>Atarifags utterly blow the fuck out.

pure speculation

>>384277686
Anyone even remotely following what a fucking shitshow Atari has been in the last 5 years could see this was a fucking scam, just like their "games".

jive... turkeys...

At the bottom it even discusses that they want "current content." That article is a farce.

Isn't there already an Atari NES classic? My money's on that this thing is some bullshit Android / OUYA type thing.

>>384278223
Ba dum tiss!

It's a new console with new hardware bundled with some old Atari games

>>384278727
There's many of them. Hell, Atari Flashback is in its 8th iteration now if I'm not mistaken.
This is definitely something else.
>>384278878
If it's a new console that can play current gen games and has the entire 7800+Jaguar+Lynx library built in at launch, I'm in.

Good riddence.

>>384277686
i seriously hope groovyposting was just hyper ironic shitposting because anyone who seriously thought this thing would be a real competitor to the current gen is a fucking retard.

Been following this everyday and information is fucking sparse. Basically there's about 2 youtubers who make speculation videos every single day.

What is known is that it isn't going to be an NES classic. How do we know that? Because that's literally the only thing they've said about the console. And this current speculation in OP is based off another question. So will it be able to play classic Atari games? "Yes" CLASSIC CONFIRMED BTFO That's bullshit. My browser can play Atari classic games doesn't make it an Atari Flashback.

I still have faith that something good can come from this. I doubt it's be able to play modern titles but it might be a better Ouya. Host to emulators and indie games. Ouya had 3 major downsides that were avoidable.
1. Overblowing the hype and cability.
2. Shit ass controller that was half the system cost.
3. Marketplace

That's all it has going for it. Brand recognition. The company itself has nothing. It's bought and sold like every other year to other companies who want to license out the titles. Then we get shit like pictured, which isn't all bad. Atari as a company has like 5 employees and they're all lawyers.

>>384277686
Damn, that sucks.

>>384281226
Straight up the worst thing you can do given how much misinformation has been spreading about this thing. Trust the exact wording of press releases only.

>Constantly see people say and post shit like oh man I love these new atari memes
>literally nothing but wojak with an afro being shopped onto things, and lingo that nobody ever used
Wojak was a mistake.

>>384280958

The console's name is Nintendo Entertainment System, you dumb faggot. NES are the initials and nobody pronounces initials, you say the individual letters.

>>384281386
The article title is straight up wrong. The press release specifically mentions classic and current games.

>>384281604
There are many good atari wojaks been made on Atari threads when the news popped up about a new atari console. People picked the wojak with an afro and a headband

seriously, what's the first thing pops up in your head when you hear atari and 70s? probably disco and afros.
