Sega may have uncovered the cheapest form of time-travel there is with the Sega Genesis Mini. Take one look at its box and you’re suddenly yanked by the neck to another place entirely (1991, for most); a place where Pogs are still cool and everyone has a Tamagotchi they’ve forgotten …

Lately, Nintendo is getting some grief from gamers for how it’s handling the Wii U post-launch, but how bad can a company be if it charges 30 cents for a game like Super Metroid? Ranked third on our list of the best games ever, the SNES classic just arrived on …

Nintendo just announced a brand new Legend of Zelda for 3DS (opens in new tab), and any new Zelda info makes us more than a little nostalgic. So we dusted off our NES and plugged in the original Legend of Zelda to test our skills. GamesRadar editors Henry and Cooper …

As you may have heard LucasArts is no more (opens in new tab), and we’re celebrating it’s passing by creating a Jedi funeral pyre in this week’s RadarPlays Retro. We plugged in a favorite from our childhood, Super Return of the Jedi, and found out it was way harder than …

Sometimes, we’re shocked by how bad old games often are. But it takes a special kind of bad to be this bad. This is Virtual Hydlide, the 1995 3D sequel to an ancient NES and MSX game that nobody remembers. It was bad at the time. Now, it’s absolutely shocking. …

It makes us feel warm and fuzzy to know that someone, somewhere is still making games for Sega Dreamcast. It doesn’t really matter that said games look like Mega Drive platformers and could probably run perfectly well on a Game Boy Advance. Fact is, a new star is shining in …

Chrono Trigger, the 1995 Squaresoft SNES title that nobody in their right mind dislikes, is now available on Android devices. The game, like the recent iOS version, is taken from 2008’s DS port, meaning that title’s extras and side-quests remain available for mobile players. So far, Chrono Trigger’s available through …

DIZZY IS BACK! *tumbleweed* THE FIRST GAMEPLAY TRAILER IS IN *bell tolls in the distance* Right, everyone put down what you’re doing – we need to have a little chat. I know that few people outside the UK ever really got to play Dizzy games and I know that his …

There’s a Killer Instinct arcade cabinet in the food hall of the mall we’re in. Killer-goddamn-Instinct. As a mid-’90s Nintendo fanboy, this is an unbelievable sight. I’ve been following Rare’s first fighting game with incredulous wonder for quite some time, not expecting to actually get to play it for God …
