8BitDo’s NES40 drop is here—and that $499 Retro 68 Keyboard is the lightning rod. We break down what you actually get (aluminum build, Ice Cream Pro Max switches, 300-hour battery), plus the rest of the NES40 set: the limited-run Ultimate 2 N40 controller and the $49.99 Retro Cube 2 speaker. Launch windows, pricing, and the 1,985-unit cap inside. Also in the show: the Friday the 13th devs are back with Halloween: The Game—asymmetrical slasher mayhem with Michael Myers stalking Haddonfield, targeting a 2026 release. What’s new vs F13, and will rights issues stay clear this time? And we check in with Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island): he “never stops thinking about adventure games,” but won’t make another point-and-click just for nostalgia as his roguelike Death By Scrolling nears release—what that means for classic adventure fans.

? It’s Pac-Man’s 45th birthday, and My Arcade is celebrating with two new officially licensed devices: the Pac-Man 45th Anniversary Mighty Player and the Pac-Man 45th Anniversary Pocket Player Max. Both units pack classics like PAC-MAN (Classic), PAC-MAN (Speed-Up), PAC-LAND, SUPER PAC-MAN, and PAC & PAL, along with rechargeable batteries and that bold anniversary graffiti-style artwork. ?? In this episode of Bit By Bit, we dig into what you actually get for the asking price, how these new devices stack up against other Pac-Man and mini-arcade releases, and whether they’re worth it for collectors or just hardcore maze-chasers. ? We’re also talking Nintendo Switch Online’s November 2025 update, which adds more NES and Game Boy greats like Ninja Gaiden II, Battletoads, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, and Bionic Commando to the ever-growing retro library for subscribers. ? And to round things out, we look at a stunning LEGO ZX Spectrum fan design on LEGO Ideas — a 2,130-piece tribute to Sir Clive Sinclair’s legendary 8-bit micro that helped bring gaming into homes in the 1980s. If you love retro hardware, clever tributes, and staying on top of the latest classic gaming news, you’re in the right place. Hit that ?, subscribe, and share with a fellow retro fan!
