      Sonic Frontiers races out later this year, here’s everything we know so far!

      Last year was a huge year for Sonic the Hedgehog as the Blue Blur celebrated his 30th birthday. The year-long celebration brought forth outside collaborations with other games and a slew of anniversary-themed merchandise. Over the past year, fans also got remasters of Sonic classics in both Sonic Colors: Ultimate and, more recently, Origins. However, the culmination of Sonic the Hedgehog’s 30th anniversary did not stop at re-releases. Instead, during last year’s Sonic Central livestream,…

      Phantom Dust, cult classic card game, gets creator support for sequel

      Never let it be said that petitions are a waste of time. Sure, in most cases a would-be fan effort to get an otherwise dormant project off the ground fizzles out, but every so often you get one which actually makes it to the big leagues; or, in this particular instance, gets the nod from someone in a high (ish) place. Enter Phantom Dust. This criminally overlooked action-puzzler from 2004, which folds in elements of…

      Yuji Naka Famicom Emulator for Master System

      Yuji Naka created a 3D Famicom emulator for the Master System

      The ingenuity involved in running games designed for one system on another system is underappreciated. Porting games from console to console is never a simple task, as you’re essentially redeveloping it for an entirely new console. But these projects are always fascinating to learn about. None have been more curious, however, than an unofficial Famicom emulator for the SEGA Master System made by Yuji Naka himself. That’s a bizarre enough story on its own. But…

      Sonic and the Fallen Star now available, check out the trailer

      I’ve said it before, I’ll say it now, and I’d say it again: the Sonic fanbase has some actual geniuses milling about in there. Be it the hardworking folks behind Project 06, a ground-up remake of Sonic 2006 that fixes… well, everything, to a similar effort targeting Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, to reams upon reams of wonderful fanart and animations – it’s all a treat. Hell, Sonic Mania is essentially a fan hack of…

This is to be a follow-up to the original Monkey Island titles, which are regarded as seminal outings in their field and paved the way for many an imitator throughout the 90s and 2000s.

      The Beta for Halo Infinite Co-Op campaign drops July 11th

      It’s been a long road for Halo Infinite since it was released last year. The game saw a strong start, but interest has dwindled in the months following its release. A significant reason is the lack of content and updates to both the campaign and multiplayer modes. But it seems like a heavily fan-requested one for the story mode is on the way. 343 has announced that the beta for the campaign co-op mode is coming July…

      XIII Remake is being remade… again

      First-person shooter XIII managed to garner a cult following even after initially receiving poor reviews and selling poorly. So, when Microids announced its remake in 2019, many people were excited for the possibility. However, after the remake’s release, fans were left sorely disappointed, to the point where the creators had to apologize for the disastrous launch. Now, Microids decided to give it another shot with a new XIII Remake done by an entirely new studio.…

      SEGA looking to adapt Persona and other Atlus IPs for TV

      One could hardly blame SEGA for having an itchy trigger finger poised over the greenlight button for live-action adaptations of their games, following the runaway success of the Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise. Franchise. Franchise. I’m going to take a moment to savour that, to let it roll off the tongue. What a surreal timeline we live in. It ain’t a single movie, it’s an entire brand’s worth of ’em. Roll on number three, I…
