This week on Bit By Bit, Evercade is bringing DOOM to cartridge — but do you really need the massive $249.99 limited-edition DOOM Nexus bundle when existing Evercade owners can grab the new DOOM Collection cartridge for just $29.99? We break down what you're actually getting and which option makes the most sense for retro gamers and collectors. Plus, nearly 100 pristine copies of a previously unseen Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt variant have surfaced, including five cartridges earning a perfect PSA 10 grade. Commodore is resurrecting the legendary TAC-2 joystick for $49.99, and one of the rarest arcade machines ever made — a working two-player Computer Space cabinet from 1973 — has gone up for auction. We also check out a new ModRetro M64 firmware update bringing wireless rumble, display options, audio improvements and more; Defender of the Crown: The Legend Returns brings the classic strategy game back roughly 40 years later; Y2K electronics-repair sim ReStory passes 300,000 sales; and Bubsy 4D gets a huge Black Hole update with 15 new levels, outfits, leaderboards and more.

A brand-new Neo Geo AES-style system in 2026? ? This week on Bit By Bit, I’m digging into one of the wildest retro gaming stories in a long time: a new Neo Geo console that claims to be more than emulation and more like a true hardware rebirth. If that wasn’t enough, I’ve also got more retro gaming news, surprises, and throwback goodness from the past week. If you love classic gaming, arcade history, and seeing old-school legends get a second life, you’re in the right place. ?? #RetroGaming #NeoGeo #SNK #ArcadeGaming #ClassicGaming #BitByBit #RetroNews #GamingNews #ConsoleGaming #AES - LINKS Neo Geo AES+ - https://tinyurl.com/mrxwajtc Anbernic RG Rotate - Confirmed - https://tinyurl.com/8fthxst6 Wild Gunman - https://tinyurl.com/3rktkm42 Rocknix Steam Support - https://tinyurl.com/4wv89w4e GXG & MGC 2026 - https://tinyurl.com/mr3td6yf Afterplay Storefront - https://tinyurl.com/4uwsknxm Direct Afterplay Link - https://afterplay.io PS Vita Zelda Port - https://tinyurl.com/pta48d3m Atari/Thunderful's REPLACED - https://tinyurl.com/39f7fums - SHOP http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 0:22 - Neo Geo AES+ 3:29 - Anbernic RG Rotate - Confirmed 4:50 - Wild Gunman 6:49 - Rocknix Steam Support 7:49 - GXG & MGC 2026 9:38 - Afterplay Storefront 11:56 - PS Vita Zelda Port 13:11 - Atari/Thunderful's REPLACED

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. Would you book a stay at an Atari Hotel?
