Retro Games, a company known for its upgraded revivals of iconic '80s and '90s era computers, including the Commodore 64 and Amiga, has announced that it's bringing back another accessory from the same era. If you grew up gaming before the NES hit the US, you were probably using (or drooling over) the Quickshot II. Now, you can get a recreation of the popular controller for £29.99, or around $40. It is expected to be available starting on January 30th, 2026.

Now, decades after the games were released, a Pokemon fan has discovered that they left Pokemon Blue unopened in their closet for decades, and it may be worth thousands. Reddit user Sausagenpeppers recently shared a photo of their unopened Pokemon Blue (via Automaton), which still has a K-B Toys price tag on it.
