Krikzz has brought out a selection of Everdrive flash carts for most systems between the 8-bit and 64-bit eras. For some systems, Krikzz has released multiple carts, each with unique features and released at different prices. Some of these follow a number naming pattern. For example, the Everdrive X3, X5, and X7 for Game Boy Color.…

HEX Gaming Ultra X Controller Review
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.…
Game Boy Color 2.45 Inch HISPEEDIDO IPS Kit (non-laminated) Review
Playing games on emulators can take various forms. Using original hardware to play retro games via a flash cart is a more authentic way to experience a game than simply booting up an emulator on your PC to play said retro game. The Game Boy has a few hits that are still addictive, and worth playing today.…
Everdrive 64 X7 Review
The Nintendo 64 is an icon of the mid to late 90’s. The console is home to numerous multiplayer gems. Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, Perfect Dark, Super Smash Bros, and Pokemon Stadium are just some of the titles that meant that the N64 was the best multiplayer console of its generation. The PSone won the console war of that generation in terms of sales, but it only accommodated two players out of the box (while the N64 had four controller ports).…
Nintendo May Or May Not Have DMCA’d Yuzu Fork, Suyu
Nintendo’s win against Yuzu has either fostered an aggressive fanbase hellbent on making emulation a chore with modern consoles or a lot more brazen to hit even projects that are openly non-profit. Obviously, we’re talking Suyu, the fork of the emulator that was sued into oblivion by Nintendo, leading to a whirlwind of other emulators rushing in a panic to get its ducks in a row.…
Say Goodbye To Kemono Heroes, NA, EU Players… For Now
NIS America is delisting and Mad Gear Games’ Kemono Heroes after a meager four years on the Nintendo eShop. Billed as a 4-player hack-and-slash romp, this title faced middling reception, but regardless has only lasted four years on the market. It’s disappointing as this pixel art stylized game never got a physical release so come next month, this game will be unavailable to the people who haven’t picked it up already.…
Surprise, Surprise, Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Fails Over Server Issues
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before — a pseudo-preservation effort by a third-party developer botches one of the most important aspects of the game, multiplayer, thanks to server issues, glitches, stuttering, and other problems that make the game one to wait on. This is the unfortunate side of Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, a collection of the first two widely regarded war-centered third-person shooters complete with all DLC and additions.…
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.…
Nintendo Reveals 3 Game Boy Games Heading To Switch Online
Nintendo has revealed three new Game Boy (and GB Color) games being added to Switch Online right on the heels of killing Yuzu and Citra. Of course, as we all know, Switch Online is just its paid service to be able to play a fraction of its library through the very thing that the Big N wiggles their finger at — emulation.…
