Is /vr/ excited for the classic games and modern content soon to be available on the AtariBox?

>> No.4134850

Meh, all I know is that it has an SD card slot so I'm thinking possible emulation box. Hoping it has analog outputs, but not really getting my hopes up on that one.

I'm not even going to be disappointed when "modern content" = android shit because I'm already expecting it

Why would anyone except for a few 40 year old nostalgiafags be excited for this? Atari games are mediocre at best, and total shit on average.

Atarifags, repeat after me:

This is not the Atari you knew. It's only a name owned by completely different people.

What "current content" could it possibly get? There's already a million Flashback systems is we absolutely NEED to pay for the shittiest console games ever.

Coleco chameleon comes to mind

This. In case someone doesn't feel like googling it: the company that's now called Atari is actually what used to be Infogrames, the french company that was (in)famous for licensed games in Europe, which in turn bought the remnant of the original Atari from Hasbro, which again, bought the original Atari back in 1996.

I would buy it if it has games from this generation that I want to play that are not on PC or the console that I own right now (A Switch), or if it has original Atari games and is cheap.

Even if it were do you seriously wanna blindly follow the guys responsible for the 5200 and Jaguar? It's not like Atari did much successful after the 2600 even when their consoles after it weren't infamously bad they still failed to make an impact like the Lynx and 7800.

I know. I'm saying 3rd party companies buy up old brand names because they know sheep will spend money on it for nostalgia purposes and tout it as "the glory days are returning!". When in reality they don't give a shit, it's not the original crew of rebels who made the 2600 a thing, it's not even the same company.

This same shit happened with the coleco chameleon debacle

>> No.4140267

>>4140264
I know you know I'm just agreeing with you and further elaborating that even if it were the same Atari it's not something worth looking forward to outside of just curiosity given their terrible track record before they were even bought out.

PC is the superior platform for retro gaming anyway, PSP for portables (or have hacked 3DSes replaced that)? Otherwise you're an original hardware fag and even still these kind of products would be pointless.

Literally this, it's went through so many hostile take overs, it's pretty much turned into a bunch of business men piggy backing off of the whole "We're Atari, we invented video games" thing
