Exactly one year after announcing the Super NT — a product that I called “the nicest 16-bit console I’ve ever held” — Analogue is back with the Mega SG, promising to do for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive what it’s already done for the Super Nintendo. The Mega SG is powered by the same hardware that makes the Super NT possible, and will ask the same $190 price. But this isn’t simply more of the same; this time around, Analogue has a few new tricks up its sleeve. Last year, Analogue’s Christopher Taber told us, “We want to do more systems, there’s no question. We’d like to go through video game history — especially a lot of the stuff that’s especially, or unlikely, to ever get any OEM treatment from the original company, like Nintendo is doing — and make systems that are made with respect and care and attention to detail and allow people to celebrate and explore those platforms.” With Sega thus far … [Read more...] about Sega Genesis finally gets the HD console it deserves

The Innocents creators explain exactly HOW shapeshifting into a pregnant nurse works in the Netflix show
The Innocents has been on Netflix for a couple of weeks now, and it's proven a hit among viewers. The show follows a couple of teenagers - June and Harry - who escape their dreary, caged lives together in the north of England... only to discover that June is actually a shapeshifter. It's a supernatural romance with plenty of young adult themes, and a handful of weighty philosophical questions. One of which focuses on the consequences of assuming someone else's identity and feeling their emotions and thoughts. Spoilers for The Innocents follow.About half way through the show June accidentally shifts into the form of a nurse, attending her in a London hospital. When June shifts she does so by touching another person when she's scared, and this also results in the original person being put into a non-responsive state (a coma, essentially). We've seen her do it a couple of times before but... the nurse is pregnant. And June assumes her form, with the baby still inside her. So, um, how does … [Read more...] about The Innocents creators explain exactly HOW shapeshifting into a pregnant nurse works in the Netflix show
Top 10 PlayStation-era Mascots That Deserve the Spyro Reignited Trilogy Treatment
Spyro Reignited Trilogy was officially announced yesterday, and we can barely contain our surprise. That's a joke, by the way; even your nan knew that Spyro was being remastered, with it being one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming. Still, it'll be good to see the purple dragon back again and playing second fiddle to Crash Bandicoot, a mascot that was itself playing second fiddle to Mario. I guess that makes Spyro third fiddle or something. Actually, no — Sonic the Hedgehog is second fiddle, so Spyro is the fourth fiddle, I guess. Look, I don't know the exact number of fiddles — all I know is that there are a lot of them, and Spyro definitely isn't the leader of this entirely fiddle-based orchestra. With Spyro now being given the regenerative powers previously afforded to Crash, it got me thinking about the other PlayStation-era mascots who deserve a similar treatment. With that being said, here are 10 mascots from the PlayStation generation that need their own … [Read more...] about Top 10 PlayStation-era Mascots That Deserve the Spyro Reignited Trilogy Treatment
Fortnite Gets the Honest Trailer Treatment
Without a doubt, Epic Games and People Can Fly’s multiplayer survival sandbox title Fortnite has become a gaming sensation, as the game has managed to garner upwards of 20 million users while smashing concurrent player records of competitors such as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Considering its popularity, the fine folks over at Smosh Games have decided to set their targets on the title by giving it the Honest Game Trailer treatment. As seen below in Fortnite‘s Honest Game Trailer, Smosh starts out with its explanation regarding how the title from Epic Games and People Can Fly “took the Internet by storm by mashing together 3 things gamers love: Minecraft, PUBG, and blatant ripoffs.” The footage then goes on to break down Fortnite‘s Save the World mode in silly and meticulous detail, until the narrator admits, “Who are we kidding? We’re not playing this mode.” The rest of Smosh Games’ Honest Trailer for Fortnite essentially … [Read more...] about Fortnite Gets the Honest Trailer Treatment
Monster Hunter World Gets Honest Trailer Treatment
With Monster Hunter World having received near-universal acclaim from fans and critics alike – our own review of the game is overwhelmingly positive, for instance – one might be under the impression that the title doesn’t have as much inadequate content as usual to provide enough fodder to fill out an Honest Trailer. Despite this, the team over at Smosh Games was able to make it work all the same by using the action-RPG’s strengths as source material for some pretty hilarious jokes and gags. As seen below in the Honest Trailer for Monster Hunter World, Smosh Games’ humor is immediately on point, introducing the action-RPG as a product “from the people that brought you evil houses [Resident Evil], streets that fight [Street Fighter], and crying devils [Devil May Cry]” that has been born out of a “series about a Japanese Jurassic Park.” From there, Smosh comments on the various absurdities of MHW, including its “insanely … [Read more...] about Monster Hunter World Gets Honest Trailer Treatment
