Atari is plugging ahead with their new system and have made inroads into their offerings for it as they have announced a partnership with Ultra, the blockchain-powered entertainment service.
The Indie Live Expo Spring 2026 Showcase happened, and the Indie Spotlight segment of the event included plenty of reveals and world premieres.
In an exclusive interview with Game File, new(ish) Xbox boss Asha Sharma and Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty explain their vision for Microsoft’s gaming division
A good start would be to release games to go with the console. My Xbox Series X has gathered dust virtually from launch. My advice would be to ditch a next console and release games on PC, PlayStation and Switch. Another idea would be a hybrid console based on Xbox Series X tech and go the same route as Nintendo. Another idea would be to pull out of gaming altogether. Plenty of options there.
These classics need to make a return.
Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.
I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.
I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.
DOA
Literally everything about this newer "Atari" company is sketchy, shady, and weird.
Still don't know what this Stadia 2.0 is suppose to do the price you have to pay just to play 2600 games was the last thing I read. Just seems a waste you're better off doing an av mod and play an actual 2600 or buy a 7200 they are both cheap enough.
Atari remaking ET as an exclusive
The problem for me is that this console serves no purpose. Its a box with old atari games and no new games. I maybe would have bought this out of curiosity but now the Xbox Series X and PS5 has my money. I will not spare or take off another better gaming console off my hdmi port, to plug in this nothing of a console.
The price of this thing is between a Series S, Nintendo Switch, and a PS5 all digital. The VCS is completely DOA. This should have released last year or be delayed another year or two or ummm forever.
