@Zeebor15 Then I am dumb and misread. My bad.

@Zeebor15 “Nintendo didn’t make a Genesis controller.”

Check again?

(Pedantic, I know.)

I misread “brought that rivalry to an end” in the trailer for “bought that rivalry to an end” which is actually more fitting.

One point of note, and this is from someone who has no nostalgia glasses for the Intellivision, is that the controller overlays are going to be a huge nuisance. Perhaps it would be better to have a cheap e-ink screen behind the inputs that could change to the appropriate game overlay. Something like that would probably raise the costs and thus price of the console quite a bit though, making it potentially infeasible.

Lastly, this is an unholy union. It would be like if Nintendo released a new Genesis console.

“This isn't the first time that EGGCONSOLE has run into trouble for the unauthorized use of someone else's software without permission.”

One more and they can redeem their punchcard for a free coffee (which may or may not be stolen).

@WhiteUmbrella
Thanks for that info. Just wanted to add that I finally received my email for this today. IIRC I think I jumped aboard a bit late, so the delay in receiving the email likely correlates to the order ‘line’.

This tickles the hardware enthusiast in me, but I’ve never been attached to the Atari brand or games. The emulation bonus is pretty cool, but probably not enough to justify it l when there are a multitude of better portable emulation devices.
It does LOOK really cool though.
I suppose at a glance, without having the hardware in my hands, the most annoying element to this is how they have the Atari branding in the UI right below the Atari branding on the hardware.

@WhiteUmbrella Same here. I put the $5 down on the Superdock preorder and never received a follow-up email after my order confirmation. I’m assuming they’ll send purchase links out once it’s closer to shipping.

If they want to.

Watch out, Italian Museum… SEGA is probably already working with local authorities to illegally raid and steal your property.

Now that the litigious comment seal has been broken…

I can’t wait to play this ga-aaand it’s gone.
(Jk, but maybe true by the time you’re reading this)

My favorite part of this article is how your described all of the terrible things the executives were doing and I’m just here thinking the entire time “huh, so they’re basically acting like every single company in 2025.”

I’d like to believe this will all end up with a lot of people in legal trouble for botched raid at best, actual cronyism at worst, but realistically I know they’ll all get away with it because corporation.

Well SEGA, congratulations. I was going to pick up the new Sonic racing game, but now I’m having second thoughts.

I feel like Atari is putting the cart before the horse here. They’re revealing and launching way too many hardware products when anything and everything under the sun (including a plethora of their own licensed products) can and does play basically the entire Atari library of games already.

What Atari needs to focus on right now is polishing their brand after it’s been passed around like a… well, best not to say. That comes in the way of putting their heads down and really focusing on delivering solid, polished SOFTWARE experiences to build up a fan base first. These aren’t the 80s when there’s little competition in the console space anymore. You need to do more than make a shiny video about some new retro handheld.

I mean do we really need 3 new ways to play Pac-Man?

It really feels like they’re trying to flood the market with Atari products, and we all know what happened the last time Atari flooded the market.
