It is 2021, and I'm not playing on an Xbox or PlayStation. Instead, I'm playing Atari. The company has returned with a new console: Atari VCS.
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.
I was really hoping for an Atari box that focused on all of Atari from Arcade to Jaguar.
I'll just stick to my 2600, 5200, and 7800 unless this thing includes games from the Atari pc line up as well.
To be honest, I backed this project when it was still on Indiegogo. I regret it as it definitely isn't worth it's price (to me). I won't get enough use out of it to justify. It was a novelty purchase, and I added it to my collection, but it won't be turned on that often.
$400 to play asteroids, missile command and centipede?....
Ummmmm, No thanks.
$400 can buy a Switch(with some games), Series S, or a PS5D
No jaguar no jag cd ?!? Even though they suck it's very pricey for those consoles now a days so 199 to try the whole catalog wouldve been ya know that awful kinda fun if nothing else
