8-Bit Space 2: A Brand-New NES Game in 2026?!

🎮 A brand-new NES game in 2026?!
In this episode of The Overwhelmed Gamer Podcast, I sit down with Simon from Glass Frog Games to talk about 8-Bit Space 2, a new physical game being developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
We dive into the story behind 8-Bit Space 2, what goes into developing a modern NES homebrew game, how the sequel builds on the original 8-Bit Space, the challenges of creating a game for retro hardware, and why developers are still making new games for the NES decades after its original release.
We also take a look at 8-Bit Space 2 gameplay and talk about what retro gaming fans can expect from this new adventure.
