Oh hello cool Zelda homebrew project!

Not sure how much demand there is for CDi remakes but if you’ve been hungry for one step right up!

A pretty major update for ES-DE! More launchers supporting playtime tracking, especially on Android, is huge.

On the bright side though, maybe it'll launch on Sony's cloud streaming platform. It'd be one heck of a sales surge for the Portal if it did.

Oh hey hot off the press, great to see Switch emulation continuing on past the legacy of Yuzu and Ryujinx.

Here's hoping it only continues to improve!

In other cool news, a pretty meaty Castlevania: Symphony of the Night hack has been forked with some solid new features.

Definitely one to check out if you're a fan of the series.
"Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" Ultimate patch gets an updated forked hack with the PSX title and script
Last year, we covered a new romhack for the Sega Saturn release of "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" titled "Dracula X Ultimate" by Team Meduza, which not only did it completely translate the origi...

So Anbernic's sub-$100 DS handheld is... $99.99... I suppose that adds up lol.

The power isn't really there for me. Doesn't seem like there's enough to really show the benefits of emulation over playing on hardware. Having a glance on eBay, a DSi XL is £50ish (~$65). A much better option with CFW.
Specs and pricing details for dual-screen retro handheld Anbernic RG DS revealed
A few weeks ago, retro handheld manufacturer Anbernic teased its first dual-screen handheld, the sub-$100 RG DS. The company has now shared more details of the device, including its price. It is now a...

We also covered AYANEO's Pocket Air Mini earlier this week. There's a lot of handhelds on the market, but this one seems to be making a bit of a splash for its sub-$100 price point and pretty nice build quality.

Holding out for some dual screen action myself, but there might be something here.

AYANEO recently launched its first entry-level handheld at a surprisingly affordable cost. What’s the catch?

Well this one isn't much of a surprise. Seems a lot of effort to go to for $17k, but I guess this kind of thing is more to send a message.

This one's pretty exciting too. For all the hype around the N64 recompilation stuff it didn't feel like much came out of it for a while. Great to see a project coming to fruition.
"Duke Nukem: Zero Hour" Recompilation project now in alpha stages

Gosh a Neo Geo Pocket Color game gets a fan translation game after 25 years!

I'm not a King of Fighters fan, but boy do I love spin offs like this. Reminds me of Dungeon Dice Monsters (though I'm sure they're nothing alike in terms of gameplay lol).

Another trailer here for the latest HD-2D Dragon Quest remakes. They look fantastic to me, but I’ve still yet to finish Dragon Quest 3…

It just felt that bit too dated for my taste, though maybe I should give it another shot.

Sooooo we’ve got Halo coming to PS5! Cool to see exclusives bleed out onto other platforms really. I never really got into the Halo hype, but I’m glad more people will be able to try it.

Nintendo holds out as the last bastion for console exclusivity it seems.

In other Switch 2 news, Elden Ring has been delayed. Probably for the best given the footage that came out of Gamescom earlier this year.

Fallout 4 coming to Switch 2 should be fun, but I can't be alone in hoping they just give us a S2 update for Skyrim.

Yeah yeah it's been on every platform, but man joystick for movement and mouse controls for camera really would rock. Not to mention the graphical boost. Embrace the meme Bethesda!

I suppose you can now marathon the Luigi's Mansion trilogy on Switch 2.

Any word on whether the input delay on NSO GameCube is any better yet? Really killed my excitement to go back to Wind Waker.
