Limited Run releases have become a steady part of my Nintendo Switch diet, starting back in the fall when they had an open pre-order for Yooka-Laylee. Thankfully, their Switch releases have all been generous in this manner, rather than bein...

In one of today's weirdest bits of news, SNK has revealed the existence of a limited edition "Christmas" model of their nostalgia console, the Neo Geo Mini, which launched worldwide mere weeks ago.This yuletide console is decorated in festi...

Adventure Time ran for 9 years, 10 seasons and one Minecraft themed special. As nicest of guys Jonathan Holmes wrote, it influenced a whole heck of a lot of similar, brightly colored, emotionally complex shows in the com...

Drum roll, and cue the gloriously satisfying theme song, because Tommy, Dil, Angelica, Chuckie, Phil and Lil are back! More than ten years since Rugrats went off air, Nickelodeon and Paramount Players have just announced that the lovable 90...

I love when the marketing team behind retro games dig deep for nostalgic references. Sega's latest trailer for Sonic Mania Plus basically recreates the old "Sonic vs. Mario" ad from 1991 and it is pure nostalgic bliss. As an added bonus, it...

I just took a two-decade trip down memory lane and now I'm feeling weirdly emotional. In this precious footage from 1996, Nintendo's Ken Lobb demonstrates the wonderful world of Super Mario 64 to a captivated audience. We're so used to seei...

The National Videogame Arcade, a museum of gaming in Nottingham, England, has announced that it plans to relocate to Sheffield once the Summer season is over.The NVA opened in 2015 and features a large collection of video games, consoles an...

[While Mother's Day has come and gone, it's never too late to recall childhood-defining moments regarding the person that so fitfully heaved us into this world. Our new friend Adzuken weaves a beautiful tapestry of how gaming with her mothe...

At Cannes today, (yea, Cannes goes lowbrow sometimes), it was finally confirmed that Bill & Ted 3 is happening. Cue air guitars. The movie, officially called Bill & Ted Face the Music, has been rumored and tossed around for yea...

If you love having novelty ornaments hanging on your Christmas tree, then Hallmark has a real treat for you! Coming this holiday season, the world's premiere paper store will be selling three brand new ornaments modeled after some of gaming...

When we were young teens, me and my brother laid claim to the basement. The rest of the house was neat and orderly, a pastel world of floral designs and tasteful drapes. But, the basement was ours. A savage land of hand-me-down sofas, coffe...

I'm not sure how many of you mess around with alternate themes, but this new "Legacy Dashboard" dynamic theme for PlayStation 4 is going to turn some heads. It brings back fond PS2 memories. The theme was put together by Truant Pixel "with...

Like roughly 90% of the rest of the world, I spent the days leading up to Halloween watching the second season of Stranger Things, which takes place in 1984. Nintendo didn't hit North America until 1985, so kids like the Stranger Thing...

Admittedly, I was never the most responsible Tamagotchi owner out there but, if given a second chance, I think I could raise one of these little digital creatures right. I'll feed it, clean up after it, the works! Two decades later, Bandai ...

Life can be pretty tough to a young, upcoming witch. Just ask Belle MacFae, currently under threat of expulsion from the Hagmore School of Magic. Her crime? She ruined the Walpurgisnacht Brew, which had been painstakingly prepared for a mys...

[There are not many feelings in this world, besides sex, that are as satisfying as besting an enemy that genuinely tests your skill. When you come out on top, you feel like a total badass. Not because it was easy but because it wasn’t...

This gets my vote for today's coolest thing (that isn't new but is new to me). 98DEMAKE is a YouTube creator who takes modern video games and imagines what they might've looked like had they originally released in 1998. I've seen plenty of ...

In one of the more absurd announcements this year, Albino Moose, the company behind Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion: HD Renovation, announced they're working on a brand new Nightmare Creatures, set both before and after the events of the 1997 ...

Our current 90s nostalgia boom has resulted in some good things, and lots of bad things. But I am thankful that it's allowed some stories to finally get a real ending. Hey Arnold! was one of the many Nickelodeon shows cut dow...

Rocko's Modern Life wasn't my favorite Nicktoon. It came out in the second (or third?) wave of Nicktoons where I was just getting a bit too old and "cool" to watch (until I got older and "cooler" and started watching again). Anyway, s...

[I never owned a current-gen console as a kid, and I really didn’t mind that much either. CowBearSnail takes me back to a time, before the internet, when others’ opinions didn’t have as much sway over the way I played vide...

When I was a kid I was into things. Things that gave me that rare combination of joy and fuzziness I've only since felt for women and tandoori chicken with mint chutney. Some of these things were games and some were literature. Some were ac...

Whoa, who the frak is Fronz? Hi! Some of our long time readers might remember me as the first editor Niero hired back in 2006. I was the Editor-in-Chief in the interim between Robert Summa and Nick Chester, and later on I helped Matthew Raz...

Well, it's really happening. If the NES Classic didn't appeal to you, then this one surely will draw you in. Nintendo confirmed on Twitter that a Super Nintendo Classic Edition (which means it'll be HDMI ready like its predecessor) is on th...
