Greetings everyone! Mikhailov here with another look at what games we played this week.
This week, Zu loses all of his free time to a sports game, C_Wag becomes a Ballionaire, and Nick…watches TV?
We’re also interested in what games you’re playing. Use the button below to let us know, and you may be featured in this weekly article.
Zu: EA Sports College Football 25
- Played on: AYN Odin 2 Portal via Streaming
RIP PRODUCTIVITY
Nick: Watching TV, Apparently
Watch live TV on your favorite XX series handhelds
- Played on: Anbernic RG34XX
Testing out IPTV functionality on the new MuOS Pixie release from Zu’s new video. I love anything fun like this that explores the versatility of these handhelds, and pulling up live TV broadcasts on a GBA-like device reminds me of the glory days of the Game Gear TV Tuner. A nice extra little dose of nostalgia.
Dan W: Pikmin
- Played on: Nintendo Switch OLED with Gamesir G8+
As is tradition, playing through one of the RH GOTM games. Having to “slum it” with a g8+ after dropping my Switch and damaging the catch on one of my Joy-Cons which was obviously excessively annoying.
Ban: Tetris (ModRetro Version)
- Played on: GKD Pixel 2
I’m playing Tetris: the one from the Modretro Chromatic. I’m looking for the one Tetris ROM to rule them all. I’m down to this, Rosy Retrospective, and Apotris.
Team Retrogue: Pokemon Unbound
- Played on: Retroid Pocket Mini
I’ve never played a ROM Hack before. I could never get into them, but I started this one on my Retroid Pocket Mini, and I can’t put it down. This game might just be better than modern Pokemon releases!
C_Wag: Ballionaire
- Played on: Lenovo Legion Go S
Ballionaire is basically a strategy game that’s like Plinko. You have to strategically place different “triggers” that have different effects, and you drop the ball down, and depending on how you placed them, you earn money. Some of the triggers get pretty crazy. It’s a fun, fast-paced game that you can pick up and put down.
What YOU’RE Playing
Dominic: Pokemon Crystal Clear
- Played on: Tad Boy Color
This is my first ROM Hack. I’m really enjoying it so far!

Even better with Hypatias HD texture pack!
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Dave the Diver, Metal Slug 4.
Ive been playing FF7Rb for a bit but definitely love to mix it up with retro games. DTD is new but plays like a retro and is great so far! Who can go wrong with the MEtal Slug series??? Working my way thru all of them again, and I love it!
All great games! I loved DTD. Such a fun gameplay loop. I need to go back and play more myself!
Worth it for the free DLC
Super Metroid Redux on the 40xx.
Redux has a “hard” mode and the option to increase gravity so Samus feels similar to the GBA games. It’s a great time 👍
That sounds great! I may need to give the game another try with that. Are playing for GOTM or just for fun? Care if we may feature your answer in our article in the future?
Not at all, please do! 👍
And it’s just for fun. I’ve done one GOTY before but personal life is just a weeee bit busy to finish games (even Super Metroid) in that time window right meow.
Strife, Super Metroid, Devil may Cry. Basically all 3 GOTM I beat. Wendy as well in GOTW. But my banger now is The Godfather for PS2, the offer that I just can’t refuse
All the GOTM are done. Now is Pepsiman on PS1 and K1 World Grand Prix on PS2
did they finally finish the translation of star ocean: blue sphere? or is stubbs playing the unfinished translation that’s been out for a while?
Just finished Pokémon Fire Red on my 35xx SP, and I’m currently playing Outer Wilds in my Steam Deck. What an amazing game!!!
Iron Meat on Ally X Streets of Rage 4 RG556.
Chained Echoes on Steam Deck OLED
Picked it up on sale recently and have been hooked. The retro aesthetic combined with a ton of quality of life improvements over the classics makes it a big win in my book.
How is Vampire Survivors still relevant almost 3 years later? Because they keep adding updates and free DLC, and the DLC is very inexpensive but immensely fun.

I just modded my old OLED Ps Vita not long ago, so right now is Silent Hill Origins. After that:
-Silent Hill Shattered Memories
-Parasite Eve 1-2
-Steins Gate
-Patapon
.. and soo many other cool games.
How to run AM2R on 34XX? And how to do the mod to make it 3:2? I would love to play it.
y’all playing real games, im playing tetris from the chromatic on miyoo flip on the 2 min mode
Midnight Club 3 looking especially crisp on that OLED screen! Wish my RP4P had one like that, can’t upgrade to the 5 just yet but I’ve got Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones to keep me busy till then
Just got a RG-35XX SP, been playing Golden Sun.
A little bit of Doom I – Ultimate on my Miyoo Mini Plus, but mainly a game called trying to get NextUI running on my Trimui Smart Pro (which I did with extra pak’s though ports not working and NDS has a annoying clicking sound glitch)
