On the short list of companies that the retro gaming community can fully appreciate, MyArcade undoubtedly sits at the top. Working alongside Atari, the gadgeteers have churned out a collaborative console lineup, highlighted by the brand-new Gamestation Plus.
While anything with the ’70s-era company’s name attached to it typically implies a somewhat clunky, primitive look, the new release deviates itself a bit, boasting a refined, modern edge to it that retains some nostalgic appeal. It is equipped with a pair of RGB-lit, battery-powered joysticks that are also USB-C and Bluetooth compatible, going to show how far the gaming world has truly come. The console’s front panel is rounded out with RGB lighting and aeration holes.
Functionally, the Gamestation offers a user-friendly interface and is expected to have a bevy of pre-installed games. However, MyArcade has yet to provide additional information regarding any specific titles. Additionally, products outside of the Gamestation include Atari-inspired takes on MyArcade’s Pocket Player and Microplayer, the latter of which is ideal for handheld enthusiasts. It boasts an all-red D-pad, stripes galore, and merely two buttons, but there is still little information regarding which games it will have built-in.
MyArcade’s nostalgia-inducing collaboration with Atari will soon be available to pre-order from the former’s webshop. No pricing details have been disclosed yet.
