Retro-Bit Publishing serves as an extension of our passion for playing games on their original console.  We seek to re-release rare games and give them a special release for everyone to enjoy.  Whether you're new to retro gaming or a long-time fan, we hope to provide gamers everywhere the joy of opening a new game, popping the cartridge into their console, and having a blast.  If you got an idea for a future release, please add it to the request form below.  We review them periodically and appreciate everyone's input as we continue to add to our library of games.

OUR RE-RELEASES

Our library of games continues to grow with beloved titles, hidden gems, and even some new indie games. Our goal is to provide value to any collection. Whether you're an old-school collector or someone who wants to experience classic gaming, we don't want you to miss out on our next re-release!  When we release a game, it needs to be special.  Those who purchase any title can expect the following:

  • Each title is given its own special treatment with cleaned up artwork and logos
  • The manuals are totally redone and printed in full color
  • All Nintendo console releases now get hardcover game boxes that protect the contents from wear and tear
  • All SEGA Genesis®/Mega Drive releases are releases in plastic game boxes - just like the originals
  • Additional goodies such as stickers and posters up to figurines and toys
  • Each release comes with a certificate of authenticity declaring the numbered release of its total production run.
  • Each game is thoroughly tested to function on both original and most 3rd party clone consoles
  • All PCBAs have high-quality engineered diagrams that are reviewed by seasoned professionals
  • We utilize 5-volt chips on our NES®, SNES®, and SEGA Genesis®/Mega Drive boards to prevent console damage
  • Cross-region support for NTSC and PAL consoles where applicable, including region-specific cartridge shells for SNES® titles
  • Battery-backed saves when the title requires them
  • Beveled insert points and rounded corners for cartridges to prevent damaging console slots and contact pins
  • Special printing on the boards that pay tribute to the title
  • New translations and edits to update legal disclaimers in-game
  • Maintain the integrity of the gameplay even when making changes
  • High-quality screws and labels that punctuate the look and feel of a brand new game
  • Holy Diver - A new code was added for players to "Take it Easy"
  • Hellfire - The game was updated to include an audio fix that affected it when played on certain consoles
  • Zero Wing - The additional 30 end credits screens only present on the Japanese version were added to our release, fully translated
  • Mega Man: The Wily Wars - Mega Man 1 was fixed to improve most of the slowdown that bogged the game to a crawl
  • Alwa's Awakening: The 8-Bit Edition - This "demake" restructured much of the original game while also adding new endgame content
  • Avenging Spirit - A hidden ending screen originally only in the Japanese version was added back in
  • Eliminate Down - We have added a special code to give you 30 lives
