Huh. Interesting use of the Jaguar shell.

Jagovision? Is this a joke within a joke? It's still the RetroVGS.

Its being marketed by Colecovision - not RetroVGS. They are providing the guts but the CV folks have bought into the vision.

Colecovision, why not... much better than RVGS

Hope they can get investors to put together a prototype.

Is there any cool games titles that comes with Coleco?

Actually you could not be more wrong lol. Don't believe the hype, it IS a rebranded RetroVGS, there is no CV folks, just new articles very wrongly implying that "COLECO IS BACK !" it is just a brand / IP - Suggest you check out THIS thread for what is really going on http://atariage.com/forums/topic/235430-how-has-this-not-been-posted-yet-retro-vgs/page-174?do=findComment&comment=3393348

Coleco is just a brand from a company that sells the rights to use those brands. The RetroVGS people are using the Coleco name under license.

I totally get its the RetroVGS product - what I didnt realize was RetroVGS bought the IP rights vs the CV IP holders buying the RetroVGS rights to sell.

I've seen a lot of misleading headlines lately. I have nothing against the RetroVGS guys but I'm still waiting for concrete information on their latest hardware revision and new business plan. That will determine my excitement level.

Fixed that for you :-

Maybe they'll offer a print-your-own kit?

That'd be more fun than actually playing anything on the console.

I can't help myself but repost this. This is just such an awesome quote from the previous attempt:

A prototype in the making, according to their facebook https://www.facebook.com/RETROVGS/

"Hello everyone. You have all seen the announcement we will be branding our new console under the COLECO name. We are excited to be a part of the revitalization of a great American brand and are working hard to build a system that will live up to the reputation of the original company and their gaming products. Many have mentioned they are still awaiting actual prototype hardware and wondering what is inside COLECO Chameleon. As we've said before we have made great progress over the last two months, but are waiting until we have the prototype 100% buttoned up before going public so we avoid the issues from before, talking about things, making changes, etc. So please, continue being patient with us while we do what you all want, making and demonstrating a playable prototype. Once we have this, all will be revealed. And rest assured, it will be at a very inviting price point. Thanks again for all your support, comments and questions."

I'm not in any way trying to insinuate that any person involved would do such a thing but can you imagine if they "borrowed" or "stole" someone else's work for the actual motherboard? I don't wish failure on many projects but that would seriously be the rotten cherry on this catastrophe sundae.

I like their passion and drive, but the original RetroVGS was hampered with so much controversy that I don't see it being a good idea anymore. Logistics of using cartridges in modern times is already troublesome, but dusting off the old Coleco branding and putting it on the thing isn't really helping their case.

 

Still, interested to see if this will become anything substantial or not.
