+DZ-Jay Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Anything HD from AtGames this year will be 4:3 native. If the Intellivision Flashback 2 does end up getting made, I don't anticipate an HD model, unfortunately. Oh, cool, then more hope for an Intellivision Flashback 3. (just kidding!)

Hwlngmad Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think it is great news that the flashback sequel is being green-lit at all. However, considering how AtGames has updated the Atari Flashback at a snail's pace recently, I have guarded optimism at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte Knight Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Rats! I can't stand the poor picture quality of a FB on an HD TV! Agreed! AtGames needs to up their game. The NES Classic Mini has set the new standard with HDMI output and save states for games. Well worth the extra $20! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillLoguidice Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Agreed! AtGames needs to up their game. The NES Classic Mini has set the new standard with HDMI output and save states for games. Well worth the extra $20! There will be premium HD releases of the Atari and Sega stuff to go along with the usual iterative releases this year. It's highly unlikely any of the secondary stuff like the Intellivision Flashback 2, assuming it gets the go-ahead, will be in HD. There's just not enough time to do much more than a minor update (at best) of the existing Intellivision Flashback hardware. Of course, we'll see how it all shakes out, but it's better not to expect too much in terms of hardware changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte Knight Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Thanks as always for your insider insight Bill! Good to hear that they're at least upgrading some of their consoles to HDMI... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was inevitable that that original "announcement" (which wasn't supposed to go out in the first place) would take on a life of its own. The reality still remains the same, regardless. The game list is still being worked on, with nothing new finalized as of yet, which of course still makes an actual Flashback 2 release still only a possibility rather than a given.

The deluxe HD version will have no such issues. It's still unclear if the SD version will have the core sound issue fixed, but there will be improved output.

BillLoguidice Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Will there be a deluxe portable? There are supposed to be some changes from the previous year (still waiting for that to be finalized), but only one model of portable each. The only things getting the "Standard" (i.e., usual low price) and "Deluxe" (i.e., more expensive, a la something like the NES Mini) treatments are the Sega and Atari consoles.

What country are you from? Anyway, while I agree that AtGames should have addressed the sound bug earlier, you're wrong about the "doesn't play most Genesis Carts" thing. Their stuff has roughly Genesis 3/Nomad compatibility levels. That includes things like many flash carts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
