Here's a new little project: 1 Bit Pong There's no info on its page, nor a video, but from the screenshots it looks like single-player pong but rotated 90deg.https://mrbackware.itch.io/1-bit-pong-genesisAlso, I couldn't spot this in any of the other posts, Mark Day is working on a re-port of Double Dragon:https://x.com/masterlinkueibr/status/1906124603925164288https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsbcqe_2RZA

And another! Tough Guy Fighting Spirits - A new fighting game from Piko Interactive, but being released through "Bleem", which I don't fully understand what it is... I think it's trying to be a steam-like service/marketplace for retro games?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bClCm26Y_TY
Found another new project: Sir Ababol, a port of an action/platformer NES game by the Mojon Twins. Looks to be an ongoing WIP, but I'm not 100% on thathttps://old-pirate.itch.io/sir-ababolhttps://x.com/OldPirate11/status/1906708442607218738

Aaand got a bunch more.Dweep: a demake of a 1999 PC game of the same name. Sadly the download link is broken, though I guess you could build your own copy.https://x.com/Haroldo0k/status/1907947176921006531https://github.com/bttsea/dweep-genHugPunx: another demake from a 2013 web game of the same namehttps://x.com/Haroldo0k/status/1907945877567844799https://github.com/tttmmmsss/hugpunxThis ones a bit older but I couldn't spot it on the list anywhere, Crime City, a port of the Taito arcade game of the same namehttps://x.com/masterlinkueibr/status/1837630884867944706This final one is more of a tech demo/proof of concept than a game, so not sure if you'd want to include it; there's no "formal title" other than SGDK ASCII Roguelike. It's a procedurally generating map that you can navigate and collect items, but that seems to be all.https://x.com/Haroldo0k/status/1907950184908169315https://github.com/bearmade/SGDK-ASCII-roguelike
