Is the Atari Hotel FINALLY Happening? + More Retro News!

The Atari Hotel is finally moving beyond the concept art! With site preparation beginning in Phoenix, we’re looking at the latest milestone for Atari’s long-promised gaming destination—and what’s planned for the property.

Then, ModRetro brings ClayFighter: Sculptor’s Cut and Body Harvest back to cartridge collectors, while Anbernic faces another headache as the Azahar team withdraws official device support.

We also explore Taki Udon’s SuperStation Pocket teaser and the independent SGBC FPGA console, two different approaches to giving your Game Boy cartridges a new home. Evercade Nexus reaches store shelves, a folding handheld puts real PlayStation 2 hardware in your hands, and Forza architect Dan Greenawalt reportedly prepares to leave Microsoft after 27 years.

It’s eight bits of retro gaming news, from classic cartridges and new hardware to the people shaping the games we love.
