Fans of classic video gaming have another launch to look forward to, and this time it is the launch of a new Intellivision console almost three decades after the original system was discontinued.
Intellivision Entertainment announced on Tuesday that it is rolling out a new console. The original system became a staple family gaming computer after its launch in the late 1970s.
In a press release, the company promised that it will introduce a new system with “the concept of simple, affordable, family & fun.”
The original Intellivision console was distributed in 1979 in North America, Japan, Brazil, the United Kingdom and other regions until it was discontinued in 1990. The company has confirmed that the reimagined gaming console will be released “across the world.”
Specifications and other details about the upcoming Intellivision console are still under wraps. But the company is stirring up excitement among gaming geeks after announcing that a lot of the developers who were involved in the making of the original Intellivision system and games are also working on the new console and its accompanying software.
Intellivision paved the way for the development of many 16-bit video games, some of which are going to be relaunched as well. Intellivision Entertainment president and industry veteran Tommy Tallarico confirmed to GamesBeat that at least 10 games are going to be released alongside the console.
Intellivision catered to many popular classic video games, including “B-17 Bomber,” “Major League Baseball,” “Bomb Squad,” “Space Spartans” and more.
In the same interview, Tallarico was open about what they plan for the new Intellivision console, saying that they are not targeting hardcore gamers but families.
“We want simplicity. There is no system where young and old and non-gamers can play together in the home. People play on mobile, but it is still a very solitary experience,” Tallarico added.
More details on the upcoming family-oriented gaming console will be revealed on Oct. 1.
