Creator: Retro Fighters Platform: NES, PC Price: $44.99 MSRP When I first heard of the Retro Fighters Jab Gamepad, my mind began to race. A classic NES controller with a modern redesign and dual functionality on—get this—the NES and PC. As a man who cut [...]

I cannot believe we live in an age with the audacity to bring back a technology that was cool in the early 90’s. I remember going to an arcade where a boy was strapped into a VR headset, surrounded by a mini guard rail and standing on a platform. He [...]
