12,000 Fake Nintendo And Sega Consoles To Be Destroyed In Major Retro Gaming Bust



Quote
“Around 12,000 consoles on which more than 47 million pirated video games were illegally stored were seized, for an estimated value of more than €47.5 million (US$52.5 million),” Alessandro Langella, head of the economic crime unit for Turin’s financial police.
The fake retro consoles, meanwhile, were manufactured in China and sold online and in stores, and apparently ran afoul of EU technical and safety standards. Police arrested nine men in connection with the fake consoles, and charged them with trading in counterfeit goods.
It certainly sounds like these counterfeit consoles were your run-of-the-mill emulation devices running stolen ROMs, the type you see pop up at mall kiosks around the holidays—just potentially in plastic housings that ...

Sega's OutRun Gets Fan-Made Lego Kit, And It Could Become A Reality







Quote
Designer Jugles has put together a block-based tribute to Yu Suzuki's 1986 arcade racer, complete with a scenic vista and moving joystick.
"I wanted to try to recreate the iconic starting scene from OutRun Stage 1 aswell as giving it my own twist," the creator says. "The building consists of 1735 bricks forming a diorama playing with perspective. The frame of the build is meant to resemble an arcade machine. The joystick is movable and linked with the car to make it possible to slightly shift the car from side to side."
As with all Lego Ideas pitches, this needs to reach a certain number of user votes before it  ...

Mirage Feathers is an Anime-twist on a Neglected Sega Classic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kt735De5WI







Quote
After Burner creator Yu Suzuki was inspired by the iconic 1986 Tom Cruise film Top Gun, of course, but also Hayao Miyazaki’s Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
"In the beginning, I was thinking of something more like Laputa: Castle in the Sky, something with that science-fiction anime feel. But Sega’s taikan games were to be sold not only in Japan, but in America, Europe, and all over the world. So we ended up switching things to an F-14 fighter jet, something that would be recognizable and approachable for anyone, no matter what country they were from."
Mirage Feathers looks and feels like a collision of After Burner, Suzuki’s original concept, and a distinctly 2024 nostalgia for the anime of the ’80s and ’90s.
In the opening sequence, the heroine shoots down a squad of jets that may as well have flown from Suzuki’s classic, her mechanical wings fluttering like a butterfly’s as she reloads a payload of heat-seeking rockets.
If you ever have desired to ...
