got my Atari Flashback Classics for Switch today!! I am happy, pretty good ports (same as the xb1/ps4 games). Yes, it has a setting that says "ask me for portrait mode games" so if you want i to rotate it should for those games.

Ataribox, or atarivcs, already showed off that pretty cool joystick, why not just bundle that with the AtGames Atari Classics? Although they arlready cost $40, that thing would drive price up to $65 at least. But I would much rather have a great throwback joystick to play on a modern console I already own. And this is not limited to Atari, Intellivision should do the same (bundle controller/games)

I might get people yelling at me for this, but would AtGames consider building Atari 2600 joysticks/paddles or Atari 5200 controller with USB for the Switch/XB1/PS4? I think having replica hardware to play some of the games with would be great. And they already have the molds/joysticks in production, would just be changing the connector and maybe programming a board to let the console think it is a regular controller

Ok looks like Walmart took all references to a date for the Flashback Switch release. BUT, I found it on Target with a date of 12/4. Gamestop still has 11/26, which is odd since it is a Monday. Fingers crossed 12/4 is an actual date and not a place holder!

ugh, on walmart my preorder for Atari Flashback Classics on Switch is saying "pick up in store Jan 3 (will ship Dec 31)". Hope that is some sort of error. Gamestop still says Nov 9. I guess I can order from them tomorrow if Walmart keeps pulling these shinanigans. They did that with my Arcade1up cabs, and like a sucker I went back for more punishment.

I have the flashback classics for switch ordered via walmart, really hope it comes this week. I think I might pass on Vol 3 for ps4. Have 1 and 2 on both ps4 and xbox1, but I dont think the lineup on vol 3 is that great. That said, the lineup on the switch version is fantastic and really looking forward to it. Dont mind paying the premium over the other consoles since I am gettint more than 3x the games... Love what Tommy Tallarico is doing with Amico, but sure wish they would release an intellivision compilation like this for the switch. Throw in that new touch screen controller and it would be the best thing that happened since the 1980 original release. Oh, and AtGames, why not make a Bluetooth Atari Joystick for the switch/PC for these games? How cool would that be. And Bluetooth paddles. That is all I want for now, thank you!

I know right? and on the switch? perfect combo. I just wish they included some history, some vintage commercials, cool museum like stuff.

https://www.atari.com/games/atari-flashback-classics-switch/has the listing. Games are pretty sweet.

ok so maybe it will come out this week. I agree, the games list is pretty spectacular. Don't think I have seen any offer 2600, 5200, and arcade. And not only that, they have multiple versions like all 3 millipedes, breakout, etc. Switch is turning into the retro lovers dream, Atari, SNK, Genesis, NES classics....all good so far.

Hello all, does anyone know about the AtGames Atari Flashback Classics for Nintendo Switch? I have it pre-ordered via Walmart, and it has release date for 11/6 or 11/8 (keeps changing). Is this the actual release date? I knew it was coming, but was hoping someone in here would confirm that as the date. Next to my Arcade1up Asteroids cab, this will be my most anticipated atari purchase of the year (unless I get the arcade1up Centipede cab for christmas). Thanks in advance for the info.

I actually bought paddle controls from AtGames for my flashback 5, wonder if they will work with the new Atari flashback 8? I think the paddles complete the package, making games like breakout and kaboom much more authentic.
