August 22nd week in review
A look back at this week's biggest retro gaming news, from impossible Commodore 64 ports to a new Kingdom Hearts anime.
It was a busy week for retro enthusiasts and preservationists alike. From impossible ports running on stock 1980s hardware to long-lost anime pilots finally getting a green light, the classic gaming scene had plenty of surprises. Here is a look at the stories we covered over the last few days.
Studio WING's 1988 horror adventure Onryou Senki is out on Switch. The PC-8801 occult detective game arrived on EGGCONSOLE today. It brings paranormal investigations to modern hardware.
Wolfenstein 3D is now fully playable on a stock Commodore 64. Developer Steve McCrea released Wolf64, a complete homebrew port of the classic 1992 shooter. He built the entire game in 6502 assembly for unexpanded hardware.
MiSTer Companion's latest update smooths out disc ripping. Anime0t4ku released version 7.5.3 of MiSTer Companion this week. The update fixes optical drive bugs and ISO creation errors for the FPGA management tool.
Disney and Square Enix are making an original Kingdom Hearts anime. After 24 years of video games and a shelved 2000s pilot, Sora and the gang are getting an official anime series. The show will stream on Disney+.
We will see what next week brings as the fall release schedule starts heating up.
