After several iterations of less-than-stellar mini consoles made by atGames, Sega is finally getting serious and putting out a higher quality miniature retro genesis console, one that is (hopefully!) on par with the likes of the SNES and NES Classic consoles.

Thus far, things are looking quite good, with a great selection of games and a good looking piece of hardware. Here's hoping the actual device lives up to the hype when it comes out in September!

Apple announced three new subscription services today, one for television and movies, one for news, and the last, Apple Arcade, for video games. It's yet another subscription service that you weren't paying for before, but could a curated collection subscription-supported games be exactly what the gaming 'scene' on the App Store needs?

Today Google unveiled their new streaming gaming platform, Stadia. It looks to deliver high quality 4K, 60 fps video games streamed to basically any screen that you own... from your TV to your computer, to your tablet, to your laptop, to even your phone.

If everything works as expected, and the bandwidth requirements aren't too rigorous, this could be a real game-changer. No longer do you have to build a multi-thousand dollar gaming PC to play games in that quality, you just have to have an internet connection and any old device. Alongside the platform, Google announced a Stadia controller, and the first Stadia-enabled game: Doom Eternal.

We'll find out more about Stadia this summer, but it certainly sounds pretty impressive so far!

Netflix is continuing the exploration into interactive fiction that they started with Black Mirror: Bandersnatch last year, launching a new interactive "choose your own adventure" show starring Bear Grylls. The show, called You vs. Wild, will ask viewers to make the correct survival decisions to stay alive in harsh conditions over the course of 8 episodes.

Is interactive fiction like this the future of entertainment, or is it a pointless gimmick? Let's discuss!

Possibly the world's most complicated game Dwarf Fortress will be making it's way to Steam for the first time, and will, for the first time, be receiving graphics! The grame, previously displayed using only ASCII art, will now be getting the full graphics upgrade, in addition to music and sounds. the original Dwarf Fortress will still be available to download for free, if you're into the "pure" experience.

I'm excited that this should mean that more people are exposed to this weird, bizarre, complicated game, more people might stream it, and we might get awesome, easier to understand content revolving around this fascinating game. Can't wait!

After 30 years in one person's collection, an unreleased NES game is finally seeing the light of day. It is a pro wrestling game featuring some big name wrestlers, but it was never released, and never even announced! Youtuber Stephan Reese (Archon 1981) purchased this game and put out the first footage of it on his channel. It looks really good for a game that never saw the light of day! Today on the show we break down the story of the game and speculate about why it was never released, which features a history lesson in World Championship Wrestling.
