Retro  The Forgotten Satellaview Sequel To Famicom Detective Club

When Nintendo announced back in 2019 that it was releasing a pair of remakes of the Famicom Detective Club games The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind — and better yet that they were being published internationally — it initially came as a bit of a shock. The series, which had originally debuted on the Famicom Disk System back in 1988, had up until that point never received an official English localization, with only a few diehard fans outside of Japan having had some experience with the mystery titles thanks to the 2004 fan translation of the 1998 SNES remake of The Girl Who Stands Behind. As a result, they weren't exactly a prime contender for undergoing the remake treatment, lacking the name recognition of, say, a Zelda...

Retro  Cronela's Mansion Is A Maniac Mansion Style Point 'N Click Coming To Retro Machines

We're huge fans of point-and-click adventure games here at Time Extension, with Lucasfilm Games' Maniac Mansion ranking high on the list of our favourite games in the genre. So when we learned about Cronela's Mansion — an upcoming adventure game inspired by the classic 1987 graphic adventure — we couldn't help but take notice. The game is the work of Straynus, a homebrew developer apparently based in Spain, and is being built for a range of retro and modern machines including NES, SNES, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy/Game Boy Color, PC/MS-DOS, and Nintendo Switch. It was originally revealed back in February of this year and will be funded on Kickstarter sometime this Summer. We first came across the project thanks to Straynus's constant...

Retro Indie  Mullet Madjack Is A New Retro FPS Inspired By Classic '80s & '90s Anime

If you have an affinity for the late '80s and early-to-mid '90s anime aesthetic and retro first-person shooters, then, boy, do we have the game for you. Mullet Madjack is an upcoming Steam game from the Brazilian developer Hammer95 that is releasing later this month on May 15th and only recently came to our attention, thanks to its impressive launch date trailer. It mixes frantic gunplay with phenomenal cyberpunk visuals and hearkens back to a time when streaming sites were non-existent and anime was primarily distributed on VHS tape. The game takes in 2090 in a world where man and the internet have merged into one and where people need a sudden burst of dopamine every 10 seconds to survive. Players step into the role of a moderator...

After rumour got out about an upcoming NES Edition release for the famed Nintendo World Championships, Nintendo has officially unveiled the new game, titled "Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition".

Translation Retro  Japan-exclusive Genesis game "The Hybrid Front" is getting an English fan translation

The Fourth Generation of videogame consoles, comprising the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive primarily, had a strong number of censored content in several games, and even entire games and franchises that didn't even saw the light of day outside Japan. One such case was that of "The Hybrid Front", a turn-based strategy game released back in 1994 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, which involved a rather complex plot regarding the worldwide depletion of fossil oil, social instability, with several wars that rising from those conflicts, with a corporate power taking control over the planet. The game plays in a very similar fashion to that of Fire Emblen and Advance Wars, for those familiar with those...

Retro  Sega Saturn Is Getting A Fan-Made Remake Of Revenge Of Shinobi

The Sega Mega Drive / Genesis classic Revenge of Shinobi is getting a fan-made "remake" on the 32-bit Sega Saturn. Coded by Pigsy (the same person who is bringing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night to the Mega Drive) using Johannes Fetz's JoEngine, this update will boast more background layers, improved colours, better animation, a CD-quality soundtrack and "more open" level design. Originally released in Japan as The Super Shinobi in 1989, the game is a sequel to the 1987 arcade release Shinobi. A dazzling showcase of the Mega Drive's power, it also boasts an incredible soundtrack from Yuzo Koshiro.
