The information is now formally official; Atari and My Arcade are releasing three new console collaborations!

We had a bunch of hints dropped on their Twitter accounts prior to now week, and we knew the pair had been going to be saying a minimum of three new consoles on the CES 2023 occasion.

Some of these Twitter posts made it fairly apparent what was coming. But they hadn’t truly stated something concerning the consoles in addition to the photographs.

So now that the three console releases are official, let’s check out what’s coming from Atari and My Arcade of their thrilling collaboration.

My Arcade Atari Micro Player

The first console from Atari and My Arcade is the long-lasting Micro Player, one which we’ve got seen from My Arcade many occasions prior to now.

We knew that My Arcade and Atari had been working collectively, and we noticed a bunch of darkish photographs of a small arcade cupboard. So this one was fairly apparent.

Admittedly, these mini arcade consoles are extra for collectors and show functions than to really play them.

But in the event you’re a giant Atari fan or any individual who spent loads of time in actual arcades, this can be a cool throw-back to these recollections.

Actually.. now that I put it that method.. I’d need one too. Dang. See how they get you?

We anticipate the Atari Micro Player to come back in at $59.99usd and have 10-20 video games.

My Arcade Atari Pocket Player

You know we love our handheld consoles right here at Retro Dodo, so we had been desirous to see the brand new moveable console collaboration.

Based on the not so elusive photographs, we knew it will be one among My Arcade’s Pocket Player gadgets.

These are fairly neat trying handhelds, and are excellent collectible show items whereas additionally being truly playable. And they arrive loaded with a small variety of video games for a good value.

The Data East Pocket Player got here loaded with 8 formally licensed Data East titles and 300 further throw-away sort video games. And that one was solely $39.99.

We ought to assume that the brand new Atari iteration would come loaded with fairly just a few traditional video games, and would probably be a premium-price mannequin.

All of My Arcade’s Pocket Player consoles are $39.99 besides the Contra Pocket Player which is $59.99.

Safe to wager that the Atari Pocket Player can even be $59.99usd. Fingers crossed that it comes with greater than 10 video games (can we a minimum of get a high 20?).

My Arcade Atari Gamestation Plus

The most enjoyable console collaboration from Atari and My Arcade was the brand new Gamestation Plus. This factor is ab-so-lutely attractive!

Like the opposite bulletins, there wasn’t loads of information given. But that is the one console that Atari posted on their very own twitter. Clearly it’s the one they’re most happy with.

Atari did make clear that the Gamestation Plus will embrace a group of video games from the Atari 2600, Atari 7800, and Atari Arcade.

So that is gonna be the definitive option to play the perfect Best Atari 2600 Games And Best Atari 7800 Games on an actual Atari console (in addition to an authentic, when you have it).

It is technically not Atari’s first entry within the “mini” market. But that is actually the extremely premium entry we’ve been ready for.

Atari VCS

It can also be necessary to handle the Atari VCS console that was launched in 2021.

Because lots of people had assumed that this might be the best way Atari meant us to play their traditional video games on a brand new Atari console.

But Atari has not turned the VCS right into a full fledged retro recreation machine, and so they have solely launched fourteen Atari 7800 video games for the console by means of the net retailer.

It doesn’t appear to be the Atari VCS might be receiving a full library of digital video games obtainable for obtain. Not but, a minimum of.

And some Twitter feedback expressed their issues about this. Like possibly the Atari VCS is being overstepped or fully changed.

It can also be why we had guessed that the brand new residence console announcement can be some kind of second iteration of the Atari VCS (possibly an Atari VCS 2).

Conclusions concerning the Gamestation Plus

We can assume that we might see a few of these Atari VCS recreation entries repeated on the Gamestation Plus, along with many extra classics that weren’t obtainable on the VCS.

(If my investigation abilities are of any use: Looking on the fundamental picture posted by Atari, there are about 54 video games proven on the desk high under the console.)

I’m not anticipating that the brand new Gamestation Plus could have any kind of on-line recreation obtain operate just like the VCS. Seems to be a preloaded gadget that’s what it’s whenever you purchase it.

Because many of the finest Atari video games can be found on many different platforms, we should always not measure the worth of the Gamestation Plus in what video games are solely obtainable on the gadget.

The worth of the Gamestation Plus is in its lovely design, the premium construct high quality, these attractive inbuilt LED lights, and the traditional model joystick controllers.

It’s all a few return to that distinctive and magical expertise of interacting with the console.

This simply so occurs to be essentially the most lovely trendy launch from Atari.
