Players take control of two protagonists: Yoko Taro’s android character Noelle, who can transform into a human form, and Kei Shindo’s android character Kainé, who cannot. You can even play it on retro consoles. This game is just nuts.

Upon release, the game received critical acclaim, with critics praising its narrative, characters, soundtrack, graphics, and gameplay. As of October 2019, it is the best-selling original title in the series. A sequel titled NieR Gestalt was announced at E3 2019.

Nostalgia is a powerful sensation, and most people remember how good old times were. Everything was better, from food, childhood to games. However, in reality, it’s hard to compare eras, and while we can debate about the content and gameplay, modern titles are by far more graphically advanced.

That said, we shouldn’t discard the possibility of playing old classics, and the market is flourishing for old iconic gaming consoles. Manufacturers recognized that trend and returned many bellowed products to the market. Here are some of the best old gaming systems brought back to life.

Wielding the Golden Axe on SEGA Genesis

Sega Genesis Mini

Once upon a time, as kids in the early 90s, we played Madden 92 on Sega Mega Drive, and it was awesome. SEGA Genesis Mini is a replica of an old iconic system with the same controllers that feel clunky compared to modern gamepads. You will get 42 games, including Sonic the Headhog, Streets of Rage and Golden Axe. However, unlike the old analog console, the SEGA Genesis replica connects to the TV with an HDMI cable.

If you don’t want to invest in old gaming systems, a free-to-play igaming game, Sega Slots, can help with nostalgia. Slots titles are available on iOS and Android, and every level has a theme from a classic slot SEGA game like Sonic, Shinobi, Golden Ace, Sonic Casino Nights and others. Further bridging the gap between retro gaming and modern online entertainment, games like スターバースト スロット offer a nostalgic yet fresh experience for fans of classic arcade aesthetics.

Nintendo Classic Games on Super NES Classic

A 16-bit version of the Nintendo gaming system from the 90s brings the authentic look and feel of the NES Classic console. The only noticeable flaw is the short cords for the controllers. However, you will get a regular menu and Nintendo software and 20 essential games of the era. Street Fighter, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Kart, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong, and Final Fantasy III are among the most notable games.

Great Concept and Missing Games on PS Classic

Sony PlayStation Classic

Sony released PlayStation Classic, emulating the original first console feel and looks. Raspberry Pi powers the retro console inside a small case, and you get the original controllers. The system is well-balanced, but many high-profile games are missing, although you can find some great PS1 games. For example, suppose you want to play Grand Turismo, Tony Hak, or Tomb Raider. PlayStation Classic comes preloaded with 20 games, including Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 3, and Final Fantasy III.

120 Atari Games

Atari Flashback 8 Gold

Atari Flashback 8 Gold emulates the Atari 2600 system that brought better visuals than Commodore and was a bridge to the start of PC gaming. You will get two joysticks and 120 Atari games like Adventure, Swordquest and Warlords. The games run in an emulator, and you get HD output through HDMI.

Computer in keyboard

C64 Mini

C64 Mini is a retro PC console that emulates Commodore 64. The system has a retro keyboard case with up-to-date outputs. You also get a joystick with a small stick and analogue buttons. Elite is not among the games on the system, but Zynaps, Avengers, Rack and Alleykat are. You can find many arcade side scrollers and platformers, and remember how the gaming world looked in the 80s.

Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis on the Game Boy Advance is probably the worst port of a retro game ever created. It’s so bad that not even die-hard Sonic fans are willing to defend this port.

Sonic’s Fall From Grace

Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis Review

Sega released Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis in 2006, which was two years after the release of the Nintendo DS. It was supposed to be a handheld port of the first game for Sonic’s 15th anniversary.

It would have made more sense to just port the game to the Nintendo DS because it’s obviously a little more powerful than the GBA. Still, the GBA was perfectly capable of running 16-bit games. After all, the Sonic Advance games were pretty good!

The unfortunate reality is that Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis doesn’t run well at all. Sonic is all about being fast, but the Game Boy Advance can’t seem to keep up with blue blur.

The game suffers from significant slow downs. One second you’ll be going fast, and the next second you’ll be slowed to crawl.

Ironically, these problems are exacerbated when you run through loops or grab an invincibility powerup, which is when you’re supposed to be speeding through the level.

Less Than Lightning Fast

You’ll also run into more issues when there are more sprites and effects on the screen, especially enemy explosions.

These performance issues completely ruin the entire point of Sonic. It’s impossible to go fast because the game physically won’t let you.

