Atari's resurrecting the Intellivision, one of its biggest competitors in the '80s
"The Sprint looks a lot like the original Intellivision with a gold and black case and a wood-grain panel on the front, but there are a lot fewer cables. It connects to a TV using a single HDMI cable, and while it still includes two controllers featuring dials and number pads instead of joysticks, they're both wireless and charge when docked to the console."
"The Sprint has the original Intellivision's number pad overlays, but with new designs and updated artwork to make it easier to know what buttons you need to press to play different games. It comes with 45 built-in titles, including classics like Boulder Dash and Astrosmash, plus a collection of sports games that helped popularize the original version of the console."
Atari and Plaion collaborated to create the Intellivision Sprint, a modern reimagining of Mattel's 1979 Intellivision console. The Sprint reproduces the original aesthetic with a gold and black case and wood-grain front while simplifying connectivity with a single HDMI cable. Two controllers retain dials and number pads, are wireless, and charge when docked. The system includes redesigned number pad overlays and 45 built-in titles such as Boulder Dash and Astrosmash plus sports games. The console lacks cartridge support but provides USB-A ports for additional titles or to connect original controllers via an adapter. Preorders start at $149.99 with shipping on December 5, 2025.
