We have our first Sega Genesis / Mega Drive physical release announcement of 2025!

Retro-bit is bringing us P-47 II MD, a game originally finished and intended for release by Jaleco 35 years ago before its launch was cancelled.

(No update yet on Retro-bit's temporarily-paused second Toaplan […]

It's that time again!

Here's my Genesis & Mega Drive collection as of January 2025, versus the starts of 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Pretty big boost to my Japanese games due to my trip last summer, and got a couple cheap bundles on the Genesis side.

As the year comes to a close, 2024 saw 12 new physical releases come to the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive.

We got four brand new games, seven reprints, and one promotional "game" for the third Sonic movie.

The full list here—and let me know if I've missed anything!

Unbelievably, 35 years after its US launch, there are enough new games coming for the Sega Genesis that it can be hard to keep track.

Now, you don't have to! I've launched the Mega Drive Tracker, a site that catalogs all the new physical releases coming to […]

Might I interest you in almost 16-and-a-half minutes of Data East talking about why the characters from Fighter's History are not copies of those from Street Fighter II?

I want to talk more about one of the really cool parts of this campaign—the companion website I built—a bit later, but for now, the big project I've been working on this year has finally been announced!

We picked up a neat mid-century bookcase over the weekend for a paltry $5, which meant that, after putting it in the living room, there was finally a place to store some of our media collection.

I decided to stick to only one shelf, so here's what made the cut:

Don't know what everyone was freaking out over yesterday. I've already got that 30th anniversary #Playstation with the pro controller. No big deal. 🤷‍♀️

Today we have one of my dumbest video game purchases ever: DS Terebi, an accessory for watching TV on a #nintendods that is useless in the States (and maybe now Japan), and DSvision, an accessory for getting content from a media service that I believe no longer […]

Somewhere out there is a universe where the #PSP used MiniDiscs instead of UMDs—and that universe has world peace right now.

Thanks a lot our universe Sony.

Hey Capcom, stop trying to make my Dreamcast collection obsolete ya jerks!

Confirmed the games in the MVS cab that Terry is playing in #StreetFighter6 are indeed King of the Monsters and Savage Reign.

As as friend and I were talking about, though, would be amazing if they randomized the games displayed there.

After a good cleaning, the “junk” Super Famicom I bought for $3.55 works like a charm!

A stack of 13 Mega Drive games and a Super Famicom for $3.55 are just the start of what I picked up while shopping in Japan this summer.

See everything I snagged below!

I guess there was no better way to cap off a day when I bought a Mega Drive than by also buying a Super Famicom. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It was $3.50, so I figured, what the hell.

I already have three Model 1 Genesis consoles at home.

So what did I just do? Buy a Model 1 Mega Drive. 😅

From best I can tell, it’s a VA0, which means it’s a pretty rare model. One of the early batch that only came out in Japan that had extra hardware […]

So crazy to look back at EGM issue 16's #segagenesis reviews and see Super Monaco GP—which, I mean, is a great game—beat out BOTH Strider and Thunder Force III score-wise.

I got Xbox Game Room working again!

Sadly though, the only game I ever purchased was Pitfall, so my arcade is pretty empty beyond that and some decorations.

Just over a month out from the 35th anniversary of the console’s launch in North America, and here I am receiving yet another new release for the #segagenesis.

Anybody know anyone knowledgable in the Pokemon TCG community? I've heard conflicting opinions on if these Pikachu cards I have are worth money or not, and I have zero idea what to do about even potentially selling them. (TCGPlayer app shows this card has zero […]
