Atari is reviving the Intellivision with a new console called the Intellivision Sprint, which combines '80s aesthetics with modern features like wireless controllers, HDMI connectivity, and built-in games, set to release in December 2025 for $149.99.
Ordz Games has announced the BitBoy One, a retro-inspired handheld gaming console that allows players to earn Bitcoins while playing blockchain-connected games. The device, which resembles popular mini-retro handhelds, is expected to cost around $500 and will also function as a crypto wallet. It will support playing classic games and earning cryptocurrency, but the specifics of its capabilities and release date remain vague, with the creator acknowledging that the device's mining power is weak and not intended for significant earnings.
Playdate, the retro-styled portable console, is holding its first sitewide games sale to celebrate the one-year anniversary of its online store, offering discounts on indie games exclusive to the platform. The sale features notable discounts on titles like Playmaker and Under the Castle, with some games priced as low as $2. However, the highly anticipated game Mars After Midnight is not included in the sale. The Playdate, known for its unique hand-powered crank control mechanism, also offers new owners 24 free games with the purchase of the $200 console, which now ships within a few days.
