It appears another "gigaleak" has gone down, involving Nintendo. According to sources online, it appears that Game Freak has been hacked, resulting in internal data from the company being leaked to the public. Those involved in the hacking community or those within general Pokemon related groups are claiming that while they will not be discussing or dissecting the specifics within the leak, it initially is being claimed that there is a total of 1TB of data.
This allegedly includes the source code for Pokemon Platinum, source codes for Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, beta builds of Pokemon Black and White 2, beta builds of Pokemon X and Y, and potential internal codenames for upcoming Pokemon projects. Within it are mentions of an...
With some reported turmoil within developer ZA/UM, the future of Disco Elysium is uncertain but the game's former developers have formed a new studio, Dark Math Games, to make what looks like a spiritual successor.

The game has a Steam page which features some additional in-game screenshots:

The SNES core for MiSTer FPGA has been updated with save state support.
While save states are commonplace in software-based emulators, they're harder to execute on FPGA devices, which simulate performance on a hardware level. While some FPGA cores boast save states, they're usually ones for relatively low-level systems, like the NES and Game Boy.
Developer Paulb-nl says his solution "is done in a way that is more like how it would be done on real hardware like with an SD2SNES. It overrides the NMI interrupt and runs some code on the SNES to save the state."
It's not part of the 'stable' MiSTer distribution yet, but you can test it out if you wish. "You will need the attached SNES core and then load the savestates.bin file with "Load...
The MSX2 version of T&E Soft's fantasy shooter Undeadline is heading to the Nintendo Switch on October 17th, as part of D4 Enterprise's EGGCONSOLE series of retro reissues (as spotted by Gosokkyu).
Originally released in 1989 for MSX2/MSX2+, the game was later ported to the X68000 and the Sega Mega Drive and has since received a couple of physical reissues courtesy of BEEP (the MSX2 and X68000 versions specifically).
The game is a vertical shooter that takes place in a land where the boundary between demons and humans has started to erode. It sees players select from one of three heroes (either a fighter, wizard, or a ninja) who are tasked with fending off an army of monsters in the hopes of finding a way to restore peace to the...
Some people wake up easily. I do not. No part of sleep is easy or fun for me: I struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up multiple times nightly. Waking up is made less acceptable when a bleeting phone alarm goes off two feet from your ears. But no more! Today, Nintendo announced Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo. Alarmo is pure Nintendo — it is quirky and colorful, nobody else has done it before, and it will either do exceptionally well or fail miserably. It was also a hardware announcement nobody expected or necessarily wanted, as the masses eagerly await the proper announcement of the Switch's successor.
Alarmo is no ordinary digital alarm clock. Despite its retro-inspired exterior, it's got contemporary technology inside. Its...
Dance could be considered an underrated form of artistic expression, so it is great to see it featured in video games. Dance has the power to heal. Mentari was announced today; it is an action-adventure game with a dance-based combat system. In its world, dancers are seen as second-class citizens. It is a coming-of-age story about self-discovery, connection, and healing.
Developer stellarNull is an Indonesian development team that focuses on creating unique experiences. (Mentari does seem different from today's violent action games.) The team loves retro gaming and is inspired by nostalgic, classic gaming eras — think Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and the original PlayStation. It is...
