Full compatability with original games is absolutely class. Love this. More of this please

[Artonox]

being able to play the old cartridges is massive

[DeathScorpian]

Not only are the old cartridges fantastic, the fact that they gave it the ability to hook up to modern tvs is wonderful.

Genius marketing move. In a time when emulation based multiplatform consoles are common, making an official product that looks and feels like the real deal (in no small part thanks to cartridge compatibility) is just brilliant.
I'd love for SEGA to do this too. Hell, _licensing indie titles and making them legit would blow my mind._

After decades of getting it wrong, Atari finally listened to it's consumers and got it right

[scotty]

A great idea. Not only sharing the younger generation on how home gaming began, but also preserving games and making them last more into the future. Best move ever for the video game industry.

I'm not a huge Atari 2600 fan but this is the best way to do a Classic/Mini system. looks like the original hardware, plays the cartridges and you can purchase new game carts! That is So sweet!

[naxoxz]

Unironically this is a great opportunity for enthusiasts to release new games while taking advantage of the coding experience of this modern age.

[Delan]

Maybe no one cares, but I'm a 21-year-old who loves Atari games and it's all thanks to my dad.❤

[retrotranslator]

This deserves major support as a show of appreciation for the most consumer-friendly move I've seen in decades. I'm afraid Nintendo, Sega, and Sony didn't want to do this because the money would go to used game dealers, not to them.

[tysaylorphoto]

The fact they included the ability to play actual physical atari games is outstanding.

[u.n.i.p.o.d]

Atari should now release a programmers kit were you can code your own games. 👍

[gamestuff]

Imagine the nintendo 64 coming back like this

[VasishthaSookraj]

Yo, this is actually insane! It can play the old cartridges AND they’re re-releasing some of the old games on CARTRIDGES?! That’s actually amazing and it really helps to preserve some gaming history in the most authentic way possible! Honestly pretty hyped for it.

[jesahnorrin]

This is amazing. Such a cool move for them to embrace their past and revive the console. What an unexpected and great move.

[spencerviz]

This is awesome! Makes me wish they could do this with other older consoles like the NES and SNES

[turnipaitor]

This is genuinely the greatest console re-release ever. Not like those emulators in a case that were released by literally every company. The fact that the original cartridges work in this is insane! Just in anticipation of the price.

[FusionDeveloper]

The game file sizes are so small, they could effortlessly have them ALL built-in or on 1 cartridge.

[sleepinglionarchives]

Cool idea.Wish more companies did something like this to bring their old consoles into the HD age. Being able to use the actual carts is so simple it's brilliant

[SonicWilliamX]

Legendary gamers from the 70s and 80s are gonna have their minds blown!
