Atari's ATARIBOX System Has An Official Name...And Not Much Else
Atari's retro Ataribox console has been more sizzle than steak since it was first unveiled last summer, with delays and a distinct lack of game announcements dampening the enthusiasm. And unfortunately, that trend is mostly continuing today. The company has announced that it's rebranding the Ataribox as the Atari VCS in a nod to the 2600's little-used full name and plans to show prototypes of the system, the Classic Joystick and the Modern Controller at the Game Developers Conference this week. However, that's about all it's showing.
I do like how they’re aping the classic look and feel, but with nothing planned, what’s stopping the new Atari VCS from turning into the next Ouya?
