Welcome to this week's Games Update, our weekly summary featuring all new product arrivals from the last seven days.
Although new games are coming out every day, classic games, especially those that marked a change in the direction of the development of a genre are never forgotten.
However, due to ageing, your existing classic systems or the game catridges may have stopped working, to bring an end to this problem AtGames released the
Sega Mega Drive Twin Pad Player for you to revive the Sega 16 bit era.
Aside from the system problems, AtGames solves your catridge issues. The Player does not only play existing Mega Drive catridges, but a new line of specifically designed
RedKid catridges and multi-game compilations as well. Now you have both the system and a chance of replacing your well loved but malfunctioning catridges.
SNK Playmore, likewise, is engaged in a project of reviving their classic NeoGeo games on newer consoles. The Samurai Spirits series marks a change in the development of the hack and slash fighting genre, and six of these installments are taken and formed into a compilation called Samurai Spirits Anthology [
