Clone systems everywhere, in my dreams, and my nightmares. Clone systems coming out of my ears. It feels like not that long ago the first cheap NES clones were coming out. They felt so novel back then, a way to play your old games without d...

The battle of iterative console eras began a while back, but kind of kicked into overdrive with systems like the New 3DS, the Xbox One S, the Xbox One X, and the PS4 Pro. In the case of the former you have several games that can't even run&...
