names in retro gaming are often reserved for subscription services – such as Antstream and Switch Online – or used as selling points for dedicated retro collections, it’s refreshing to see a much-requested retro gem gain a multiformat standalone release. Taito could have easily held back Parasol …
A new series of Cobra Kai launches on Netflix this week, and presumably to coincide, GameMill has announced The Karate Kid: Street Rumble. This pixel art side-scrolling brawler takes us through the original trilogy, with the action spread across twelve stages. Locations revealed so far include Topanga Beach, West Valley High, and the Cobra Kai …
Arc System Works are teaming up with YUKE’s to create Double Dragon Revive – a 3D reimagining of the 1987 classic side-scrolling brawler. Details are currently slim on the ground, with the press release mostly comprising character art. We can at least tell you that Arc System Works’ fighting game staff are on board to …
When people talk about ‘big hair’ in the ‘90s, they may as well be talking about the Stone Protectors – the short lived 1993 multi-media property arguably guilty of trying too hard. Supported by a thirteen-episode cartoon series, Stone Protectors took the goofy and outlandish personalities of the Ninja Turtles, the bulging biceps and colourful …
“Bargain approaching! Bargain approaching!” Next week sees the release of the retro shooter collection Over Horizon x Steel Empire on PS4 and Switch, arriving at the knockdown price of £13.49. If you’re quick about it, an extra 10% discount can be had for pre-orders. This collection, published by ININ, includes the 1991 NES shooter Over …
Hyper Mega Tech’s Capcom and Taito Super Pocket handhelds must have proven popular, as two new models are due later this year. As before, they’ll be Evercade cartridge compatible, and retail at a modest £49 each. The Technos model is Double Dragon orientated, including six of the scrolling brawler’s entries, along with Renegade, The Combatribes, …
Capcom’s 2006 shopping mall-based zombie slasher Dead Rising is getting a deluxe remaster in September, set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series and Steam. While many would have appreciated a new game in the series, it’s still pleasing to see Capcom hasn’t ditched the IP entirely after the middling reception to Dead Rising 4. The …
2002’s Bounty Hunter is one of the lesser recalled Star Wars titles. It launched at a time when franchise fatigue was starting to settle – Attack of the Clones had several tie-ins – and it didn’t manage to make good on its premise, with the bounty hunting aspect being weak. Aspyr has announced a remaster …
If Two Point Campus left you in a daze, PM Studios and Pathea has something in the works that may appeal. Let’s School is a similar management sim, putting you in charge of creating educational establishments. You fill the corduroy trousers of a headteacher and have full control over designing a successful school, hiring/firing …
Limited Run Games have just capped off their ‘LGR3 2024’ event, revealing over twenty new physical releases – including the likes of Toxic Crusaders, GI Joe: Wrath of Cobra, Gimmick 2, and Ubisoft’s Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition (out next week digitally) – along with a handful of previously unannounced titles. Following Atari’s …
We’d recognise that shade of cyan anywhere. Prolific publisher Flynn’s Arcade are gearing up to release the twin-stick shooter Satryn DX on Switch, which features solid-coloured visuals seemingly influenced by the ZX Spectrum. It looks set to offer a heady dopamine rush, based around rewarding players with power-ups. The higher your score, the more will …
