Polymega Modular Gaming Console

Instead of filling your living or game room with retro boxes, the Polymega Modular Gaming Console suggests a more elegant solution. The system consists of a base with a slot for CD-based systems like the PS1 and Sega CD and USB ports for add-ons, plus a series of modules that include controller ports and game slots for systems like the NES, SNES, Genesis, and TurboGrafx-16. The system uses a "hybrid" emulation solution that relies on both hardware and software and supports wireless controllers as well. All games will be output in 1080p, and pre-orders are expected to open later this summer.

Love Hulten OriginX Gaming System

Considered by many to be the origin of modern gaming, Pong was a breakthrough when it arrived in 1972. Love Hulten's OriginX pays homage to the original with a handmade cabinet in walnut, a yellow facade, and an aluminum control plate. Meant for wall-mounting, it has two sets of controls, a built-in computer running a MAME emulator with storage for up to 10,000 games, and a 19-inch 4:3 LCD fitted with a custom barrel distortion filter to better resemble vintage CRT monitors. Limited to just 50 examples.

Xbox Adaptive Controller

Designing a game controller for all ages is tough. Making one that works for the disabled as well is basically impossible, yet Microsoft appears to have done it. Thanks to two large programmable buttons, multiple USB ports, and a dizzying array of 3.5mm jacks, the Xbox Adaptive Controller accommodates a wide variety of use cases. It was built in conjunction with many third-party manufacturers to support the broadest swatch of alternative controls, meaning that no matter what your range of motion or physical ability, you'll be able to create a custom solution that works for you — whether that means foot pedals, large arcade-style joysticks, or something even more elaborate.

Mega Man 2 30th Anniversary Cartridge

Considered by many to be the best game in the series, Mega Man 2 remains a beloved classic. Now you can experience it all over again on a brand new cartridge. Released for the game's 30th anniversary, it comes in a special dual-fold box with foil, glossy, and embossed elements, along with a premium instruction booklet. Sure to bring back memories as you battle Wood Man and Air Man while Takashi Tateishi's score plays in the background, it's limited to just 8,500 copies — 7,500 in light blue and 1,000 in glow-in-the-dark blue.

Atari VCS Entertainment System

Modeled after the classic 2600 console, the Atari VCS — formerly known as the Ataribox — is far more than just another retro-gaming cash grab. While exact specs are still unknown, it is clear that the VCS will have capabilities beyond playing 2600 and 5200 games, as apps for major video and music streaming services are planned, as is an open Linux-based OS. Another hint to its true intentions lies in the preview image, which shows both a classic single-button joystick and a fully modern, dual analog stick controller. Pricing is yet to be announced, but pre-orders are expected to open soon.

Sega Genesis Mini

Taking a page out of Nintendo's book, Sega is preparing to join the retro console market with a pint-sized recreation of its most successful console. Built using technology from AtGames, the Sega Genesis Mini promises a plug-and-play return to the days of 16-bit graphics. Details are scant, but you can expect a healthy dose of Sonic, a rewind feature like the previous Flashback model, and maybe a cartridge slot, although the latter is still TBD. Arriving later this year.

Blade Shadow Cloud-based Gaming PC

Keeping your PC ready to handle the latest games at high frame rates is a chore. The Blade Shadow Cloud-based Gaming PC lets you offload the hassle to the cloud. Instead of packing the box with local tech, it connects to a data center where you're guaranteed eight threads on a Xeon processor, 12GB of DDR4 RAM, a high-end Nvidia card capable of 144Hz 1080p or 60Hz 4K graphics, and 256GB of storage. You'll pay a monthly fee for the service — and the machine, if you don't buy upfront — but the company promises ongoing component upgrades so you won't be left behind with legacy hardware.

Nintendo Labo Toy-Con Kits

The year is 2018. We spend more time staring at screens than ever. Yet the year's first must-have toy is made from... cardboard? It's true: Nintendo's new Labo Toy-Con Kits move far beyond their modest materials by leveraging the Switch's modular design to create a variety of new experiences. Each kit includes a Switch cartridge and pre-cut sheets of the brown stuff. The cartridge walks you through building creations like a working piano, RC car, or fishing rod, then lets you play games with them. Since they're made from cardboard, they're easy to make your own, with or without the official Customization Set, and are ideal for both younger children and big kids alike.

SNES Re-imagined

Built by salvaging otherwise irreparably damaged original Super Nintendo consoles, the SNES Re-imagined gives new life to old hardware. The case itself is a simple rectangle, made from laser cut and etched acrylic components held together by anodized aluminum hardware. As clear skin provides a view of components that were never meant to be seen, many have also been given new finishes and etched details to provide a more refined look. Hand-built, it's compatible with all original SNES games and controllers and will be available in highly limited quantities.

Analogue's original Nt and Nt Mini quickly became the standard in NES gameplay. The Analogue Super Nt Console aims to do the same for the 16-bit era.

It uses an original-style cartridge slot, so it's compatible with all Super NES and Super Famicom games, and while it includes an 8bitdo SN30 wireless controller, it also has two ports in case you'd rather plug in an original gamepad. Available in four colors, including black, SNES classic, SF classic, and transparent.

Street Fighter II 30th Anniversary Edition

It was a legend in it's day, and now that legend is back. Street Fighter II brought the two-player fighting game to the masses when it released on the SNES in 1992. Games would never be the same, and a host of copycats would follow in its wake — most notably Mortal Combat. To honor the 30th anniversary of the Street Fighter II: World Warrior arcade game, Capcom commissioned this release of the original SNES cartridge, complete with Ryu-red or Blanka-green cartridge and lots of exclusive box candy. They've already sold out, but keep checking back for the chance to own yours.

As with the original, the cube-shaped ball is moved with hidden magnets, while the paddles are controlled mechanically. Your score is displayed via a LED display, and the ends fold up when not in use so it can double as a coffee table.
