Nintendo is responding after a hacker group reportedly demanded $2 million over allegedly stolen employee-related data, and the story gets messy fast. But that’s only the beginning of this week’s Bit By Bit! We’re also looking at the sad news of Ubisoft co-founder Claude Guillemot’s passing, Sony apparently shifting away from future PC releases for its biggest single-player PlayStation games, Wolfenstein 3D getting an impressive Atari Lynx port, and someone finally trying to make the definitive version of Zaxxon for the Atari 2600. Plus, Commodore is back in the weirdest way possible with a retro flip phone, LEGO is releasing a working arcade pinball machine set, and the cancelled Xbox 360 version of GoldenEye 007 has been recompiled to run natively on PC. Grab your coffee, fire up the CRT, and let’s dig into another round of retro gaming news, modern gaming weirdness, and a few stories we definitely did not see coming. ? #Nintendo #RetroGaming #BitByBit #Atari #GoldenEye007 #PlayStation #Commodore #LEGO - LINKS Nintendo Ransom - https://tinyurl.com/3hrkacyj RIP Claude Guillemot - https://tinyurl.com/27exbnbc Sony Ditches PC - https://tinyurl.com/ymzfsc9m Wolfenstein Lynxy - https://tinyurl.com/y2494y86 Zaxxon 2600 - https://tinyurl.com/29ep55b8 Commodore Callback - https://tinyurl.com/2t2yjt9k Lego Pinball - https://tinyurl.com/5yps5u2m Golden Eye Xbox - https://tinyurl.com/37sbhwmr - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:22 - Nintendo Ransom 03:28 - RIP Claude Guillemot 06:40 - Sony Ditches PC 09:34 - Wolfenstein Lynxy 11:28 - Zaxxon 2600 13:36 - Commodore Callback 16:09 - Lego Pinball 17:46 - Golden Eye Xbox

AYANEO has revealed the KONKR Pocket Advance, a modern retro handheld wrapped in the familiar horizontal shape of the original Game Boy Advance. With a widescreen display and the potential for far more powerful emulation than other GBA-style handhelds, could this little machine eventually handle systems like the PlayStation 2 and GameCube? There’s plenty to be excited about—but AYANEO still hasn’t revealed the processor, price, release date, or final performance specs. Also this week, a Brazilian court orders Microsoft to restore a hacked gamer’s Xbox account and digital library, Mario Kart Wii is recompiled for PC with potential 4K support and more than 200 tracks, and the RPCS3 emulator passes the milestone of making over 75% of the PlayStation 3 library playable. Plus, an unofficial Virtua Racing emulator brings Sega’s arcade classic to PC and Xbox with eight-player online racing, Evercade raises cartridge prices in the UK and Europe, Super Mario 64 somehow becomes “sort of” functional on the Panasonic 3DO, and Afterplay reveals that PSP and Dreamcast support are the most likely additions coming next to its browser-based emulation platform.

Searching – Rated PG-13 – Reviewed September 18, 2018 – IMDb   It’s sad when a really good, creative movie comes out and about 20 days later it can only be found in one theater where I live. Jon gushed over this movie in our podcast (genxgrownup.com/podcast-episode-29) so I figured it was worth a try. But […]
