@BeefSanta It's like an Ouya but you're buying the retro or indie games on cartridges instead of downloading them.

Yes I hope indie hits like Shovel Knight, Freedom Planet, The Messenger, Hollow Knight, Undertale, and Terraria make it to the handheld especially since those are everywhere nowadays.

Why does it cost more than the Mega Sg though? With $20 more I could just buy the Polymega instead which support Sega CD as well four other disc based systems library of games.

I still can't believe this thing ain't out yet and now they're already announcing peripherals for it.

The game selection are starting to look nice, WeaponLord is good fighting game despite having no arcade equivalent.

@rxchrisg Yes you do own the games you download but will the games be tie to the system or through a network account? Also if and when the service is discontinue, will there be options to preserve these games so they won't be in denial like the Ouya? See the reason why I'm not interested in the digital download route is because of this one reason, that you likely won't be able to keep those games you already purchase. Now don't get me wrong, owning physical games had their downs as well but physical makes owning the product seem more legit than digital download to me anyways. What I don't get is why there no options for both (physical and digital) cause having only one just doesn't seem right.

The device looks generic and ugly, I don't think this is for me. The fact that it had no real games for you to play and own is just the icing on the not-gonna-buy cake for me. The crank does seem interesting though, would make for a nice virtual crane game.

So I was right all along. Those other devs they were referring too are Interplay, Data East and such. Would be nice to get Taito, Konami, Namco, Sega, SNK, and Capcom on board as well. That would be some good all-stars of retro support for this thing plus we'll finally get some arcade on the go. I also think Piko Interactive would be jumping on this soon too. Also nice that they got ClayFighter in there, now if only they get the vastly superior ClayFighter 2 in there someday then this would be a instant buy for me.

So this is the Atari Lynx 3 then?

@Painkiller_Mike The Mega Sg came with a free SMS adapter for playing Sega Master System games so technically you're getting 2 systems instead of one as you can play both Genesis/Mega Drive or SMS games out of the box with the Mega Sg.

@jobvd It's just 1 button in the wrong place, it's no big deal. Kinda stupid of Sega not to have a remap option settings as the M2 Sega Ages games all had that option.

@jobvd Even if it is, 8Bitdo already released a firmware update for both in the case that it does.

This would be my ultimate Genesis solution, really tired of all AtGames craps and the upcoming Sega Genesis Mini is pointless at this point in time as we already got the Sega Genesis Classic Collection on Switch and other platforms as well as classic controllers like the M30 to play them with. Can't wait for Wednesday.

Just get this for the Sega CD, NeoGeo CD, and Sega Saturn game support. Everything else are done better with PS3, the Analogue Mega Sg, Analogue Super Nt, and AVS as those use no emulation and is completely compatible with PS1, NES, SNES, Genesis, and SMS games in HD. I still won't believe them that Sega Saturn compatibility for this is 99% compatible. They still had not shown more Sega Saturn games running on this actual hardware to prove that. This along with the Atari VCS and Smach Z seem like they kept making excuses just to delay the product so to keep backers waiting to the point where most will be pissed.

I will wait for the bluetooth version instead but these are good for those who still got them old system and want a good controller to game.

I love this though I would had chosen a much better game but oh well it's Analogue so it's good either way. The fact that we're getting a free Sega Master System adapter with the console is a real treat as well.

@Gravitron So you hate it for being a good game or do you hate it because the dev who work on it are better off making a better game?

They had to come and make AtGames look better.

I thought this was a new article until I found my old comment and was like, "I was here before?"

Nice that it offer microSD card rom support. Still disappointed that there won't be any built-in games but hey I like to have choices so this is okay. I do wish there to be Turbo Grafx-16, Sega Genesis, Game Gear, NeoGeo Pocket Color, and Sega Master System roms support as well, the Nintendo stuffs are just getting old at this point.

Sorry but I trust 8Bitdo more and the fact that the M30 controller is cheaper just destroy all interest I had with this controller. Now if it only use bluetooth instead of the 2.4ghz wireless signal then yeah maybe I will give it a shot but at this point 8Bitdo all the way. Perhaps the only positive about this one over the 8Bitdo ones is that the battery lasted longer for around 150 hours of play time whereas 8Bitdo will probably only lasted around 25 hours of play time just like the SN30.

My one main question about this console. Where are the gameplay of the games?

