Retro-Bit Publishing serves as an extension of our passion for playing games on their original consoles.  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 provide gamers everywhere the nostalgic joy of opening a new game, popping the cartridge into their console, and having a blast.  If you have 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 continues to grow with beloved titles, lost rarities, regional exclusives, hidden gems, and retro-inspired indie games. Our goal is to provide value to any collection. Whether you're a collector or a retro gamer, you can be confident in the quality of our releases.  You can expect the following:

We want each game to be a proud addition to your collection.

  • We put special attention to each details of the packaging and cartridge.
  • Each manual is totally redone and printed in full-color on quality paper.
  • All Nintendo® console releases use hardcover game boxes with magnetic latches.
  • All SEGA Genesis®/Mega Drive releases use plastic, clam shell game boxes - just like the originals.
  • Depending on the title, we will sometimes include stickers, figures, posters, and other items.
  • Each release comes with a certificate of authenticity declaring the numbered release of its total production run.

Our team works diligently to make the experience from unboxing to credits roll is a positive experience.

  • Each game is thoroughly tested to function on both original and most 3rd party clone consoles.
  • All PCBAs use 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.
  • 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.
  • High-quality screws and labels that punctuate the look and feel of a brand new game.

We put special attention to any improvements we can make from the original release without negatively impacting gameplay.

  • New codes- At times, we may enable a new code or mode.
  • Hidden content - We might enable previously hidden content if it does not impact the game negatively.
  • Game fixes - If possible, we may implement fixes with the licensor's approval to improve the performance.
  • Translations- We localize our releases should translations be needed for both the games and manuals.
