The RetroBeat: Amazon’s new investment in old games

Retro gaming is becoming a bankable business. That’s why Amazon has opened up a portal dedicated to it.

In early November, Amazon opened its Retro Zone. It’s a page available on the retailer’s site and app that displays retro products, such as mobile ports of classic games, apparel, and other merchandise. You could buy the mobile version of Mega Man 2, a Pong T-shirt, a book with a collection of Super Famicom cover art, and more.
