It might look familiar but the GameShell is a portable game console with characteristics unlike any other. The open source portable gaming system is a modular console embedded with a GNU/LINUX OS. Programmers can use...

SEGA Genesis Mini too small for your Thanos-sized hands? Good news! The Capcom Home Arcade is a full-sized - maybe even oversized - retro gaming console also coming your way this fall. Set to release on October 25, 2019...

Did Sega want to make a SEGA Genesis Mini console, or did they just feel compelled to follow financial suit after Nintendo and PlayStation did it? A little something for the fans and, uh, collectors of miniatures?...

Jason of JF Cade hunts down and upcycles classic briefcases into cases for his retro-inspired portable arcades. Use an 80s era Samsonite to look like a trendsetting professional on the outside, and then pop open the front...

It's not likely you'll find yourself screen-less with a Nintendo Switch in hand no matter where you travel. And I'm not just talking about the 6" single-player screen built into the console itself. TVs and monitors are...

Switch your Switch up with a pair of shiny new wireless Nintendo Switch controllers. Made to complement classic titles and Nintendo's September 18, 2018 launch of its Nintendo Switch Online service, the controllers mimic...

The PocketSprite is retro gaming for your skinny jeans. Nintendo Game Boy on your keychain. Sega Master System sized for the sonic speed thumbs of today's texting youth*. The portable gaming and emulation console gives...

Yuichiro Katsumoto created the Bottomless Joystick - still in concept / prototype phases - as a way for users to leave the ground during VR games and simulations. "The ground" in this case would be the joystick's trademark...

I think I'll focus on the "+" designation in the Nintendo Labo Robot Kit for Switch's suggested age range of "6+." Both it and the Labo Variety Kit are set to release on April 20, 2018, and even though they're seemingly...

I like how the plug for this handheld version of Oregon Trail (best Apple IIGS computer game ever!) is "Learn about the realities of 19th-century pioneer life on the Oregon Trail." Because when I used to play it, learn...

With an R-Kaid-R (Arcader) you'll be able to race Mario in his kart, munch Pac-Man through his maze, and fight off centipedes just like the good ol' days from your portable, handmade, very limited edition...and almost...

THEC64 Mini puts tech-nostalgia in the palm of your hand. Who was around when the Commodore 64 launched in 1982? Playing some Lode Runner after school with some Shark Bite fruit snacks and a Capri Sun? Ahhh, gone are...

8Bitdo brings back the sexy purples and gray of the original SNES with their SN30 Pro Game Controller. Packed with wireless Bluetooth, Rumble vibration, motion controls, and USB-C, the new retro controller brings back...

Mattel's handheld Classic Football gets sized for even smaller hands in this mini version of the iconic 70s game. Calling it a "keychain" is a bit of a stretch - unless you like stuffing keychains the size of Little Debbie...

ColorWare's Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Classic Controllers are pretty fly for a game guy. And also pretty pricey for a paint job. I don't care how precise and professional the controllers look, or how hard their red retro...

The Tiny Arcade goes handheld. Tiny Circuits' TinyScreen Video Game Kit gives DIY gamers the chance to build their own miniature console. At the heart of the kit is the TinyDuino processor board, an Arduino Uno board...

Tiny Arcade retro cabinets aren't just small enough to play from your desktop, they're small enough to play from the palm of your hand. If you have tiny hands. And the delicate, dextrous fingers of a child prodigy harpist...

GAEMS calls its Vanguard a "premier Personal Gaming Environment (PGE)" and I hope they're right because to me it just looks like a TV screen and some speakers built into a briefcase. To give them the benefit of the doubt...

No, the Teslasuit is not for racing your Tesla. Or, more realistically, the Teslasuit is not a 3-piece Armani with embroidered logos and a gold-threaded pocket square to wear while cruising your Model S around the suburbs...

It started shipping only a couple days ago, but Alienware's "substitute" Steam Machine, the Alpha PC gaming series, has already gotten a lot of ambivalent feedback from blog reviewers and buyers alike. Me? Well, my mama...

Gamebuino. It's like Gameboy & Arduino's bambino. And it really is Aurelien Rodot's bambino. He came up with the idea for Gamebuino shortly after putting together a "quick and dirty" handheld console one weekend last...

Just like the Mach series, this Razer Blade keeps one-upping itself. The company's new 14" gaming laptop improves upon the last generation most notably in the arenas of color, clarity, and control. Razer touts its latest...

My 13-year-old nephew has had gamer rage for, like, 5 years now. Oh man, he used to get SO MAD when the levels got harder in Super Mario Galaxy. Sometimes, if he knew he was about to die, he'd pause the game, hurl the...
