This week on Bit By Bit, GameStop reportedly tried to make a massive move for eBay… and eBay said no thanks. ? But that’s only one of this week’s eight bits of retro gaming news! We’re also looking at new Virtual Boy games on Nintendo Switch Online, Evercade’s final Activision collection, a hidden Wilhelm scream in the Steam Controller, a lost Atari Lynx-style Rampage game, California’s game preservation bill, a Crazy Taxi Game Boy demake, and a GoldenEye-inspired Steam freebie. It’s business drama, retro preservation, weird controller secrets, and classic gaming surprises — all packed into this week’s Bit By Bit! #BitByBit #RetroGaming #GameStop #eBay #NintendoSwitchOnline #VirtualBoy #Evercade #AtariLynx #GamePreservation #GoldenEye - LINKS Ebay Says No - https://tinyurl.com/mwztb4ex NSO Virtual Boy Games - https://tinyurl.com/bdf7vate New Evercade Carts - https://tinyurl.com/4yeku7ma Wilhelm Steam Scream - https://tinyurl.com/5n6re8ju Monster Demolition - https://tinyurl.com/va9tkx5s New Gaming law - https://tinyurl.com/ynrcs8uu Crazy Taxi Demake - https://tinyurl.com/6vappcme Free Goldeneye - https://tinyurl.com/mr3zwa26 - 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 0:22 - Ebay Says No 3:48 - NSO Virtual Boy Games 5:52 - New Evercade Carts 7:57 - Wilhelm Steam Scream 10:16 - Monster Demolition 12:09 - New Gaming law 13:43 - Crazy Taxi Demake 15:05 - Free Goldeneye

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? ?? I’m breaking down the story, what it could mean for Rockstar and Take-Two, and why this topic has gamers talking. 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 Sony just give retro gaming a massive boost? ? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re talking about Sony’s plan to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting in 2028 and why that could make retro gaming, physical media, and old-school collecting even more important. We also dig into Evercade’s new Visco Arcade collections, the increasingly strange 3DO revival drama, a hidden Banjo-Kazooie musical surprise, a wild E-Ink Game Boy project, Donkey Kong 64 getting a native PC port, and the debate over AI-generated FPGA cores. If you love retro games, physical media, game preservation, weird hardware, and the occasional industry faceplant, this one’s packed. #RetroGaming #PlayStation #PhysicalGames #Evercade #BitByBit - LINKS Sony Physical Media - https://tinyurl.com/yyeve5mt Evercade Visco Arcade - https://tinyurl.com/4hru68ek 3DO Comeback Part 1 - https://tinyurl.com/3hz3834s 3DO Comeback Part 2 - https://tinyurl.com/yat5zvtr Banjo-Kazooie Secrets - https://tinyurl.com/ystfu725 E-Ink Game Boy - https://tinyurl.com/4t2awau9 Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port - https://tinyurl.com/2h36fnc9 AI FPGA Cores - https://tinyurl.com/2zszuj8u - 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 00:00 - Intro 00:22 - Sony Physical Media 06:08 - Evercade Visco Arcade 07:31 - 3DO Comeback Part 1 09:17 - 3DO Comeback Part 2 10:58 - Banjo-Kazooie Secrets 13:13 - E-Ink Game Boy 14:13 - Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port 15:05 - AI FPGA Cores

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. ?
