🦔 Arcade1Up Sonic the Hedgehog Cabinet
Basic Fun! officially unveiled the first-ever Sonic home arcade cabinet at Toy Fair New York. We discuss the "Supreme Series" XL design, the controversial game list (Console ports? Really?), and that confusing artwork featuring Knuckles. Is this the cabinet fans have been waiting for, or a missed opportunity?
🚀 Star Trek: Across The Unknown
The game has finally launched! We share our first impressions of the release on PS5, Xbox, and the Nintendo Switch 2. Does the gameplay live up to the hype, and how does the Deluxe Edition hold up? Plus, we talk about the "console demo" strategy and what it means for the franchise's gaming future.
🔴 Virtual Boy on Nintendo Switch
It’s finally here. Nintendo Switch Online just added the Virtual Boy library (released Feb 17). We talk about the launch lineup—including Mario’s Tennis and Teleroboxer—and the wild news that cancelled games like Zero Racers (the F-Zero spinoff!) and Dragon Hopper are coming later this year.
🧸 NY Toy Fair 2026 Highlights
Beyond the arcade cabinets, we wrap up the 120th Toy Fair New York. From Hasbro’s new Street Fighter movie tie-ins to the latest in "kidult" collectibles, we cover the trends shaping the toy industry this year.
