Atari announces Mini PONG Jr. console

GbaNober · Oct 21, 2020

why not if it's for nostalgia

I know it’s not the bets value, but I can imagine these will be aimed as xmas gifts for those who grew up with Pong or collectors of novelty tat.

I was tempted to get my dad the small ‘arcade-like’ Pong machine for that reason.

A device with controls made solely for I (epic) game, I love it.

Will it run crysis

No. Please, stop.
I thought gaming communities were toxic, but the industry seems far worse.

Everybody knows nothing is serious in the gaming business, but this ?

I doubt those who originally played Pong are still alive..

Hooray, another lazy cash grab from agonizing publisher.

if it costs more than 40 euro they can go f**k them self. I would never give more than 50 actually...even thats enough for this.

But i have a feeling they are trying to cache in with these "mini" consoles in general, so i presume it will cost 150 euros or something.

The tagline should be "It's fun for 3 minutes!"

These games are much more fun than you might think.
Its best in short bursts.

Can’t wait for this to be priced at $100

First deliver all the Atari VCS this October as promised, and then we can talk about your stupid cryptocurrency gig or your hotel or a new console...

This would have been cool in the early eighties I guess? Then again bavk then it would have cost way too much and then the Nes would have killed it.

It seems some are a bit too young to have spent countless hours playing electronic games back in the 70s and 80s.

Single game LCD toys like this one were extremely popular. My favourite was Astro Wars, I think I got it for Christmas 1981 or 82.

osirisjem · Oct 21, 2020

Why not play other paddle games
Like Warlords ?
Bomber ?
Breakout.

still might get it.

They're late to the Pong wars for around 40 years.

Unless this is $5 I don't see much of a point.

An unexpected gaming company is also releasing a console this holiday season: Atari. However, it's not competing to be your next-gen buy but is playing on nostalgia by bringing the classic game of PONG in a small, portable form factor.

Developed by Unis Technology, the Atari Mini PONG Jr., it measures just 30-centimeters in length and sports an LCD screen. The device features single-player matches against an AI, 2-player local multiplayer, retro arcade sound effects, and physical dials for players to control their respective PONG paddles. The device is powered by a USB cable and adapter; users can optionally install three lithium rechargeable batteries to play on the go.

7.9 Inch LCD Panel

Lithium Rechargeable battery (3) for portable use

USB powered

This new console will launch exclusively online this holiday season. Atari mentioned that it will soon announce details on pricing and pre-orders, as well as additional gaming devices. What other devices would you like to see from the company?
