Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro and Atari have announced that they have settled a dispute from 2009 over the Dungeons & Dragons brand.
Resolution Games and Wizards of the Coast are bringing one of the greatest collaborations ever in DEMEO X DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: BATTLEMARKED!
Atari has revealed classic game patch packs for fans and collectors.
The Atari 7800+ follows on the heels of last year's Atari 2600+.
In essence, its a shell swap of the 2600+ they released previously, since they will both play the same games. I know its a bit of a stretch... but why not make a Jaguar+ that plays the Jag, 7800, 5200 and 2600 games in one? Throw in a Lynx adapter (ala super gameboy) and then you can play the portable games on the big screen too.
In addition to that make the games built in and stuff the cartridge support.
So they can support it like their Ouya... I mean VCS (I have both too ugh.). No thanks. There are very few great Atari games from that era, most of the good Atari games came way later and were arcade based. So rather than get get a compilation of those games (pretty much available on any console), it's better to spend a big chunk on another console so you can stick carts of terrible games that are basically the same game with a couple changes in control direction or a sprite. Hellz nopes. You are better off spending that money on a retro/import console and building a real library, rather than another regurgitation from a company cosplaying as Atari.
Glad they got that figured out, just sucks Neverwinter is getting delayed as a result. RIP, Gary Gygax.
RPGs are better done with a pencil, paper and mountain dew. Good to know they've settled things.
I'm willing to bet the game will now come out in October 2012, when the third Neverwinter novel from R.A. Salvatore is released.
Good news I guess.
I think this also means we won't see any other "daggerdale"....... I hope.