I probably get this for the Saturn and PS1 support, all the NES and SNES FPGA stuff I need I already have with AVS and Super Analog Nt already. Now if only they support N64 and Dreamcast then I'm set.

More Chinese garbage from these clone makers. When will they move away from NES, SMS, Game Boy, Super NES, GBA, and Sega Genesis? Those are being milk to death already.

The same old story that was cover so many times already.

@ThanosReXXX Retron 5, Analog Super Nt, that one Fei Hao Genesis clone, the Retro Freak, and my PC which can be plug to the TV, and the damn Retro Pi all could handle most of the platform this supports. I don't see why I need this one right now unless I only care about Sega Saturn and Sega CD games which I don't as a majority of them were garbage games and the good ones are mostly ports or import titles. Also still got my PS3 for PS1 games so yeah not sure why I would need this one for that, like I said if I want to play better versions of NeoGeo games I already got a majority of them on the Switch without load times. Like I mention this thing would be worth it if it supports 3DO, N64, PS2, and Dreamcast games then that would be sweet but nope as of now it's not worth it yet.

Until it got 3DO, N64, Dreamcast, and PlayStation 2 support then I may eventually throw money at it but for now I'm not too interested in it just yet. Not really a fan of the PS1 library that much even though I own a lot of them games especially Tekken 3, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy IX, Crash Bandicoot, and the Legend of Dragoon, don't own that many Sega Saturn games at the moment, the Sega CD library are basically just garbage other than Lunar and Sonic CD which already got better remastered on modern consoles, already got better versions of NeoGeo games on Switch via HAMSTER, and already got too many HD clones that could do HD better with Famicom, NES, SNES, SFC, Mega Drive, Genesis, SMS, Game Boy, GBC, GBA, and Game Gear games.

Seems like an interest system but one that would be very expensive to afford if one were to collect all the modules. This system reminds me of the old Pioneer Laseractive Gaming karaoke hybrid system they had back in the old days where it would had modules to support Sega Genesis, Turbo Grafx-16 games, Sega CD, and Turbo CD disc games. It's too bad they didn't offer more modules to help support it longer, would had been nice to have a 3DO and SNES modules as well

I rather just wait for the Retro-Bit ones, perhaps those will be better since they are approved by Sega.

Now if only Microsoft is nice enough to share Rare with Nintendo. Seriously I need my Banjo back so I can Conker again.

No HDMI cable included even though it's meant for the television, no battery back-up, no controllers, no power adapter included, no way to remap buttons, not compatible with other controllers, wasn't meant for portable play and they are asking for well over $120 (not including S & H) for this at Play-Asia and Nin-Nin Games? Ummm SNK, are you selling this product for customer to play or are you selling it for them to show off cause if it's for them to play then why are you not including the things they need to get started, Seriously Not Kool man. This makes the NeoGeo X feel less like a ripoff.

The scary part is that this thing was on the market longer than the Dreamcast but had none of the fun that the Dreamcast offered.

Though I never liked the movie I did like the game that is based on the movie which Capcom stupidly did not include in the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. Would had make for a good extra just for laughs.

@Yorumi Cool man, yeah I hope they get the Super FX games issue fix soon. Nice that homebrew and repros won't be hampers.

Will it be able to play repros and homebrew games as well? I hope it support Pier Solar for Genesis and Dreamcast, Secret of Mana 2 for Super NES, Wolfenstein 3D for Sega Genesis, Final Fantasy VII demake for NES, and Mega Man: The Wily Wars for Sega Genesis.

@Darknyht Ouya failed cause they don't understand competition or their position in the market. They make a box that is too user friendly, very easily hackable, and open source with games having free-to-play options in them thus most of their audience simply just play the games once and never touch them ever again or just play free roms through emulators.

This means that there's literally no purchase to be made at all and when the money aren't coming, developers who put their games there won't see any royalty thus persuading them to move away from the platform (Square Enix only released one game for the Ouya and Sega only released 3, after not seeing sales result they just do not want to bother with it anymore). With no major developers on the platform it doesn't attract consumers so the console end up having little dev and consumer support which eventually contribute to its demise.

@BraveBiT That won't work here though, this is from Indiegogo, not Kickstarter. Atari may never deliver the product and could still get away with all those money. At least with the Ouya they actually did took a risk and start with Kickstarter but in the end failed due to financial burden and lack of sales for the product.

