Have a very Mario Christmas!
Yes, I know, it’s not very original. The use of the name Mario—in place of Merry—is probably as old as the video game that spawned the pudgy red jumper-clad plumber. I just thought it proper to use the line for this very festive occasion, especially since this blog is about … More »

Happy Birthday Sonic!
1532 days ago by alewing | 26 CommentsThat’s right, today is Sonic the Hedgehog’s 15th anniversary!
I can’t believe it’s been 15 whole years since I first played Sonic the Hedgehog on my trusty old Mega Drive.
We’d picked up a copy of Mean Machines (before it became Mean Machines Sega) and saw the review of Sonic’s console debut. … More » -
What on Earth is this?
1536 days ago by Staff | 8 CommentsWhat’s that? A redesign on the cards? A better Re:Retro?
Whatever next?!
I’m not sure when it’s happening, but I’ve nearly finished the template… Once I’ve got the go ahead I’ll drop the new skin on this blizzog (blizog?)… I’m also mentioning it because I really like that picture :o)
Stick around and … More » -
ZOMG WTF PSX RIP!
In startling news, Sony realised recently that they replaced the Playstation six damn years ago, and as such don’t need to make it (or the PSone) anymore.
What took them so long? If they were still selling thousands of them then fair enough, but what with the PS3’s release in the … More » -
New blog: Games Industry Wire!
Aww yeah! It’s time once again to welcome another blog to the b5 media games channel.
Games Industry Wire is a blog written by our newest games blogger Justin Tippins and it concerns, oddly enough, the games industry itself rather than the games it produces…
There will be interviews, analysis, news… Oh! … More » -
Room Play launched!
1653 days ago by Staff | 2 CommentsFellow retro game blogger Racketboy has finally launched his latest blogging project, “Room Play“.
I want to cover the things that will enhance a gamer’s gaming environment while throwing in some things that could be thought of as a gamer’s HGTV. :)
As is the way with such a great blogger, there … More » -

I wouldn’t normally make a post like this, but this is still a new blog (less than a month old) and a story I posted earlier has made the front page of Digg by proxy… I’m just so pleased with the whole thing that not only could I … More » -

That’s right, Re:Retro is now a real blog that’s ready to go! If this is your first time here, welcome! My name is Jonic, and this is Re:Retro, which will become a prime source of retro gaming … More » -
Mega Drive vs. Genesis
1689 days ago by Staff | 10 CommentsI’ve been thinking about this for a while now. Which name should I use for the Mega Drive/Genesis?
Of course it won’t make sense to use the two interchangeably, so I’ve to pick one and stick to it.
It may not be a secret to you that I’m in the UK, so … More » -
Welcome to Re:Retro!
1716 days ago by Staff | 27 CommentsHello!
My name’s Jonic and I’m the writer of Re:Retro, welcome!
Re:Retro is a blog that deals with, predictably enough, retro games. However, here I’ll also be covering video games that are now all grown up and have titles on the shelves today (see Sonic, Mario, Metroid, Prince of Persia, TLoZ etc), … More »
