The Gamestation Retro Go — My Arcade

My Arcade has unveiled several devices at CES 2025. These are all part of the Gamestation Retro line of hardware, gaming devices that will contain over 100 retro games, including classic titles from Capcom and Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Gamestation Retro products will be available in handheld, console, and tabletop arcade cabinet form. The Gamestation Retro Go is a handheld system that looks a bit like a Nintendo Switch. The gaming handheld has an 8-inch HD display and a rechargeable battery and will retail for $200. Those who prefer to play retro games on their TVs can pick up the Gamestation Retro Pro, a game console with 1080p HDMI output that comes with two wireless controllers and is slightly cheaper with a $150 price tag.

Finally, the Gamestation Retro Mega is a wood-constructed tabletop arcade cabinet with a 10.1-inch HD display and all the joystick, knob, and action buttons you’d need out of an arcade cabinet. It will cost $300. My Arcade is also showing off some other accessories at CES 2025, including the $40 wireless Gamestation Retro Gamepad and the $70 Gamestation Retro Arcade stick.

In the Switch’s final days, Nintendo finally gets serious about eShop moderation

Two men browse the soon to be defunct Wii U eShop.

The Nintendo eShop is notoriously full of shovel ware, money-grabs, and porn games — but the recent disappearance of many adult-oriented titles suggests Nintendo might finally be taking more steps towards moderating the shop. X user Naruki, known for tracking trends across the eShop, first spotted the change.

Despite its family-friendly image, the Nintendo eShop has long been plagued with a frankly astounding amount of NSFW titles. Since the majority of eShop operations are handled by an algorithm, these titles often appear as a great deal or a new release. Even though most are age-gated, the thumbnails are still provocative enough that it raises concern among parents.

This 32-inch gaming monitor is on sale for under $200

LG UltraGear 32-inch QHD Monitor 32GN600-B with gameplay onscreen.

Don't forget to upgrade your rig with monitor deals too after taking advantage of gaming PC deals! However, if you've already used up most of your budget on your new gaming desktop, don't sweat it because you can still get a decent display on a tight budget. The 32-inch LG UltraGear QHD gaming monitor is a great example -- it's already pretty affordable at its original price of $349, but you can currently buy it from Walmart for just $188 following a $161 discount. You're going to have to hurry though, as tomorrow may already be too late to shop this offer.

Why you should buy the 32-inch LG UltraGear QHD gaming monitor
The LG UltraGear QHD gaming monitor isn't going to match up to the features and specifications of the top-of-the-line models of the best gaming monitors, but for its price, it's a very solid screen that will be enough for most gamers to appreciate the graphics of the best PC games. It all starts with the Quad HD resolution on its 32-inch screen, which will show your games with sharp details, and it's also got HDR10 support for rich colors and contrast to enable an immersive experience.

These affordable Nintendo Switch controllers are down to $26

If you've been waiting for the official Joy-Con controllers to appear with discounts from Nintendo Switch deals because you don't want to pay their retail price of $80, it might be time to consider buying a more affordable alternative. Check out the YUOY Switch Controllers, which are already much more affordable at their original price of $50, but they're now down to only $26 following a $24 discount from Walmart. Stocks of the gaming accessories will likely run out quickly, so you should complete your purchase as soon as possible if you don't want to miss out.

Why you should buy the YUOY Switch Controllers
The Joy-Con controllers are one of the most innovative features of the Nintendo Switch, and there are plenty of reasons why you'd want extra pairs -- some titles can support more than two players such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Party Jamboree, and you may want a spare pair as a back-up. However, if you're on a tight budget, the YUOY Switch Controllers are a more affordable alternative. They're compatible with the original version of the console as well as the Nintendo Switch OLED, and they come in a variety of striking colors that match the overall aesthetic of the Nintendo Switch.
