8BitDo’s NES40 drop is here—and that $499 Retro 68 Keyboard is the lightning rod. We break down what you actually get (aluminum build, Ice Cream Pro Max switches, 300-hour battery), plus the rest of the NES40 set: the limited-run Ultimate 2 N40 controller and the $49.99 Retro Cube 2 speaker. Launch windows, pricing, and the 1,985-unit cap inside. Also in the show: the Friday the 13th devs are back with Halloween: The Game—asymmetrical slasher mayhem with Michael Myers stalking Haddonfield, targeting a 2026 release. What’s new vs F13, and will rights issues stay clear this time? And we check in with Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island): he “never stops thinking about adventure games,” but won’t make another point-and-click just for nostalgia as his roguelike Death By Scrolling nears release—what that means for classic adventure fans.