In fact, it seems like physics engine isn’t even a faithful copy of the original. At times, it seems like jumps are harder to make and secret areas are harder to reach.

However, these issues might also be the result of the aforementioned frame rate issues. It’s hard to tell because this game is just that butchered.

Sounded Better on Genesis

Even the music is completely ruined. I’m a big fan of the original music, but the GBA versions just don’t do it justice. The music sounds more ear-piercing and tinny.

So what’s good about this game? Thankfully, the sprites haven’t been modified that much, if at all. The game actually looks great at first glance. You’d never be able to tell this is a bad port by the screenshots alone, but the problems start as soon as you start playing.

Additionally, this port includes a game mode where you can charge Sonic’s spin dash, which wasn’t added until the second game. It’s a nice addition, but even with the spin dash, you’re still better off playing the original.

I don’t blame Sega for wanting to re-release a classic game, and I’d even understand some minor issues. However, there’s no way to defend this port.

If Sega wanted to re-release Sonic The Hedgehog for Sonic’s 15th anniversary, they could have simply made a better port for the Nintendo DS. Instead, Sonic’s legacy is stained with this terrible port.

Never has it been such a wonderful time to be a gamer, especially a console gamer. The controller options we have today are really out of this world.

Everyone is talking about the Nintendo Switch now that it’s out into the wild. It’s not just a machine that plays The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Although from the headlines around the web you’d be forgiven for thinking that). When they aren’t praising the system though they are dissing it for the many design flaws it seems to have. One of the bigger issues was the switch docks that were scratching peoples precious consoles! Today we have a nice little DIY hack for you if you are the lucky (or unlucky) owner of an old broken N64 – turn that bad boy into a switch dock like Reddit user tettzan777 did!

If you want the deets on how to make your own Switch Dock N64 Mod, tettzan basically widened the cartridge port to fit the Switch’s screen (sans JoyCons) and put some new hardware inside the N64 (after gutting it of course) so it would actually be a *working* dock. He even brought new life to the original N64 controller ports that now sport USB connections for charging! 1-up!

We respect the DIY spirit and from the video you can see it was a worthy sacrifice of a gaming relic! What say you? Let us know in the comments below!

If you are looking to pass some time with a horror puzzle game with retro 8-bit 2D style graphics that is free and doesn’t require internet – Traal is the perfect game.

Go look it up on the google play store or itunes, and load it up – or check out our full gameplay video below (we beat the game if you get stuck, you can cheat and watch, it’s ok.)

GT Plays: Traal – A Retro 2D Horror Puzzle Game For Android (How To Beat Full Game)

Can you survive this pixel dungeon crawler?

In this game fear is your enemy, a mysterious dungeon full of spikes and creepy grotesque nightmarish monsters await you! The gameplay here is pretty innovative, you basically guide your hero with your finger – wherever you drag your hero looks. If you look at a monster, you are in for a scare – so beware! Your hero is scared of everything, monsters mostly scare you into spikes so watch out – you have to navigate this dungeon without SEEING anything (or being seen). Don’t worry though, towards the end you can get a blindfold – that helps a ton! The main objective (other than don’t die) is to find and collect all of the scrolls (12 in all) and once you do you head towards the exit!

This game was originally created in a 48 hour coding competition, so that’s pretty sweet! We’ll give it a break for being a little short under those circumstances. Also, this was originally released as a flash game which you can play yourself online in the browser without downloading anything! It plays pretty much the same but the difficulty of using your finger with touch on your smartphone really adds to the challenge (or frustration).

Design

We love the design, but we are suckers for any 8-bit games, especially new ones on the phone! The colors lend themselves well to the creepy theme Traal is going for – not too much and just enough – almost gives you sort of a Gameboy feel with all the dark green.

Gameplay

While some find it frustrating and hard to control – we really feel it was executed perfectly for the situation, adds just the right amount of challenge and frustration. Traal strikes a good balance and holds our attention with clever puzzles and new paradigms as the game progresses.

Replay Value

Ehhh, once you play it, you are pretty much done – but hopefully the backstory we have given you, and the experience you get playing through it the first time is enough to keep this one in your memories (good ones, not scary ones). If this one wasn’t for you, you can always play some scary horror games here.

Conclusion

For what it is, it’s free, and it’s a fun retro dungeon stealth-em-up crawler to bring back the memories – and if you like creepy salad fingers type stuff, then this is for you.

Give it a try and let us know what you think! If you are patient and steady handed enough you may just escape!
