Rosen believes the retro market has the potential to grow further, and I’d love to see that happen. Atari is pushing further into production of actual Atari 2600 cartridges, and the company wants to expand into the retro market. This partnership must have been what Atari CEO Wade Rosen was hinting at when I recently spoke with him. It might not be for someone like me who owns most of these consoles, but for the retro gamer who just wants a consolidated and flexible platform, I can see the appeal.Īnyway, that’s sort of beside the point. The 90% compatibility gives me pause, but on the plus side, you can side-load fanmade patches that can give you HD graphics or translations. The system uses “top-tier emulation,” which is a pretty broad term. However, there are modules that allow you to play cartridge games for N64, SNES, NES, Sega Genesis, and Turbografx-16. The base unit has disc support for the PS1, Sega Saturn, Sega CD, TurboGrafx-CD, and NEOGEO CD. It’s a modular console that supports all manner of retro consoles. This will effectively provide all of the functionality of a Polymega console to Atari VCS owners.”Īs someone heavily invested in retro games, it surprises me that I haven’t heard of the Polymega. According to the press release, “the Atari VCS will add support for the Polymega App and the Polymega Remix add-on. The strategy of this partnership is to create hardware and software integration between the Polymega and the Atari VCS. Atari has announced a new partnership with Playmaji Inc, the creators of the Polymega console platform.
