@ThanosReXXX Yeah, I think as an "Atari Classic Mini" it will be just fine. I just mean if they're trying to push it as an actual console either PS4 style or even Ouya style...I don't think a crowd funded console is going to cut the mustard on that one.
@ThanosReXXX That would be awesome if you could play with original controllers. Truthfully I was sold on woodgrain veneer alone. Even though I think the machine itself is to be a colossal disaster......I'll buy anything with woodgrain veneer
@NerdNoiseRadio I can't imagine they'd crowdfund the hardware for an actual $300+ console. And looking at the pictures, this just dosn't have the body space for the cooling solution required by such a system. At absolute BEST it's basically a Switch without the handheld mode with a Tegra X1 inside. At worst, it's just an Ouya/classic mini.
I'm sorry, did Atari just say they are CROWDFUNDING their hardware platform?? That's a new low for them. And considering this is Atari we're talking about, I did not believe a new low was possible.
The box itself looks beautiful. I still have my old 2600 controllers....they were fun, though I doubt this will support them. I wonder if it plays E.T.?
I wonder if we'll ever see games like these now that EA has the license and can basically just publish Star Wars skinned Battlefield Online and an MMO forever and ever and ever without creative games. Star Wars was the one franchise immune to the curse of licensed movie games.
I never actually played the game, which surprises me now that I think about, it, but I certainly remember the toys. I'm not sure why they were so fun, but somehow they were.
Who else remembers the fast-talker (that seemed to be EVERYWHERE back then) that did the US commercials?
