The Famicom (the Japanese version of the Nes) is turning 40 in 2023. While 40 isn’t quite as old as it used to be when we’re talking about people, it’s pretty much ancient for any piece of technology. The Famicom/Nes were released at a time when people were debating over Betamax vs. VHS, rocking out on their Sony Walkmans, and checking the time on their Casio watches. It’s natural that many of the games made for the Nes will not have aged that well in the grand scheme of things. Of course, that makes it that much more impressive that there are some Nes games that have actually aged incredibly well.
What does it mean for an Nes game to age well? The answer to that question will vary from person to person. For me, though, a game ages well when you can play it today and not...

While the Nintendo Switch’s online collection of retro games never seems to grow as fast as anyone would like, the subscription service currently includes a pretty impressive overall collection of retro hits and obscure curiosities. Even better, the latest update to that service finally brings one of the most underrated Sega Genesis games to a wider audience.
Actually, the most recent Nintendo Switch Online update is entirely focused on Sega Genesis games. While that does mean that you’ll need to subscribe to Switch Online’s Expansion Pack service to access these recently added games, it’s nice to see Nintendo give the Genesis library some love given the once heated hardware battles between Sega and Nintendo.
Obviously, Earthworm Jim is the “headliner” of this particular update. Not only is that game still beloved by many for its strange humor and fascinating level design, but it’s nice to...

Everyone loves a good deal, and over the past few months, all the major players in the gaming industry have been doing their best to ensure that folks don’t have to shell out too much money to enjoy some top tier titles. Be it Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo or a whole host of other companies, we’ve seen a lot of discounts and sales lately covering tons of different games across many, many genres.
Perhaps the most generous, however, has been Sony, who consistently offer up new deals that are simply too good to resist, and today is no different. Currently, there are 67 – yes, 67 – games available on the PlayStation 4 that can be yours for less than $5. And while some of these may be forgettable titles that didn’t make much of an impact upon their release, there are certainly a few gems here that are well worth the price they’re selling for.

We’ve had a ton of money-saving sales hitting the PlayStation Store lately. From a trio of deep discounts on the Japanese company’s online storefront to a handful of cool indie games getting slashed to just $2, there’s bound to be a title somewhere in Sony’s latest offerings that’ll make you want to plump down some of your hard-earned cash. But wait, that’s not all. Indeed, a brand new sale has just hit the PlayStation 4.
Specifically, the Big In Japan sale features hundreds of discounts on a multitude of Eastern-developed titles. And for your perusal, we’ve helped narrow down the list to just seven games. The best part? They’re all priced for less than $5. Good times, indeed.
Firstly, we have a modern port of 2002’s Resident Evil HD remake for $4.99. Not only is this classic survival horror at its best, but it’s also...
