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.

  • Lightweight and compact in size
  • Perfect for home, office, and on-the-go
  • Play with AI or friends
  • Ten AI difficulty levels
  • Intuitive interface, simple to use controls
  • 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?

Well you know what would be better? An Atari handheld that could play Atari-exclusive games from the 2600 to the Jaguar, also including the Lynx and with mapped buttons for the 5200 and Jaguar.

I was about to point this out.
The VCS is going to be a failure, and now they announce this?
It's like they really want to fuck over themselves, are they into public humiliation or something?

I hate to be that bitch (that's a lie, I love being that bitch), but in order for the VCS to be a failure, doesn't it actually have to come out and, like, fail? Yeah yeah, it's coming in November... this time. They've lied about coming as much as I used to so my ex-boyfriend would leave me alone. I'll believe it when the voluptuous soprano finishes her aria.

As far as this little pong machine goes. It plays one game in black and white. Maybe the new Atari can get this out without fucking it up. I dunno. This may be too much tech for them to handle.
