Cody - https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/09/were-genuinely-sorry-the-neo-geo-aesplus-has-been-delayed Tim – Spectrum Next KS3 update email has gone out for backers to update their contact details and addresses ready for delivery. Looks like the KS3 is getting ready for shipping real soon. Tim – Vectrex Mini – Delayed! - The ESP32-P4 module at the heart of the Vectrex Mini motherboard has been discontinued. This means a new version is not being released until October, holding up final production boards. However, the delay will be mitigated by a new design to include the processor, and the components responsible for functions including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi will be integrated directly onto our own motherboard. Shipping should start in December 2026. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1852390947/vectrex-mini/posts/4787697 Eric – Local Sacramento News: Dave's Retro Video Game store destroyed in fire at Sacramento, CA flea market
