Nintendo Hackers Demand $2 Million?! + More Retro News!

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. ?
