Sean_1970 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 1 hour ago, JetmanUK said: Same here, just emails regarding Fatal Run and Food Fight so far. I assume Ninja Golf and the joypad are still on schedule. 🤞🏻 EDIT: And now and email has just arrived regarding Ninja Golf too, 7th of June. EDIT EDIT: I just checked my order in Amazon and the controller now states a release date of the 6th June, so I assume it will be a 7th of June delivery like the carts too. EDIT EDIT EDIT: Amazon email received stating the new date of the 8th of June for the joypad. Yeah I got the same. It’s cool, I can wait 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChickenz Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) @Ben from Plaion What about a 2600+ version geared towards children. It might increase sales. Parents would even enjoy playing with their children. There are plenty of games out there for kids like Frogs and Flies, Freeway, Sneak and Peak, Maze Craze…. Packaged with the multi cart of course. It would sell like crazy at Christmas time. Children’s books sell real well. What about something like this but with more brilliant colors!

In general, I'd say today's kids - like every generation of kids - has trouble relating to and appreciating "old stuff." They also don't relate well to joysticks like that. A kid would much rather use a phone, tablet, Switch or other modern console to game like their peers. This kind of product is primarily for nostalgic adults. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that's how a lot of the original games developers could see the original console as I believe they would party/smoke a lot ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One game announcement has been held back as its being 'Enhanced' similar to Berzerk. Hopefully this is simply the start of many more releases for the 2600+ and legacy systems Hi Ben, just bumped this out of excitement. Is there an update on the enhanced game? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
