New Atari VCS System

I’ve been following the progress of this troubled system. It will probably be a waste of money like the Ouya, but I don’t think I can help myself.

Atari VCS Console Launches June 15, Includes 100 Classic Atari Games
“Atari's new console may look retro, but it's built to be a modern multimedia machine. More than a dozen modern games--including Atari's own Missile Command: Recharged--will come included with the console, in addition to 100 classic Atari 2600 and arcade games. Users also get access to Antstream Arcade, a game streaming service with a large collection of retro games available.”

i have the Atari Flashback which is pretty cheap. the issue is the controllers are really bad. playing these old games with real controllers would be nice..

i have tons of stuff that work on the PC with sim software but controllers are the same issue there..

Yeah, the controllers for this new system are supposed to be good. The classic-style one looks really cool. It apparently also functions like a paddle.

the fact it accepts all the major ones is a big plus
