Homebrew Is Winning Again + More Retro News!

Homebrew is absolutely on a roll in 2026 ?? Mega Cat Studios is kicking off the year with a triple physical-cart drop for classic Nintendo hardware—Super Fanger (SNES) plus Plyuk and Old Towers (NES). Three new reasons to dust off the old consoles? Yes please. ??

Plus, Nintendo fans get a surprising “free” win: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (a pricey GameCube gem) is essentially available via Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack—but there’s a catch you’ll want to hear about.

And because we’re living our best retro timeline, we take a quick nostalgia detour into forgotten ‘70s hits like Shark Jaws, Sea Wolf, Combat, Space Wars, and Galaxian—games that were huge once… and then poof. ???

? Drop a comment: are you buying modern homebrew on real carts, or sticking to emulation?
