New Resident Evil comes out in a week. That kind of snuck up on me. I like Leon but I'm starting to suspect that due to him being the assigned combat protagonist means that the game will be deficient in boulder punching.

- Start date
Limited Run Games are partnering with a number of companies to deliver some old school Marvel gaming in the Marvel MaXimum Collection. Headlined by the iconic X-Men Arcade game from Konami, it will be joined by a host of other 8 and 16 bit Marvel games.
It's an...odd selection, to be honest. The collection includes 6 "core" games, with many featuring various ports, for a total of 13 "games". The Sega titles are not present (and are probably worth a collection unto themselves), but the offerings are...scattered. "The best" is already out the window by the inclusion of Silver Surfer, Arcade's Revenge is painfully mediocre regardless the platform. Having the arcade version of Avengers is a boon, and the Spider-Man/Venom brawlers are good fun.
But various partners released a LOT of Marvel stuff in the early 90s. Yeah, most of it sucked, but so did Silver Surfer! It's just..odd..to see this mix without notorioius titles like the Spider-Man Game Boy titles, or the LJN X-Men titles. There's enough left to probably warrant another collection...but you probably have the best of the best already in this collection. There just isn't much left besides Sega's stuff (like the Spider-Man arcade game) to really offer a solid "anchor" to another release.

It's LRG though, so the emulation has a high chance of being bad and it'll be delisted in like two years.
HAHAHAHAHAHA WELCOME TO DIE
Since I’m about the only one here that seems to be interested in Evercade’s retro gaming junk, I’ll keep updating here:
They announced two new collections: Mega Cat Studios Collection 3 (modern indie retro games) and Activision Collection 2 (Atari 2600 stuff). I think the Activision Collection has a slightly stronger title mix, but I still balk at $30+ for just 15 2600 games. And STILL no Chopper Command!
But the big announcement was that, after more than a year since the last one, Blaze is adding another entry in their HyperMegaTech Super Pocket line with a Rare focused entry. Headlined by Banjo-Kazooie, the device has 13 additional titles including a number of ZX Spectrum and NES classics, joined by Conker’s Pocket Tales and the SNES version of Battletoads. The device carries the standardized Super Pocket format, thus lacking an analog stick, so that might make Banjo a bit odd to control.

Worth noting that it isn’t uncommon for some titles to appear on the Super Pocket before ending up on an Evercade collection (the Capcom stuff has been the exception, it seems), and they DID announce a new controller with an analog stick, along with other standard USB controller support.

Too bad the movie is kind of mediocre.
Started playing Pokemon Champions. First couple ranks were pretty fun but Ultra Ball onwards is such a slog, with every battle being some variation of Charizard sun, Floette or Archaludon Rain. I really miss the post-game battle facilities. Dumb AI will be dumb AI but the teams were different every time.
I don't even think adding more Pokemon will fix this since it seems a lot of people are just renting the teams Youtubers use.

Jonkler and Officer Balls are in Lego Batman. This is not a drill.
Played a bit of Resident Evil Requiem to around the halfway point. It’s kind of a mess. The survival horror segments with Grace are really well done, if a bit too scripted but they immediately whiplash to Leon’s action segments that last for like ten minutes tops then switch back.Leon’s also super clunky to handle compared to the RE4 remake for some reason. It’s basically like two half-baked games stitched together.
Also, the chainsaw mechanics are stupid and just exist to give zombies chances to get a lucky shot at you.

You just have to be a parry god, like Leon
Posted this over in the Switch/Nintendo thread, but worth posting here. Atari is reworking the Toy Story games for release on modern devices:
Atari has quietly announced a big Toy Story retro collection coming this October. The Collection will include:
Toy Story (SNES, Gen/MD, Game Boy)
Toy Story 2 (PlayStation 1 and Game Boy Color versions)
Toy Story Racer (PS1 and GBC)
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (PS1 and GBC)
A Bug’s Life (PS1 and GBC)
Also included will be design documents and interviews, inducting with Traveler’s Tales staff and Jim Hanks, Tom Hanks’ cheaper brother (Legit, when Tom isn’t available or too expensive, his brother Jim steps in as a vocal stand in)
In addition, Toy Story 3 is getting a remaster. TS3’s game was notable for its “Toy Box” mode, which was foundation upon which Disney Infinity would be designed from.
The physical copy will include both in a double pack, while you can order either Toy Story 3 OR the Retro Collection separately on digital.
Toy Story: Retro Roundup! & Toy Story 3 Complete Edition
Toy Story: Retro Roundup! and Toy Story 3: Complete Edition are out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. Buy the standalone games or the physical Double Pack from Atari.

Eventually got it down but it's still annoying. I just find it ridiculous how you have to wait for the stupid thing to stop spinning while the zombie AI makes them all run a beeline for it and then force pull the thing straight into their hands.

DESTROY ALL MONSTERS REMASTER
Launching against…GTA 6! The memes have begun…
(Seriously, it’s been humorous to see all the games cramming into late September and October to meet Q4 release schedules…but avoid GTA 6’s release window)
And Atari needs to put down whatever they’re smoking over there because they just announced a Barbie Retro Game collection. Featuring 16 titles stretching from 1991 through 2007, one of the highlights is Barbie Vacation Adventure, an unreleased SNES/Genesis title from 1994/95. In addition, the Switch 1 version will be offered in a deluxe edition with an exclusive Barbie doll featuring an Atari T-Shirt.
