Eliza's gonna be the very best like no one ever was.

Finally in the kitchen with new art. Eliza's a Pokemon trainer with some of my favorite PKMN I've ever caught playing the games over the decades.

Thx for the good times. #PokemonDay #Pokemon #WIP

That's kinda what it's like with a lot of game franchises from decades ago when they get new games, even when they have more frequent sequels

It's time for Mollie's yearly #Sega shelf update!

Here's my current Genesis/MD collection going into 2026, versus at the start of 2024 and 2022.

Didn't grow a crazy amount over 2025, but last year WAS a great year for new releases, adding 6 new games to my shelf through those alone.

Also, I refuse to accept that I really somehow spent more hours playing Team Sonic Racing than I did Sonic Mania.

But I do also have Sonic Mania on Steam, so if I add up my hours there, it's gotta be more than the 12 hours I put into TSR.

Yep. Call me a major Splatoon fan. Splatoon 2 was my first Switch game and Splatoon 3 is what I easily spent the most time on. That last Frosty Fest was fun, btw.

You played a lot more than me, at least on Switch.

My 2025 year in review with Nintendo Switch. I played 37 games last year for a total of 295 hours, and my favorite game I tried last year was Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory.

This game really reminded me why I used to love Kingdom Hearts so much in my teenage years. The music sure took me back. I really wanna play through all those games again.

I think this is the only surviving piece from a neurotically yours fan cartoon I was working on in '23, where Da Hatta would introduce Foamy to sugar on grits then Foamy dies from squirrel diabetes. Unfortunately I seem to have lost the files.

A small little bit of both advice and a plea for using Bluesky.

This platform doesn't have an algorithm for content.

If your default response to seeing something cool is to hit like, take a second to hit the Repost button too.

Especially if it's a cool indie product, a show, some art, whatever.

I'm looking forward to a lot more news to write about and a lot of my own creative endeavors to show you all in 2026. I'm still having a hard time right now, but once I'm ready to heal, I'll get busy. Everyone have a good 2026 and Godspeed.

Finally, here's my favorite article of the whole year. I've been really interested in Sega Channel for years and I was so excited to see all this stuff made public all at once. I tried a lot of ROMs for myself and took my own screenshots too. Maui Mallard is plenty fun.

I was really happy to talk about this on SegaBits. I write about a lot of indie Genesis games, so I loved being able to write about something that can help others make a game of their own. Maybe I'll make a game with this one day if I come up with any ideas?

Earthion was such a great game and I was so happy I got it for free to review. I really hope I can do more than one reviews this year, though. I took a long time playing the game and writing down my thoughts before writing. Maybe I can make this easier on myself?

New Chao Garden inspired indie game, Star Garden, launches Kickstarter and downloadable demo Hey, Sonic fans. You miss the Chao Garden. I miss the Chao Garden. We all miss the Chao Garden. …

I was really looking forward to writing about this when I learned it was in the works months before. I just didn't expect it to be as big of a success on Kickstarter as it was, but I think it deserves it. I loved playing the demo online with people in their discord too.

Atari CEO Wade Rosen expresses desire to remaster Panzer Dragoon Saga and Snatcher Have you played your Atari today? A better question would be

I've been pretty enthusiastic about Atari lately, so I was glad to find some excuse to write about them. Some weirdo in the comments really didn't like me calling the company Atari instead of their former title Infogrames, though.

Indie Genesis/Mega-Drive developer Kai Magazine Software caught tracing artwork in their games When someone who loves developers making new games for old consoles as much as I do has somethin…

This came as kind of a shock to me when I first heard about this. I'll admit, something about Kai Magazine's games did always give me a big feeling of an air of cheapness, but I didn't expect such blatant art theft. Special thanks to @krokodyl.bsky.social for noticing.

Counter to the SuperSega, I'm really excited for Gamescare's FPGA Genesis. I'm certainly gonna pre-order one of my own when I can and I look forward to writing about it after it's out.

@melodieszone.bsky.social actually contacted us asking us to write this one and, as luck would have it, I already listened to their live lo-fi radio stations on YouTube all the time and was already a fan. I did not know this album was coming before they reached out tho.

Dreamcast online shooter Outtrigger now back online thanks to Dreamcast Live https://youtu.be/5ZFyzO3oDsEWe're live with a new Dreamcast Live update, as Outtrigger's online …

Outtrigger was one of the first couple of games I bought when I got a Dreamcast long ago. I'd never heard of it before then, but I loved it when I finally tried it. I never dreamed it'd be back online one day. I gotta make a DreamPi sometime and take this online.

Supersega’s long, crazy history as a crowdfunding scam [caption id=

I felt this was my most important article of 2025. Back in 2024, I wrote about the announcement of the SuperSega and I admit I was a bit excited. I ignored a lot of signs that it was a scam until I couldn't ignore them anymore. This was me making up for that.
