Bubsy’s Wild Comeback + More Retro News!

Bubsy is back… and somehow this comeback is looking way more interesting than anyone expected ?? In this week’s Bit By Bit, we’re digging into Bubsy 4D and why its “subvert expectations” energy might actually land when it hits PC + consoles on May 22, 2026.

Then we pivot to some seriously cool retro hardware: an Atari ST mini-style build called the MiniST—an FPGA-powered passion project with MiSTeryNano vibes, HDMI output, and that clean black wedge look… but with an initial run of only five units ???

And finally, we take a respectful moment for the retro community as New Wave Toys shares a difficult update following the passing of founder Shilo Prychak. We’ll talk about what’s been shared, what it could mean for future projects, and why his work mattered to so many of us ???
