HANDS-ON with NEW Time Crisis Light Gun at Long Island Retro 2025

G'AIM'E Campiagn » https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tasseidenki/gaime-plug-and-play-time-crisis-gun-system-for-modern-tvs We sent George to the Long Island Retro Gaming 2025 show to get some in-person, hands-on time with G'AIM'E's new offiically Namco-licensed light gun plug-and-play. Tassei Denki’s vision with G’AIM’E is to take the first step towards reviving classic light-gun controllers. In today’s gaming world, where racing wheels, fight sticks, and other specialized controllers thrive, it feels wrong that light-guns have all but disappeared from the modern games room. @LIRetroGaming @bandainamcoentertainment #retrogaming #namco #genxgrownup - LINKS https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tasseidenki/gaime-plug-and-play-time-crisis-gun-system-for-modern-tvs - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 As Advertised 00:50 Long Island Retro 01:35 First Impressions 02:45 Officially Licensed 03:20 Screens & Config 04:20 The Games 05:25 Bundles 06:35 Foot Pedal 07:35 Gun Feel & Dates 08:30 Summary

Nightdive’s Next Atari Project Could Split Retro Fans in Two + More Retro News!

Atari’s Nightdive Studios is back in the spotlight with a brand-new sci-fi remake built in Unreal Engine 5 — but retro gamers are already debating whether this bold move will elevate the studio’s legacy or stray too far from its roots. In today’s Bit By Bit, we’ll dig into why this project is turning heads (and raising eyebrows). But that’s not all — the resurrected Commodore brand has hinted that the legendary Amiga could be next in line for a comeback, setting the retro scene buzzing with speculation. And if you thought the Xbox 360 was done making headlines, think again — a new USB hacking guide is making the rounds, unlocking surprising capabilities for Microsoft’s beloved mid-2000s console. From ambitious remakes to legendary 16-bit revivals and console modding tricks, this is one episode retro fans won’t want to miss!
