This week on Bit By Bit, Atari makes another big retro move by acquiring rights tied to the first five Wizardry games. Is this just another classic IP pickup, or is Atari quietly building something much bigger in the retro gaming space? We’re also covering Super Mario 64 running on Game Boy Advance, a pocket-sized GameCube made from real Nintendo hardware, the delayed THEA1200 Amiga-style retro computer, Takashi Tezuka retiring from Nintendo, new Neo Geo AES+ details, possible retired Evercade cartridges returning, and the open-source Game Bub FPGA handheld. Eight bits of retro gaming news from the past week — all that and just a little bit more, right here on Bit By Bit! ?? #Atari #Wizardry #RetroGaming #BitByBit #SuperMario64 #GameBoyAdvance #GameCube #Amiga #NeoGeo #Evercade #Nintendo #FPGAHandheld #RetroNews - LINKS Atari Acquires Wizardry - https://tinyurl.com/522kt3pe Keychain GameCube - https://tinyurl.com/bdhtjke5 Evercade News - https://tinyurl.com/mr793pct Super Mario 64 GBA - https://tinyurl.com/3rjtv72k A1200 Pushed Back - https://tinyurl.com/5zbmm45d Neo Geo AES+ Questions - https://tinyurl.com/437tffh9 Takashi Tezuka Retires - https://tinyurl.com/3wtyttx7 Game Bub - https://tinyurl.com/nuv8wj8x - 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 Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 0:22 - Atari Acquires Wizardry 4:31 - Keychain GameCube 6:21 - Evercade News 7:19 - Super Mario 64 GBA 8:33 - A1200 Pushed Back 9:51 - Neo Geo AES+ Questions 11:18 - Takashi Tezuka Retires 12:20 - Game Bub
