Retro-inspired horror fans have something eerie to look forward to as Mouthwashing, prepares to make its way to consoles later this year (presently available on Steam). Drawing inspiration from the low-poly aesthetic of PS1-era survival horror classics, this unsettling title delivers an experience reminiscent of Silent Hill and Resident Evil while introducing its own unique, disturbing narrative.
Developed by indie studio Tooth & Claw, Mouthwashing immerses players in a deeply psychological nightmare where reality twists and shifts unpredictably. The game’s grainy textures, limited lighting, and deliberately awkward controls contribute to the nostalgic yet oppressive atmosphere, transporting players back to the golden age of survival horror.
The story follows a protagonist who finds themselves trapped in an eerie, decayed environment, with cryptic messages and grotesque imagery hinting at a sinister backstory. Players will need to solve puzzles, manage limited resources, and evade terrifying entities while uncovering the dark truths hidden within the game’s surreal world.
The recent surge in low-poly horror titles has proven that classic aesthetics still have a powerful hold on modern gamers. With its unsettling visual style and psychological depth, Mouthwashing looks poised to join the ranks of other successful retro-inspired horror games that have captivated players in recent years.
Tooth & Claw has confirmed that Mouthwashing will be released on multiple platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, ensuring a broad audience can experience its unsettling horrors. Expect more details on a firm release date as we get closer to launch.
For fans of old-school survival horror or those simply looking for an unnerving experience, Mouthwashing is shaping up to be a must-play in 2025.

In an era dominated by digital downloads and streaming, a significant number of enthusiasts continue to cherish physical media, particularly in the realm of retro gaming. A recent survey by Consumer Reports highlights that millions still hold onto items like DVDs, vinyl records, and classic game consoles, underscoring a collective appreciation for tangible media formats.
The allure of physical media in gaming is multifaceted. For many, it’s about the tactile experience—the satisfaction of unboxing a new game, the distinct feel of a cartridge, or the nostalgia evoked by original packaging. Physical copies also offer a sense of ownership and permanence that digital versions can’t match. Unlike digital purchases, which can be delisted or become inaccessible due to licensing issues, physical games remain playable as long as the hardware endures.
Keep em protected!
Moreover, physical media often comes with unique collectibles, commonly known as “feelies.” These can include items like maps, posters, or themed accessories that enhance the gaming experience. For instance, companies like Limited Run Games specialize in producing physical releases of games, complete with such extras, catering to collectors and fans alike.
The resurgence of retro gaming has further fueled interest in physical media. Modern recreations of classic consoles, such as Analogue’s consoles – offer modern games the chance to use original games and media.
While digital gaming offers undeniable convenience, the enduring appeal of physical media lies in its tangibility, nostalgia, and the comprehensive experience it provides. As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, it’s evident that physical formats will maintain a cherished place among enthusiasts.

The highly anticipated SuperStation One from Taki Udon has started to take pre-orders for those who want to get in on this FPGA marvel in a beautiful form factor.
When writing, the black and transparent blue models are available, and the founder’s packages for these colours are still available. I snagged a Black one (pre-orders opened yesterday at 3am European time, but I missed this) for $149.99.

The SuperDock is also available for pre-order, by way of a $5 deposit (so I ordered this as well as it will be nice to have the CD functionality). The website assures me that I will get my dock in the same colour as the console, which is great – and they are stating that the full price will be targetted at $40 – which seems reasonable as well for, the media capabilities and an extra set of connectivity (2 x more USA A slots).
Credit: RetroRemake
It is worth noting that I am not sure how many pre-orders will be taken at this price and the Founders Edition (Mexico) has sold out. For those that do not snag a founders edition, there is also the regular SuperStation One for $179.99.
For those who are interested, shipping was $31 to Spain, and the taxes were pre-charged at $39.06, which is great as paying taxes in other ways is frustrating.

RetroShell: The trusted choice for keeping your gaming relics pristine.
This week has not been very focused on gaming, as I built a new app (more details to be shared very soon), however, I did manage to play Marvel Snap a lot and also get my Analogue Pocket updated with a load of cores and I started to put some ROM’s on it for future reference. I also got accepted to “Stars Reach” pre-Alpha, but do not have a PC to run it. This looks like a good Star Wars Galaxy successor (the 🐐 in my opinion), but let’s see.
This week we have 40 entries to the newsletter, making it the biggest yet. We cover more “new” Game Boy games, updates on the Superstation One (FPGA PS1), a Tang $69 FPGA console, and a load more.

