Yeah that PS1 Classic was released at a time when I was doing a lot of promotion on the retrogame scene and appearing on various convention panels, live streams with big youtubers, etc for Retro Unlim and Ministry of Retro Gaming, and I was so hyped when it was first announced, and so visibly disgusted and angered when it actually released in the state it did. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — May 25

Naturally, there are going to be questions regarding the Zelda series' timeline and when the movie would take place. For the purpose of this feature, we're going to assume that the movie will take place during the era of Breath of the Wild and this year's big follow-up, Tears of the Kingdom. Link Things also got divisive when it came to casting Ganondorf. He needs to be somebody fearsome, somebody who's worthy of representing the King of Evil. However, he also needs to be somebody to fit more recent trends of Ganondorf as… and we can't believe we're saying this… a sex symbol. Disney Speedstorm (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — April 18 (early access)The Timeless Adventures of Hazel Witch" (coming out in maybe 18 monthsish) My biggest project, about a little girl witch and her friendly pet bat Chirp. When you are in indoor areas (many castles, her Hogwarts style school, villages with houses etc) its a metroidvania similar to "Symphony of the Night" with full rpg style upgrades, weapon and magic system etc, and with Dizzy/Resident Evil style invetory puzzles, but in outside areas its more like a Sonic style platformer, or a Cotton style shmup when she's on her broom. Its also fully voice acted with a story, similar to Freedom Planet. We have big plans for Hazel, hopefully many games in the series (ala the Dizzy games), merch including plushies, comics and either an animated series or movie - my "day job" is I'm a movie & TV producer. Thanks again for the kind words. I too am the most excited for Sonic Superstars, Mario Wonder, and Mario RPG. Those were the games that made this recent Direct super exciting to me and made me feel a bit like a kid again. Genuinely excited for all of them 🥰 Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — Nov. 17

Yes I played Alex Kidd mostly with the old graphics too, and I can definitely see myself doing that with the new Tomb Raider collection, the chunky polys look nice in HD.Colossal Cave (Mac, Meta Quest 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series X) — Jan. 19

Ristar24 Thank you! No I didn't but I remember seeing that it existed for the C64/Spectrum/Amstrad and wondering if it was related to the Warren Zevon song or the old B-Movie! I just looked it up and I see its got a day night cycle where you play a human during the day and werewolf at night - that's cool! Thank you for the kind words - yes American Pizza is a pretty original game, though it borrows many elements heavily from various retro titles, its all from completely different genres mashed together in a unique way. I think / hope that its fun and different enough to gain people's attention. Theres more details about it in my response to Ristar below. In fact they very rarely allow control remapping at all and this causes all kinds of issues for accessibility for people.The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X) — Aug. 18