By the time this thing release the Nintendo Switch would had already got big in the console, mobile, handheld, and retro market making this thing completely obsolete. It's open source so that would kill it from day one as being open source means it could easily be hack and games could easily be acquired for free thus developers who jump on board won't be able to make money on it and if no games would sell no customers would support or buy this thing thus ending the same demise the Ouya did. All I could say is good luck Atari you already got close to $3 million from a bunch of believers now you gotta deliver the product or else you'll be the joke of next year. I'm not trolling you to fail nor I am accusing you of being a scammer but I do expect to hear more about the console as the campaign closes.

Ha my basement is like a whole library of old school retro games, some that I hadn't play for years and some I had not even beaten yet. Of course I ain't gonna sell them all away, I may eventually give them over to my next of kin or donate them to a dedicated collector if the gaming industry ever falls under.

Looks cool and all but I don't like how the START and SELECT buttons are located on the upper section of these controllers instead of the lower section. Hopefully these controllers doesn't cost more than $15. I bought TTX's Super NES controller and Hyperkin's GN6 Genesis controller for much less and they still work very well, if this cost more than those for having similar design and experience than it's a downer to me.

I hope they take pre-order soon, I need to breathe new life to all my Sega CD and PlayStation games and this may be just that.

Sadly whoever made the film never sued Capcom for not only using the Street Fighter name but also the two background sceneries too so basically Capcom got lucky. Since the movie was called The Street Fighter in Japan and renamed to Hard Time everywhere else, Capcom wouldn't had been able to use the name Street Fighter everywhere else.

So the dude went mad and became Chris Benoit? Good riddance, only a coward would do that to his own flesh and blood. If you want to die just kill yourself so your wife and son can move on, no need to take them with you.

Wow that is cool, now imagine if they kept the Dragon Ball concept for Alex Kidd and go right into DBZ with his later games, maybe we might even see Alex Kidd go Super Saiyan. Oh wait...

Poor Alex Kidd, you almost made it.

Meh another garbage system from another Chinese clone on a chip making company. I bet they still hadn't fix compatibility with Castlevania 3 either. The original SR3 got almost everything right except for compatibility. This one seem like it didn't fix any of the compatibility issues and just upscale the composite picture to 720p. If you want to play true solid HD for your NES, SNES, and Genesis with better compatibility just get the AVS, Analog Super Nt, and/or the Fei Hao HD Genesis clone. Avoid this cheap knockoff.

The NeoGeo ports on Switch are still better, you get them cheap and legit with more features plus the portability aspect for under $9 each. Unless you're a die hard collector, still owned a NeoGeo AES or MVS machine and got more money to waste, these flash cartridge are good alternatives.

I stopped buying these when they began taking out games I like such as the Ecco and Streets of Rage games. Also the HD Genesis Flashback they recently released was just pure garbage, the audio sounds okay but the compatibility was terrible, controller ports hardly ever work, the menu constantly freezes, there are scrolling and framerate issues on all games, and games such as Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Super Street Fighter II doesn't work on it.

They're nice retro clones but the speed of some of the games turn me off and the aspect ratio is a bit iffy. Sprite looks more fat than when compare to how they were presented in the original Game Boy Color aspect ratio. It's cheap though and got a nice backlit display so it makes for a good alternative, for me I rather stick with my backlit fully modded GBA.

@Yas I never own an Atari 2600 but I did get a chance to play one at a relatives house with games like Centipede, Frogs and Flies, Galaxian, and Pitfall. For some reason most people remember the bad games of the 2600 but not the good ones. I also got the chance to play the Atari Jaguar at one time and enjoy three of the four games (Cybermorph, AVP, Doom, and Tempest 2000) I tried on it. You never know, this new Atari system might be a game changer for Atari if they know how to market it successfully.

To limit risk taking, this product will initially be launched within the framework of a crowdfunding campaign.

Wait they are just now planning to kickstart this? I previously thought that this console was years in the making meaning they already had the fund to produce it already. Well I guess it'll end up being an Ouya situation all over again. We probably won't see this in stores until late 2019 or early 2020 then which by that time the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Two will probably be on their way. I guess the real factor that will decide whether I am excited for this is if the thing support physical copy of games or not as I'm not too fond of an all digital console.
