New Game - Insane Pain for Sega Genesis & Mega Drive
|
|
  Via Blast Process Games: Insane Pain in development for Sega's 16-bit consoles. It looks rough, and the site is asking for 2D and 3D artists to work on a cartridge-to-be with pre-rendered graphics not unlike Killer Instinct and Donkey Kong Country.
There are no timetables, prices, or really much else beyond some early art but it's worth highlighting for later.

New for NES - Kickstarter for Eyra the Crow Maiden
|
|
  Via Kickstarter: Eyra the Crow Maiden: A new adventure for the Nintendo (NES).
These are the same devs who made Family Picross (and delivered it) so they have a decent track record - but one of their stretch goals is a Sega Genesis port, which is a heck of a stretch goal. Two of their three previous titles have shipped, with the third being due later in 2020 - so that isn't bad.

Orange Island Pre-Orders for NES
|
|
 Via Fangamer: Second chance to pre-order Orange Island. This is a nifty, colorful game that looks like a a seaside pastel Legacy of the Wizard game, but not. Cartridges soundtracks, and other goodies are up for pre-order.
The most inexpensive cartridge-with-box is £45, which oddly does not include the ROM for your PC. For £100 you can get a level with dang near everything - box, coins, manuals, vinyl soundtrack LP, ROM, you name it. In theory this game will ship in the first half of 2020.

Nintendo x Sony Play Station Prototype Auction Is Live
|
|
  Via Heritage Auctions: Nintendo Play Station Super NES CD-ROM Prototype - Sony and Nintendo c. 1992.. This has been touring for a few years and is currently hovering around $13,000. Supposedly the seller has had offers as high as $1.2 million for the piece of hardware, but I would gather it won't go that high at auction right now.

Analogue Mega Sg Adapters Launch, Sell Out
|
|
 Via Analogue: Mega Sg Cartridge Adapter Set $49.99. I was originally pretty excited at the prospect, but they also sold out pretty much immediately - rendering the seemingly high price point moot.
New pre-orders for their "DAC" to output to CRT SD TVs and RGB monitors are also up - so you might want in on that.

Dino-Riders Comes Back Minus Dinosaur Toys
|
|
  Via ToyArk: MV Studios Partners with MFA Collectibles for UK Dino-Riders License. What does that even mean? The press release says their products "will be split into three lines. The first will be a 1/10 Dinosaur & Rider series, the second will be a 1/6 single character series and the third will be a 1/10 Diorama series based on some of the incredible artwork used on the original line."
It's a start. The Dino-Riders trademark was on a few Hot Wheels cars recently, but the classic Tyco toy line has been oddly out of public view for decades - I can't say I'm remotely interested in statues of the humans, but like any license you have to start somewhere.
