— October 24, 2025 — Life-Stages
Fizz Creations is expanding its retro gaming portfolio with the launch of wireless plug-and-play systems that deliver nostalgic experiences with more convenience. While some gaming systems of the past were notoriously finicky, featuring cartridges that got dusty, Fizz Creations is introducing a simplified experience for kidults and a new generation of gamers with pairs of wireless controllers and an HDMI dongle that plugs straight into TV screens.

The new plug-and-play systems offer an affordable way to experience some of the world's most beloved games, like Pac-Man and Tetris, without a console. In 2026, fans can look forward to even more new formats from Fizz, like Gaming Watches and Colour Handhelds, plus more classic titles like Street Fighter II and Asteroids.
