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.

Suit up, true believers! ??? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re digging into the newly announced MARVEL MaXimum Collection—a nostalgia-packed compilation bringing a stack of classic Marvel games back to modern platforms, including the legendary X-Men Arcade (with online play!) plus plenty of 16-bit chaos to relive. But that’s not all! ? We’re also checking out Fear the Flesh, a bite-sized, The Thing-inspired survival horror set in an Antarctic research station—and it’s free to play (perfect for a quick nightmare snack). And finally, Game Pass fans—Microsoft quietly dropped five more Retro Classics into the lineup, including a couple of Zork gems and some Atari 2600 throwbacks. Retro just keeps winning. ??
