Atari’s Gamestation Go: Retro Handheld with Modern Twist

Atari’s Gamestation Go: A Retro Handheld Reimagined

Atari offers a sneak peek at its upcoming Gamestation Go handheld console. The teaser image showcases a design blending retro aesthetics with modern features.

Classic Controls, Modern Console

The Gamestation Go boasts a button layout typical of a 2025 handheld, but with a unique twist: it includes both a paddle and a trackball, along with a number keypad. This design nods to Atari’s legacy while offering contemporary functionality.

Key features hinted at include:

• Paddle controls
• Trackball
• Number keypad

More to Come at CES 2025

While details remain scarce, Atari promises more information at CES 2025, starting January 7th. The announcement also teased potential Intellivision content, following Atari’s acquisition of the brand last year, ending what they call the longest-running console war in history.

This acquisition opens exciting possibilities for Intellivision fans, with the potential for classic Intellivision games to be available on the new handheld. Atari’s competition with Mattel’s Intellivision in the late 70s and 80s is a significant piece of gaming history.
