Is Atari Bringing Back The 800XL? + More Retro News!

Atari may be hinting at a return for one of its classic 8-bit computers, and that has us wondering what kind of retro hardware revival could be coming next. ??

This week on Bit By Bit, we’re digging into the new Atari 800XL trademark buzz, the surprisingly interesting return of Bubsy in Bubsy 4D, Embracer spinning off Fellowship Entertainment, AYANEO’s new Pocket Air Mini Arcade Home Edition, R-Type Dimensions III, Nintendo 64 rollback netcode, Lenovo’s ROM-loaded retro handheld controversy, and a fan-made Final Fantasy XVI SNES-style demake.

It’s another packed week of retro gaming news, weird hardware, classic franchises, and a few stories that made us say, “Wait… what year is it again?”
