Atari, Nightdive Studios, and Eidos-Montréal are bringing back Thief: The Dark Project Remastered, one of the most influential stealth games of all time with — but can this classic still sneak its way into modern gaming? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re covering Thief’s big return, Xbox’s translucent 25th anniversary console, DOOM inching closer to running on the Neo Geo AES, the SuperStation One’s Console Mode update, SEGA’s response to AI tools being used in Crazy Taxi: World Tour, a sealed Super Mario Bros. selling for $3 million, hidden Nintendo Switch Online retro challenges, and Delta iOS adding physical cartridge support through Epilogue. Retro gaming is getting revived, remastered, reimagined… and occasionally very expensive. ?

The blood will flow once again—digitally, of course! Digital Eclipse, now owned by Atari, is bringing Mortal Kombat back with the Legacy Kollection, a faithful restoration of the original trilogy of arcade classics. But that's not all in the world of retro and gaming news… We also dive into Atari’s puzzling decision to rebrand a failed Kickstarter game (Mr. Run and Jump) as the spiritual successor to Adventure. Is this a bold move or just nostalgia bait? Plus, we’ve got a look at the first serious rivals to the Nintendo Switch 2: the new Xbox handheld prototypes are real, and they look ready to compete! Hit play for all the pixel-packed updates in this week’s roundup of retro gaming and beyond! ?

Dimitris “Modern Vintage Gamer” Giannakis is leaving Limited Run Games and joining Atari-owned Digital Eclipse—a big get for preservation-minded retro fans. MVG co-built LRG’s Carbon Engine; now he’s headed to Digital Eclipse (of Atari 50 and the Gold Master Series fame). What does this mean for future collections and restorations? Let’s break it down. We also cover a retail shake-up: Costco has removed Xbox listings in the US and UK and, per a rep, doesn’t plan to carry Series X|S “going forward,” calling it a business decision. This lands right before Microsoft’s October 3 price hike (Series X to $649.99, Series S to $399.99). We unpack what this means for Xbox visibility going into holiday 2025. Finally, Eden, the Nintendo Switch emulator that hit Google Play two weeks ago, was pulled from the store. Reporting points to a wave of Nintendo DMCA notices; the devs say they’ll appeal while development continues off-store. We look at what happened and what it signals for emulation on Android. ? Drop your takes: • Will MVG at Atari’s Digital Eclipse raise the bar for classic comps? • Does Costco’s move signal deeper retail headwinds for Xbox? • Is the Play Store a viable home for emulators after Eden’s removal?

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 ??? ?

The NeoGeo AES+ was shaping up to be one of the most exciting new pieces of retro hardware this year — but now fans are going to be waiting a whole lot longer. The hardware-accurate NeoGeo revival has been pushed all the way into September 2027, and we’re digging into what caused the major delay. Plus, GOG takes game preservation beyond the games themselves with printable classic PC big-box extras, Super Smash Bros. Melee reaches a huge decompilation milestone after years of work, and the new Metal Slug Ultimate Collection packs ten games together with online co-op. We’ve also got a major RPCS3 breakthrough that makes physical PS3 discs much more useful on PC, another surprising development in the never-ending Amico saga, a modern reimagining of Lara Croft’s original Tomb Raider adventure, and a compact 4:3 retro gaming monitor built with classic consoles in mind.
