RGN Monthly News: May 2025
Hello all Retro Game News regular readers and visitors.
Welcome to Retro Game News first monthly news post. This is an unofficial post that you will only see on this part of the website and possibly in an archive sometime later down the track. A lot of work has been put into the first month of this website as it's gone from nothing to ... something! I'm quite happy with how much it's grown even if user interaction is starting off a bit slow. It's still early days as we have only had just over one thousand visitors since this website has opened. In the short month that we have been operating we already have a YouTube channel with 6 videos of rare retro video game footage and assets including a playthrough of the only known Japanese CD-i game to come to light. Please visit our YouTube channel through one of the many links on the website including just below which you can see a feed of 4 recently uploaded videos. Don't forget to support our channel by clicking the "Like, Subscribe and Leave a Comment" buttons.
Retro Game News also has opened up an online webstore way ahead of schedule. I was able to source some excellent Sony PlayStation 3 games that would make any PS3 collector salivate. Just below you can find a feed to our webstore's range of games, which is currently only two however our range will be increased every time we make profit from sales more stock will be purchased to be put in the webstore. So if you are a Sony PS3 collector and interested in these games which are exceedingly rare in Australia then please visit our store and see how we can help add some excellent games to your collection. The two games that I've managed to get for our store in April are Retro City Rampage DX - a brilliant GTA inspired 8-bit de-make for the PS3! Also the rare photography game released in very limited quantities for the English versions - Akuna Matata (a.k.a Afrika) is also up for sale in complete, working condition. Both games have been imported and have been priced accordingly, the good news is that you only need to pay for local postage to get the game to you.
Soon there will be some advertisements (hopefully) put up around the website to try make some revenue to pay for domain and email hosting and some of our business expenses as we have got approval from Adblade an advertising marketing agency to be able to host ads. If you are a reader may I please ask that when you see the ads you click on them and not use an ad blocker by whitelisting our site to try help us out a bit. If you would like to donate to help keep this website alive you can find donations are currently available through cryptocurrency if you go to the Gravatar social media icon.
The highlights in April 2025 have been the launch of RGN, the RGN YouTube Channel, the RGN online webstore, Cronella's Mansion kickstarter campaign ending with late pledges still currently being accepted, Farming Simulator 16-bit is now nearly out of pre-orders for the green FS16bit Sega Mega Drive release which will start being shipped out mid-May, Nike Low Poly 1 Big Head Mode GoldenEye 007-inspired sneakers were released onto an unsuspecting public that threw bags of money at Nike in order to secure a pair, we found out about the ModRetro Chromatic which sold out completely except for the GameStop edition (RGN obtained an 'Inferno' color Chromatic - hooray for us!), we also learned about Super Tilt Bros. a wi-fi game for real NES hardware and finally we looked at the top 10 Sony PS3 game imports to add to your collection. That is a lot of things that have happened just in the first month of operation. I'm very excited as the future is looking very bright for Retro Game News. I hope to get more comments and user interaction, hopefully more likes and subscribes on YouTube and comments on the website.
Thank you for reading and for your continued support, gamers. Long Live Retro Gaming!
