Yesterday Atari shared some more information on
their new Ataribox console and now we have some more information on the
console. Atari revealed in a recent email that the console will come with
‘modern specs’ and that the console will play both old school Atari games and
also new games.
This suggests that as well as developing the console
with the latest hardware, Atari has also been working on developing games for
the system, which means that it will be more than just a retro console like the
recent Nintendo ones.
What we do know so far is the the new Ataribox will
come in two different versions, one will be a wood edition which from the looks
of the photos takes its design inspiration from the Atari 2600, the other
console will be a black and red edition.
It will be interesting to see what this new Atarbox
console is like, as Atari has plans to use up to date specifications in the
device, we wonder if the console will be designed to compete with the
PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch.
We are expecting Atari to launch their new
console before the end of the year, as it would be a good move for them to make
it available before the holiday shopping season.
