There are a lot of good new games out there too, they're all indie games though. Some of them are built for retro consoles too haha. The NES dev scene is really active
Gameboy too. There are so many new old games on itch.io.
Yeah, that that GBStudio thing really made gameboy dev super accessible. There's the NESmaker for NES stuff - it's not the best, but it's the easiest thing out there like it lol.
I often scrape itch for new NES stuff. There's an SNES game jam going right now that I'm hoping will bring some fresh stuff to check out.
I have a Miyoo Mini Plus, and these homebrew/Game Jam Games are really perfect for it.
I've been playing a pokemon Rom hack called Lazarus, and it feels like a fully featured, modern pokemon game, in a GBA style, without just aping Gen 3 assets. It's a delight to play!
Same with Pico8 games. Getting pico8 to run natively on the Miyoo mini is pretty easy, and there are a ton of really cool, bite-sized little games available for free. A lot of them remind me of old flash games, in their simplicity.
