EmulationPowKiddyEmulation HandheldsReviewsHardware ReviewsAt just $50, this is well worth a lookIt feels like we're drowning in GBA SP-style clamshell emulation handhelds these days, and PowKiddy is adding yet another one to the mix: the V90S, an update of its earlier V90 effort.

Capcom certainly isn't short of cash these days, and is very good at keeping its vast catalogue of games alive, be it via brand-new entries (like Street Fighter 6) or retro collections (such as Capcom Arcade Stadium and Capcom Fighting Collection 2). However, given the company's decades of history, there are bound to be franchises and IP that fans feel could use a new lease of life, and, as it turns out, we almost got some timely reboots around a decade ago.

We've been following the G’AIM’E light gun for a while now, and with good reason—it promises to bring old-school light gun action to modern-day TVs via the "magic" of AI, and even has the backing of Bandai Namco.

The first Loaded launched soon after the original PlayStation arrived in Europe and was considered to be a pretty solid representation of the console's power, showcasing real-time lighting and smooth 3D action.

Barcode BattlerRandomMetroidNintendoCould Nintendo have made the system a global hit? I recently covered the glorious '90s relic that was the Barcode Battler on this very site, and it apparently inspired one of our "readers" to do something a little out of the ordinary. Not long after our piece went live, a package arrived at Time Extension Towers from a mysterious individual named Zack Joseph Zanin, who claimed to have worked at Tomy (the UK distributor of the Barcode Battler) in the early '90s.
