Team Cherry just revealed why Silksong will be tougher than Hollow Knight — and it all comes down to Hornet’s speed, skill, and a clever “Elden Ring logic” twist that can actually help you survive the difficulty spike. In this video, we dive into what makes Silksong stand apart, how the new mechanics change the challenge, and why it might be the ultimate test for Metroidvania fans. But that’s not all — the retro gaming scene is buzzing this week! AYANEO has officially launched the Pocket Air Mini, a sleek new retro gaming handheld designed to pack big performance into a small frame. And in a blast from the past, indie developers have announced a Kickstarter for Maiden of the Dark, an all-new title coming to none other than the original Game Boy! Whether you’re a Hollow Knight veteran, a handheld collector, or someone who loves seeing brand-new games hit old hardware, this is a week full of gaming news you don’t want to miss. ? What are your thoughts — will Silksong be too hard, or exactly the challenge fans are waiting for? ??

This week on Bit By Bit, we’re unpacking a big shake-up in retro coverage: Time Extension says it’s done covering ModRetro products moving forward — what prompted the decision, what it means for readers, and why it’s sparking such a loud reaction in the community. ? Plus, we’re celebrating some brighter retro vibes: a look back at why 2025 may have been Evercade’s strongest year yet, with so many releases (and hardware) keeping physical retro alive and well. ???? And finally, a major PC gaming story with retro-friendly implications: CD Projekt is selling GOG — what that could mean for DRM-free games, ownership, and preservation going forward. ?? ?
