I feel I'm the target market for this thing. I had an original intellivision growing up. We really loved that thing in my house (at the time there wasn't much better till colecovision). .
The controllers weren't great, but 16 directions! And the number pad let you enter football plays without your opponent seeing them. It was kinda unique and used for some interesting games (utopia, mindstrike). The complete lack of AI to play against the computer forced "couch competition for a lot of the the games.
Couch games aren't that common now (overcooked? marioKart..). Its expensive, but seems to come with a set of games. Small volume tech is expensive and ideally it would be cheaper. The controllers looks interesting and I imagine the screen on each ads to the cost. I like that they're trying something different.
We'll see if the games are fun, ultimately the only thing that will matter. They should reboot mindstrike. We spent hours on that.
