Take-Two and GTA VI are front and center in this week’s Bit By Bit as I dig into the surprising AI controversy making waves around one of gaming’s biggest publishers. Did GTA VI force a rethink behind the scenes, or is this part of a bigger shift in how publishers want to use AI going forward? ??

Plus, I’ve got more retro gaming news, nostalgia-fueled updates, and other stories from around the gaming world you won’t want to miss.

ModRetro finally pulled the curtain back on its transparent M64 N64-style console, complete with Funtastic-style shells and a trident controller, and Palmer Luckey is already talking big — calling it “better by every objective measure” than the Analogue 3D while keeping the price at $199. We’ll break down the design, controller, feature set, and whether it really has what it takes to challenge Analogue’s $249.99 4K FPGA monster. ?? That’s not all! We’re also checking out the Abxylute M4, a tiny snap-on iPhone game controller that clings to your MagSafe device, packs real sticks and triggers into a pocket-sized shell, and still comes in at an affordable price. If you’re into retro and cloud gaming on the go, this might be your new everyday carry. ??? And to cap it off, we’re diving into Pixels to Pages, a free YouTube documentary from Game Sack and My Life in Gaming that chronicles the history of Electronic Gaming Monthly with classic editors, deep-cut stories, and a big hit of late-’80s/’90s magazine nostalgia. If you grew up flipping through EGM, you’re gonna feel this one. ??

Did Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection finally get the online treatment it deserves? ? In this episode of Bit By Bit, I’m diving into the new Online Arcade lobby beta, talking about how it works, what’s improved, and whether it might finally redeem MK’s shaky online reputation. Then we’re swapping quarters for cartridges with Evercade’s newly announced TAITO Arcade 3 collection, packed with more classic arcade goodness for your handheld or VS setup, and wrapping things up with maybe the wildest crossover yet: custom Nike sneakers you can actually play SNES games on. ??? If you love retro fighters, cartridge collections, and weird-but-awesome hardware mods, this one’s for you. ? From MK lobbies and Evercade’s next arcade installment to the Air SNES kicks, we’re celebrating how retro keeps evolving in 2025 while still hitting those nostalgia nerves. ?
