As a current VS owner I decided that now is the time to jump in on the EXP.
I am not a big handheld guy, my Switch is permanently docked, but the loss of the HDMI output and Capcom games has made me pull the trigger on the current model, plus I'll also be able to play the Namco games.
I'm looking forward to mine arriving from Amazon as I have no previous experience with the Atari computers. I was a Spectrum guy and also played on and later was given my brother's C64, so this will be a cool journey of discovery. 😊
The extra buttons on the controller are also intriguing.
Bubsy is a mascot no doubt about that... Not the most well regarded, but very recognisable. I think he could be a useful acquisition for Atari, if used correctly. Perhaps a 2600 style demake or a Recharged game might be a good start for the IP.
Ah the 2600 Plus, you have eaten lots of my time and given me great enjoyment. 😁
For those not following it, it has received some Beta and Experimental updates which have hugely improved the system so far. They are not done with it yet, further features have been discussed too. It's an exciting product, I've enjoyed collecting (far too many 🤣) old carts.
I don't actually own a VCS, I would if Atari shipped to the UK but ah well.
I have followed it's progress and it seems like a well supported and versatile machine, if I had bought one at launch I think I'd be happy with my purchase.
If it was available here right now I don't think I would buy one, not because it's a bad console, not at all, but because it's too late now. Also I am enjoying all things Atari on my Xbox and 2600 Plus anyway! 😊
I do agree that it's slightly outside of the current Atari product line, but credit to them for their continued support of it.
Great article, Atari content is always appreciated on here, thank you! I really should comment more, rather than being a silent viewer, so here I am. 🤷🏻😋
As someone who has enjoyed the Recharged series, other recent Atari releases, Atari 50 and most of all the 2600 Plus I am really happy with 'New' Atari, they are doing a fantastic job of not only revitalising the brand but also providing excellent content and products.
I've spent hours and hours on my 2600 Plus and have enjoyed collecting old carts that I didn't have back in the day. It's also been fun introducing my young daughter to the early era games first, just like I was. Welcome back Atari!

Re: Atari Is Republishing Three 7800 Classics This May, Along With The CX78 Joypad
I pre-ordered these straight away. Can't wait.
I am also happy to see the greedy eBay sellers having the rug pulled out from under their feet, who's gonna buy Ninja Golf for £150 now? 🤣🤣

Re: Atari Wants To Revive More Of Its Classic Systems
A mini Jag would be really nice under my TV.
😁✌🏻
If they can manage to get licensed games included too it would be good, although we will all no doubt add them via USB anyway.
