I only go to RacketBOY but I think IGN has a retro page now.

EDIT: Yeah, they do. Cool but not something I'd go to daily

I don't think of this site as a news source at all.

I don't really think there's much in the way of "Retro Gaming News," so I don't really have a favorite source for it.

Yeah same, it's a retro gaming community site. BUT, this also happens to be where I hear of any retro gaming related news if/when there is any. I usually hear it here first.

Well, I'm a regular buyer of, wait for it, Retro Gamer magazine. I know, print media, how very 1.0. That and GamesTM magazine's retro corner too. I find the standard of journalism increases given how dependent the medium's survival is on its quality. Either that, or I gots the money to shitz.

The thing about that is that you can't add a magazine's RSS to his site because...well, magazines aren't online. :|

This. This magazine is dripping with quality. I mean not a single online site can compare. And what I love about them, is that they celebrate everyone who makes video games (unlike most gaming publications (online or print) that only know of Miyamoto, Kojima, Spector and about another 10 people tops)

Retro gaming news is kind of oxymoronic.
