Review: Evercade Wireless Controller - The Perfect Interface For The Next Era Of Evercade
Cut the cable. The impending arrival of the Evercade Nexus means that Blaze's retro-focused family of systems finally has dual analogue control built-in – but, as long-standing fans will tell you, that's already been possible on the Evercade VS , VS-R and Alpha consoles. Support for third-party dual analogue controllers has been in beta for some time now, and is naturally limited to titles that can make use of such controls.

Among Shadows is a Nightreign-style dark fantasy RPG with a touch of Among Us that makes me think wistfully of Dark Souls at its most treacherous
Among Shadows is the kind of videogame genre arithmetic that often proves less than the sum of its parts, but I'm cautiously enthused by its talk of disease, betrayal and Elden Ring: Nightreign -flavoured swordwizarding. The gist: this is a fantasy action-RPG with an Among Us -style social deduction element. You are a member of the Order of the Secret Fire, sent into a supernaturally blighted region to track down sources of corruption, while looting gear and levelling yourself up. Read more

36 Years After Its Release, Star Cruiser Mega Drive Gets Definitive ROM Hack, Featuring Input From Its Original Designer
Includes bug fixes and movement improvements. Here's something cool for fans of obscure Japanese first-person shooters. A new set of ROM hacks has just dropped for Arsys Software and Masaya's Japan-exclusive Mega Drive port of Star Cruiser , fixing a bunch of bugs with the original game and offering some improvements to movement. Star Cruiser, for context, was a first-person shooter with light RPG elements originally released for the PC-8801 in 1988 and followed a hunter charged with destroying an evil militaristic faction called VOID. Considered an early 3D pioneer for its use of polygonal graphics, the gameplay was primarily divided between planet-based exploration/combat and interplanetary travel, with the story being delivered through ADV-style dialogue with NPCs portrayed as sprites.
