ATARI’S NEW GAMESTATION GO HANDHELD IS A RETRO-FUTURISTIC MARVEL

Atari has unveiled the Gamestation Go, an all-new handheld device with a few bizarre features that contribute nicely to a retro-futuristic vibe. In a short trailer uploaded on social media, we’re given a glimpse at the new console, which features typical button-based inputs alongside a keypad, paddle, and a Trak-Ball input.

An Icon, Reimagined

Atari is preparing to fully showcase the Gamestation Go handheld console at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, which will commence on January 7.

The first whispers of this device surfaced more than a year ago when it was revealed that Atari was partnering with MyArcade to piece together a handheld unit with these very features. That collaboration has come to fruition with the Gamestation Go.

At CES 2024, the ‘Gamestation Portable’ was revealed, featuring:

A 7-inch high-resolution display

Paddle, Trak-Ball, and keypad inputs

Officially licensed titles

The original design showcased at CES 2024 has undergone a few changes, with the team making some aesthetic tweaks and shifting some buttons around.
