    Now that all 42 Mega Drive Mini games have been confirmed, expect an hour-long video from yer man Scullion explaining them all within the next couple of days. It'll be similar to the SNES Classic one I did before it launched

    Also, the final 12 (not 10) games they announced for the Japanese one are ridiculously good, including Alisia Dragoon and the obscenely rare Tetris (of which only around 10 carts are said to exist). UK/US list will probably differ a bit so let's wait and see.

    The Mega Drive Mini (in Japan at least) will apparently have a mini Mega CD and mini 32X to go alongside it. That's absolutely pointless. I need it.

    I'm telling you, keep an eye on the Amico at E3. I still get the feeling this one's going to be a dark horse: it may not be for everyone but from what I've been told about it I think retro gamers and those with families may be interested.

    Okay Google, win me over. Needs to have competitive pricing: I'm not spending £40 to stream a game I can play locally on other systems, so they'll need to either make games cheaper or offer a Netflix-style monthly fee to get my interest.

    That's month one finished for . With our traffic target well and truly smashed, I understand VGC is officially one of the biggest UK games launches ever. Thanks to everybody who clicked over so far - and see you at E3 X

    Had a listen to this yesterday. It was fascinating to hear. I loved the surprise bit of news at the end too.

    Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for your continued support, and for continuing to keep me relevant at a time where the industry makes me feel more 'tired' and 'old' with every passing day. I love you all to bits: here's to another 13 years of this ❤️
