Pokémon Heart & Soul review: Nostalgia with a fresh coat of paint A Johto ROM hack that gets it right

Takun — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:04:09 +0000

On the surface, Pokémon Heart and Soul isn't anything special. The Pokémon ROM hacking scene has its fair share of games based in the Johto region, and these can range from simple quality-of-life improvement hacks like Crystal Legacy to original stories that expand on the existing lore, like Scorched Silver, and everything in between. As beloved as the Johto region is, it has many flaws that make it a prime candidate for ROM hacks to try and fix, but there are only so many changes that can be made before the region starts to lose its identity. It's a tough balancing act that Heart and Soul handles quite well.

This Zelda’s Adventure demake redesigns the CD-i title for the Game Boy Color Zelda's worst game is finally enjoyable

Matt Sholtz — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 18:53:26 +0000

There’s nothing I love more than a good demake, especially if it’s released on the Game Boy. As a matter of fact, demakes are a great way to take older, less popular titles and make them more palatable. For instance, did you know there is a demake of the CD-i game Zelda’s Adventure? John Lay […]

ROM hacks are a big part of the Game Boy scene these days, and even though you may not know the name Marc Max, if you’ve played any of the top hacks out there, you’ve likely enjoyed his work without knowing it. Titles like Dr. Mario DX and the English translation for Mobile Golf (the […]

Limited Run Games teased rumble support for the Super Nintendo back in July, and soon after, the company released the recipe of its secret rumble sauce to the public. You can find it on GitHub, which is where the multi-system emulator Mesen’s developers likely found it, and it has since been incorporated into the emulator […]

You should toss this new Elder Scrolls adventure on a flash cart for your GBC post-haste It's only a demo for now, but it shows promise

Matt Sholtz — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 19:12:07 +0000

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was released in 2002, and its clunky graphics and worn-out gameplay mechanics are certainly showing their age in 2025. Sure, it has earned its place in gaming history, created by a Bethesda that still knew how to make engaging games (looking at you, Starfield). But after 23 years, perhaps a […]

You can finally play Cowboy Bebop: Tsuioku no Serenade in English to celebrate its 20th anniversary The timing of this fan translation couldn't be better

Matt Sholtz — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 20:24:12 +0000

Unless you are really, really into everything Cowboy Bebop, or a Shinichirō Watanabe super stan, then you probably missed the 2005 PS2 release for Cowboy Bebop: Tsuioku no Serenade. It was never translated into English, so the brawling game never officially made its way stateside. But after all these years, just in time for the […]

Matt Sholtz — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 15:13:27 +0000

I’m a huge retro gaming fanatic, and that likely has a lot to do with growing up with these classic games and systems. I especially have a weakness for the Game Boy, and you better believe I’m on top of the console’s resurgence, from endless mods of the OG hardware, to the Funnyplaying FPGBC, Analogue […]
