The blood will flow once again—digitally, of course! Digital Eclipse, now owned by Atari, is bringing Mortal Kombat back with the Legacy Kollection, a faithful restoration of the original trilogy of arcade classics. But that's not all in the world of retro and gaming news… We also dive into Atari’s puzzling decision to rebrand a failed Kickstarter game (Mr. Run and Jump) as the spiritual successor to Adventure. Is this a bold move or just nostalgia bait? Plus, we’ve got a look at the first serious rivals to the Nintendo Switch 2: the new Xbox handheld prototypes are real, and they look ready to compete!

Dimitris “Modern Vintage Gamer” Giannakis is leaving Limited Run Games and joining Atari-owned Digital Eclipse—a big get for preservation-minded retro fans. MVG co-built LRG’s Carbon Engine; now he’s headed to Digital Eclipse (of Atari 50 and the Gold Master Series fame). What does this mean for future collections and restorations? Let’s break it down. We also cover a retail shake-up: Costco has removed Xbox listings in the US and UK and, per a rep, doesn’t plan to carry Series X|S “going forward,” calling it a business decision. This lands right before Microsoft’s October 3 price hike (Series X to $649.99, Series S to $399.99). We unpack what this means for Xbox visibility going into holiday 2025. Finally, Eden, the Nintendo Switch emulator that hit Google Play two weeks ago, was pulled from the store. Reporting points to a wave of Nintendo DMCA notices; the devs say they’ll appeal while development continues off-store. We look at what happened and what it signals for emulation on Android. ? Drop your takes: • Will MVG at Atari’s Digital Eclipse raise the bar for classic comps? • Does Costco’s move signal deeper retail headwinds for Xbox? • Is the Play Store a viable home for emulators after Eden’s removal?
