ColecoVision and Intellivision Flashback classic gaming consoles are on their wa
IronManDS:
Very accurate. In fact, I'm wondering if that's why it doesn't have a cart slot to play originals....
UncleBob:
I doubt that's why.
A) It wouldn't make sense that they'd need some kind of license or permission to release new hardware that just plays old carts.
B) Atari and Genesis both had licensed titles on them and they somehow managed to release the consoles with ports on them.
I'd guess the real reason is that they're waiting for a Flashback 2 model. ;)
Ozzy_98:
The games will most likely be the same ones from Intelivision Lives and the classic gamer colecovision titles.
Oh and a new resident evil title too...
Edit: Oh and the flash back consoles for Atari didn't have cart ports. The first Atari flashback wasn't even an Atari, it was a nes on a chip with Atari games ported to it. Later ones could be hacked to add a cart port.
Falconhood:
What WAS the logic in putting a cart-port on the Sega 80 game system, and none of the other flashbacks?
Ozzy_98:
I think the sega one is the latest one. I do know (Well ok, the story I heard goes) when they made the first Atari one, their contract with Atari had stipulations of when it had to be in stores, so rather than design an Atari on a chip, they used an existing nes on a chip, and ported the games. They may have had more time for the sega one.
Not seeing any nes roms from the first flashback is strange though. Never seeing the insides of one, makes me wonder if it is a NOAC or not.