For many enthusiasts, nothing beats the nostalgic thrill of an SNK arcade cabinet—complete with those massive cartridges and the remarkable feel of a dedicated joystick. SNK was known for bold moves in the gaming realm, including their own line of home arcade systems and the underdog Neo Geo Pocket Color. While that little console never truly toppled Nintendo’s Game Boy empire, it left a lasting impression on fans. Now, decades later, one inventive modder known as YCL is rekindling that old arcade magic, shoehorning a Raspberry Pi into a Neo Geo Pocket Color and giving it a modern facelift.
The Spark of an Idea
It’s easy to forget how advanced SNK was back then. They created arcades, they released cutting-edge home consoles, and they tried (sometimes aggressively) to challenge Nintendo in the handheld market. Although those ventures didn’t always dethrone industry giants, SNK’s dedication to joystick design was top-notch. People still rave about the superb feel of Neo Geo controllers—the perfect partner for action and fighting titles.
But hardware that blew minds in the 1990s can feel a bit sluggish these days. That’s where YCL’s cleverness comes in. After tinkering with Raspberry Pi computers for other projects, they wondered: could you squeeze a full-blown arcade experience inside the Neo Geo Pocket Color shell? One that could smoothly run not just classic Neo Geo titles, but other platforms, too?
Building the New Brain
The concept might sound daunting, but the Raspberry Pi is famously flexible—and smaller than you might expect. YCL took what they call an “intelligent design” approach with a custom VS redesign PCB (printed circuit board) that’s open source. The new board fits inside the Neo Geo Pocket Color’s cramped housing, replacing the older internals while maintaining the same general button layout.
But that’s only half the trick. A mere swap of circuit boards wouldn’t be enough to transform the entire handheld. So, YCL also:
• Upgraded the Screen: Out went the original display, in came a wide-angle LCD for bright, crisp visuals. The difference between an aging handheld screen and a modern LCD can be staggering, especially for vibrant arcade titles.
• 3D-Printed Components: From a mini arcade-style joystick to a custom dust cover, certain parts had to be designed from scratch. That includes a new button arrangement, ensuring there are extra inputs for the broader game library the Raspberry Pi can handle.
• Retained the Cartridge Slot: Pure nostalgia, right there. Even if it’s mostly decorative, this detail is a nod to the original design and keeps that retro flair.
• Kept the Battery Compartment: No weird external battery packs or endless wires. The mod still looks and feels tidy, like a commercial product you might’ve picked up off the shelf in 1999.
The Arcade Feel in Your Hands
One of the highlights of SNK’s legacy is the way their joysticks and buttons feel—clicky, sturdy, and ready for combos. YCL knew it was essential to capture that same tactile experience. While it’s challenging to replicate a full arcade stick on a handheld, the modder managed to craft something that comes close, providing a far snappier input mechanism than typical rubber-contact D-pads.
The addition of extra buttons also means you can play games from multiple consoles that often demand shoulder triggers or more face buttons. So whether it’s a classic Neo Geo fighting game, a Genesis platformer, or even older arcade titles, this modded unit is equipped to handle them.
Performance Beyond the Original
This new rig doesn’t merely run a few SNK titles. Thanks to the Raspberry Pi’s capabilities, YCL’s pocket console supports emulators for numerous platforms. Think everything from NES and Mega Drive to older arcade boards that might’ve been beyond the wildest dreams of an actual Neo Geo Pocket.
The modder also incorporated a dedicated audio solution to bring that arcade roar to life. Being able to hear those signature fighting game sound effects—punches, kicks, KOs—on a crisp speaker is a major upgrade compared to the original system’s modest audio output.
Nostalgic Looks, Modern Fun
A big part of the Neo Geo Pocket Color’s charm was its chunky build and distinct shape. Plenty of fans appreciate how comfortable it felt in the hand. YCL’s project remains faithful to the console’s overall look, but peeking inside reveals a powerhouse. It’s a bit like discovering a sports car engine inside an old family sedan: it may look familiar on the outside, but it’s got serious muscle hidden under the hood.
There’s even a nod to physical accessories: you can still connect an official arcade joystick or another controller if you’re hankering for the full arcade experience at home. Talk about bridging eras—a modern emulator hub that still welcomes real arcade sticks.
A Farewell to the Old Hardware
The original Neo Geo Pocket Color, while beloved, had fairly limited hardware. Over time, official support faded. But this modification breathes fresh life into a handheld many considered doomed to be a historical footnote. With today’s technology, you can carry around a mini arcade in your pocket—something that might’ve seemed unthinkable to 90s kids used to big cartridges and thick instruction manuals.
YCL’s mod is a testament to how the retro gaming scene isn’t just about collecting old hardware; it’s also about finding new ways to enjoy and preserve classics. By harnessing the Raspberry Pi and an open-source mindset, enthusiasts continue to prove that the best parts of gaming’s past can shine even brighter when paired with a sprinkle of modern tech.
