Atari Introduces the Gamestation Go - Pre-Orders Available

Published 2 months, 4 weeks ago by Demonxz95

Not too long after announcing the Pac-Man collection, Atari has now announced the Gamestation Go, a new handheld gaming device with over 200 games. You can play a variety of Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, and Arcade games, as well as some modern renditions of some of their old icons. Not all those control schemes will work well for all their old games, but that's where Atari thought ahead, because the Gamestation Go features a track ball, keypad, free-spinning paddle, traditional face buttons, and it's basically a swiss army knife in controller form.

The device can be hooked up to a TV to with an HDMI connector, or you can attach external controllers to it with USB-C ports. On a single charge, the battery is said to last anywhere from 4 to 5 hours. On top of it, the device can connect to Wi-Fi for on the fly updates, although it's unsure if it can also use this for other purposes too. The device can be preordered for $179.99 USD.
