@Moroboshi876 Crossing my fingers that that's true. What systems do you hope/think it'll come on? I say it'd be a good fit for Steam, Switch, and PS5.

Oh well. Hopefully some of the possible stand outs will be released anyway.

Too late to say that.

Hmm, I'd assumed it had already sunk. Hopefully everyone gets refunded.

This one I'm not familiar with.

@Pikachew3 I hope so. Would be nice.

@NintendoByNature Me too

@NintendoByNature I think there was an Ecco game too.

@GiantEnemyCrab They're reporting the news on it, nothing more. At least by blabbing about it, any backers have a better chance of reclaiming their funds.

@Pikachew3 nothing saying it won't come to eshops or steam

Hopefully their supporters will get refunded. This is why I refuse to fund Kickstarters.

@Imerion That does sound cool.

Umm...this is not a good move.

@Muddy_4_Ever Lol. Nice zing Muddy. 👍

That still looks more 16 bit, or at least arcadeish then anything, but yes it certainly looks and sounds nice. Well done.

@edannunziata Wait,for real? Does that mean you worked on Ecco? I absolutely love the first game, and thought Jr. was charming. Much thanks from a Nintendo Kid.

@Would_you_kindly Oh so would I

@Shadowmoon522 I hafta agree with you on being disappointed about the new EWJ game. :/

@PhhhCough Yeah. For one, they're reviving a gaming line that came before Nintendo took the world by storm. I'm not sure when, as the Intellivision was a bit before my time.

For another, they aren't trying to compete with the big companies, because they know they can't. They're just trying to carve out their own little niche on the market. This will of course appeal to the oldest generation of gamers, from the 70s and early 80s.

Will it do decently? Will it flop? No one knows, and only time will tell.

I wish them lots of good luck. Intellivision is a bit before my time, but I watched the presentation and they seem passionate about it. Plus there are many new games and modernized versions of old arcade games. I hope it does decently, especially since they understand that they're just trying to do their thing and not compete with the big companies for space. Just because something is little doesn't automatically mean it's doomed to failure.

That ought to make Castlevania fans happy. 🏰

@Nontendo4DS I used that code! As it happens, you can knock out King Koopa in one hit.

I love hearing about these interesting parts of gaming history. I rented game genie a few times. Stopped when it started screwing up my game.

@oknazevad ahh. my mistake

@echoplex The mention of a maze and chainsaw gardener brings to mind Zombies Ate My Neighbors

I've never played anything on a Dreamcast. Its always pretty neat to hear that a canceled game, in a beloved franchise is being released.

It looks weird, and I'm not technologically competent enough to do it myself.

Dang that's kinda wild, in good and bad ways.

Interesting read. I never played it back then. Only when the Classics came out. I am not particularly good at these games.

@Zeldafan79 Yo ho ho.

Why wouldn't it be able to? It's not like 500 years have passed since we had a system that was purely physical and there are plenty of physical games still being sold.

@Elvie More like they don't bother to innovate, update or expand.

And then Nintendo snubbed Sony and created another rival. Seriously though, I'm glad it worked out the way it did. Nintendo and Sega are great.

@flummerfelt Well said flummerfelt.

Man oh man! I SO wish I had the room for one of these babies!

RIP and my condolences to his loved ones. Here's hoping we find a cure for cancers of all kinds soon.

@GealachNua With an empty wallet friend.

In name only? I guess. Atari does put out alot of plug n plays and retro systems.

Its kinda neat learning about gaming history.

@Anti-Matter In this, I agree with you completely.

@rxchrisg What do you care if people do? What do you have against people owning things they pay for?

@Dr_Lugae This is a very succinct way of putting it.

I mean, I wish em luck n stuff but yeah. You make a lot of really good points.

@ferryb001 I think he means it doesn't play anything physical.

It plays in black and white, and it has a crank? This sounds weird. :/

Not a strong choice to start off with, since there are plug n plays very similar to this...some of them from atari.

It is sad, but not unbelievable. Thank goodness for emulators who preserve games, for ports and light remakes, for plug n plays and eshops.

Eh, I'll pass. I've had one unofficial knock off thingy. It emitted a poisonous smell when it was turned on, it came with a sharp chip with 100 games. A good chunk of which were the same game under different names, the emulation was bad and the cords for the plugs were so thin they snapped. Plus I couldn't use the zapper.

Lesson learned, I will never buy a sucky knock-off ever again!

@Hemibear

Well Coleco does have a plug n play.

I've never played Intellivision. Good luck to these people.

Lost me at double a batteries.
