A Handheld Gaming Device Designed for Retro Games? Yes, Please

Over the past couple of years, game developers have begun the revival of the design of the retro game. These games tend to have pixelated graphics and gameplay that brings back the memories of video games of yesteryear.

Why would i buy this when i have my PSP which can do exactly the same thing?

Vames2654d ago

You just answered your own question!

TheCommentator2653d ago

Why buy a portable at all when a phone does everything, including emulate classic consoles?

Sir_Lucan2653d ago

Because Physical controls > Touch screen

@sirLucan...
Mini Bluetooth gamepad ($15)... Problem solved.

Bleucrunch2652d ago

Yea touch screen will never replace buttons....wont ever be as responsive either. Must get a bluetooth controller if you want to use the emulators on your mobile phones.

TheCommentator2651d ago

Optimus has it right. If you're that into gaming on your phone Bluetooth controllers are the way to go. Your phone has all the power it needs to do everything these days, why not use an inexpensive controller if you need to instead of buying an expensive system just to play games on? Portables will die; it's just a matter of when.

People have their Vita's,DS's,Switch & smart phones for that.

If it had the games installed on it that would be cool but this is already available in many forms or if it took cartridges from gamegear, turbografx and the old Nintendo handhelds that would be cool . But it does none of those things

nirwanda2652d ago

If Nintendo or sega made one with the entire catalogue of games built in it would sell like crazy. Would love a 128gb handheld Dreamcast/gamecube with all games built in.

DankSinatra2653d ago

So some that's existed many time before this?

chris2352652d ago

and that gadget was already unnecessary. imagine what huuge success another mee too gadget would be that only played vintage games *g*

The director of the original Silent Hill: “I look forward to seeing bold interpretations.”

Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”

Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.

They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.

Galactic Glitch review - ChristCenteredGamer

CCG writes - "Overall, I found Galactic Glitch to be nicely polished and fun to play. Along with a nice 35% off launch discount you can save 30% on Alpherior’s game Genome Guardian if purchased together. The normal asking price is $14.99 which is fair. If you enjoy twin-stick shooters and rouge-like games, you’ll definitely want to add Galactic Glitch to your Wishlist!"
