Konami is bringing back a beloved series with the release of a 13-game Goemon collection this summer for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and PC. This compilation, titled “Ganbare Goemon! Daishuugou,” showcases classic titles from the Famicom, Super Famicom, and Game Boy eras, making it a must-have for retro gaming enthusiasts. However, its worth noting that the collection is currently only set for release in Japan, which raises questions about accessibility for international fans.

In a surprising turn of events, NetEase has decided to cancel the much-anticipated retro-futuristic adventure game, The Midnight Riders, developed by Bad Brain Game Studios. This decision comes as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative within the company, leaving fans and developers alike disheartened. The game, which promised a nostalgic journey through a Stranger Things-esque narrative, had garnered attention for its unique blend of 1980s aesthetics and thrilling gameplay. Despite the cancellation, Bad Brain’s head, Sean Crooks, remains hopeful.
