"Intellivision is getting a modern facelift, with the help of its old rival (in name) Atari. Loaded with 45 classic games, the Intellivision Sprint is a new system celebrating the original Atari 2600 competitor. Atari has opened up preorders for the console, which will launch December 5 for $150. Atari stated in a press release that Intellivision Sprint was created in partnership with Plaion."
"In May 2024, Atari acquired the Intellivision brand along with "the lion's share of the game catalog." Before that, the Intellivision Amico was the planned revival of the brand, which still hasn't been released yet (and will no longer bear the Intellivision name). In late 2023, Atari launched the Atari 2600+, refreshing the old system with new features like widescreen support. That same year the company bought developer Digital Eclipse, which is currently working on Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection."
Atari and Plaion collaborated to produce the Intellivision Sprint, a modern re-release of the classic Intellivision console with 45 built-in games and preorders open now for a December 5 launch at $150. The system includes two wireless controllers, two controller overlays per title, and a USB-A port for library expansion. The onboard collection features titles such as Baseball, Soccer, Astrosmash, Boulder Dash, and Sea Battle across sports, arcade, and action categories. Atari acquired the Intellivision brand and the majority of its game catalog in May 2024 and has been expanding its retro offerings and development capabilities.
