A couple months ago, Nintendo unveiled one of the most impressive options in its 3DS line yet. At the time, European gamers were treated with a New 3DS XL designed to look like the classic SNES system from overseas, but there was no sign the machine would be coming stateside. While some of us (other than the lucky winner of our giveaway) won’t get a chance to own one of those special little SNES Edition consoles Nintendo re-released, the New 3DS XL SNES Edition is now here to fill the void.

Just last month Nintendo announced that most of its classic arcade titles from back in the day would be making their way to Switch. Certainly exciting news for nostalgic gamers, but we are still waiting for a proper, full-blown retro game store for NES and SNES titles, among others. While many of us will have to stick with PC-based emulations, some tinkerers are sick of waiting for an official storefront and less-than-ideal desktop ROMs.
We recently published a detailed breakdown of how to create your very Retro Pi gaming console from scratch using nothing but readily-available consumer products. And just recently we spotted a homemade Nintendo Switch clone designed by Tim Lindquist to play just about any vintage title you can think of.

It is shaping up to be a big holiday season for the Star Wars franchise. The latest entry in the film series is set to hit theaters in mid-December while the sequel to Battlefront is releasing on November 17th for all major gaming consoles. Just last week EA kicked off the early beta for Star Wars Battlefront 2, giving gamers a chance to get a sneak peak at some of the title’s new additions along with a taste of various game modes. While reviews were somewhat lackluster for the initial Battlefront release, it looks as though EA has tidied up most of the rough edges this time around.
Sony certainly seems to think it will be a success this time around considering the new PlayStation bundles it just announced. Both PS4 Pro and the standard version are getting the Star Wars treatment just in time for the holidays with a pair of new limited edition console bundles.
