New Games for the Xbox One

Xbox fans, it's time to try Outbreak: The New Nightmare. Microsoft says:
"Enter an unforgiving survival horror experience as you fight for your life against oppressive odds. The horrors of Arzt Memorial Hospital were just the beginning of the outbreak. As the infection spread across the city, local law enforcement fell quickly. You now find yourself trapped in a hellscape with only a few remaining survivors. Scavenge the environment for supplies, face off against the undead and do anything it takes to survive. You have only one life. Make it count!"

Nintendo GameBoy Clone - "Ultra GameBoy" from Hyperkin
|
Via Gizmodo and more: Game Boy Is Coming Back Thanks to Hyperkin. There are a lot of unknowns - right now, we know that this looks like the GameBoy Pocket, that "Ultra Game Boy" is not the final name, that it has a light-up screen, and that it charges by USB-C. We see a GameBoy Color cartridge in the slot, but it's unknown if it plays the full-on color games, or Super GameBoy games, or of course GameBoy Advance games. It's estimated to be $100 or less this summer.
If you're experiencing deja vu, you're not alone. At CES 2017, we were introduced to RetroUSB's Super Retro Boy which has since been put on hold - and this is an odd reason - due to a trademark being registered by Nintendo. This shouldn't affect much other than how the item is named and marketed, but it's not coming out any time soon. Hyperkin has a pretty good track record of getting products to market - the quality of which is all over the map - so anything is possible if or when the "Ultra Game Boy" hits stores later this year.

Since the Toys R Us corporate site has been down all day, USA Today asks you to See if your Toys R Us store is on the closure list. My closest store is - and so is the second-most frequented store I visit.
After the rash of Kmart and Sears closings, this isn't really great for the bottom line of retail in American toys. As always, if you like this kind of thing support your favorite stores. The 182 locations in the above article are expected to be shut down by April.

Xbox fans, it's time to try The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human. Microsoft says:
" Explore the ruins of humanity in this mesmerising underwater action-adventure. Discover thriving wildlife, encounter monstrous beasts, and let curiosity guide you through an inevitable voyage of extinction. The water rose by an unpredictable amount due to climate change. The Earth's surface froze over, and humans were forced to live underwater, where they could still harvest energy and grow food. As resources began to dwindle in the year 2971, sub-aquatic spaceships were sent to a nearby wormhole to look for habitable planets. Things did not go as planned. And now the ship Argo9 has returned, thousands of years later... Melancholic atmosphere: Witness the beauty of the sea as well as humanityÕs influence on nature Exploratory storytelling: Told through the art and backgrounds with some textual hints along the way Unique conflict encounters: Confront ... and learn how to overcome ... deadly sea creatures Polarized gameplay: It's pretty chill until you've gotta fight for your life!"
Also available: Mutant Football League, OK K.O.! LetÕs Play Heroes, Batman: The Enemy Within ... Episode 4, and Xuan Yuan Sword: The Gate Of Firmament.
