After reviewing the HEX Gaming Phantom controller, which was based on a PS5 controller, I’m now reviewing the Ultra X Controller, which is based on an Xbox Series X/S controller. Again, the controller is compatible with Nintendo Switch (via an 8Bitdo adapter, which I’m using) and a number of other systems. It is a great controller to use for emulation on a phone, as it’s compatible with Android.…

HEX Gaming Phantom Controller Review
The dominant controller design hasn’t changed much since the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era. Two analogue sticks, four face buttons, and two pairs of triggers is what makes up the modern videogame controller. Clickable sticks, motion control and touchpads are relatively newer additions. Each console generation since the NES and Master System era has helped to carve the design of the modern video game controller.…
HISPEEDIDO USB-C Battery Modification for Game Boy Color Review
The early Game Boy Systems used disposable batteries, which can be seen as both convenient and irritating. They are convenient in that you can replace batteries anywhere, rather than need a port to charge the system. They are irritating in that if you haven’t got batteries, you can’t power the system.

It was 2017, but still. Besides, that game fumbled harder than a zombie sprinting into a wall.…
Age Of Booty To Be Delisted This Month, Big Sale Going On
After developing a Halo 2 map in 2007, independent game developer Certain Affinity got to work developing Age of Booty, an original Xbox 360-era real-time strategy game featuring what else but pirates, factions, and foes. Unfortunately, it seems that will soon come to an end as the only legal way to purchase this game — that being the Microsoft Store — is pulling the plug.…
Monster Hunter Stories Remaster Dated
Capcom has shared the release date for the remaster of its 3DS classic, Monster Hunter Stories, with the game dated for a mid-June release — June 14, to be specific. The enhanced edition isn’t heading to current-gen hardware and is skipping the Xbox, focusing only on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It’s always good to see remaster news as while it’s not a sub for proper preservation — after all, you still have to touch the code to make it more palpable for the modern audience — it’s still a way to introduce those who haven’t seen played the game.…
