The Atari Intellivision Sprint video game console has been announced by the brand as a revamped version of the brand's signature entertainment system from the 1980s for consumers to pick up this winter. The system is characterized by its retro style aesthetic that includes dial-style controllers that will work with slip-in cards to customize the controls for each game. The system is preloaded video game titles that range from sports to strategy, which will work well for both adults and kids alike to try out together.
The Atari Intellivision Sprint video game console is priced at $150 and is available now for preorder with shipments slated to start December 5, 2025 to position it as a gift-ready option this holiday season.
