Hey! Were gonna talk about the new AtariBox pricing and specs, also The Roseanne Show is now in production and we have the scoop on that, and theres a ton more Retro News coming up!
Waddup to my Peoples!
Welcome back to RETRO CRUNCH, your nostalgia news show that is all about Current Pop Culture, Movies, Music, and Games that relates to all things 70s, 80s, and 90s!
Alright Alright Alright.. Finally, ATARI has put out some real news on its upcoming AtariBox and quite frankly, im a bit on the fence about it.
The price for the console is going to start at somewhere between 250-300 dollars, and this price point coincides with that of the current price on the Nintendo Switch and the Playstation 4.
According to AMD’s CEO Lisa Su, she said in a tweet that they are working a deal with Atari on building the AMD chip and Radeon graphics card that the ataribox will use.
This is good news, and at a 250.00 price point, we can probably anticipate a 6 to 8 core CPU and most likely a mid range GPU.
Also, The AtariBox will be using a Linux Operating System, much like that of the STEAM console, and this opens up a lot of opportunities for the system, like possible online gaming and playing modern game titles.
According to Atari, the console will double as a entertainment device thanks to SD card support, USB and HDMI ports and Ethernet connectivity.
This will enabling consumers the ability to stream videos, music, browse the web, and launch apps.
They also stated that the console will launch with a large back-catalog of Atari classic games, and be coupled with the ability to play games like Minecraft,
but they havent stated what modern game titles it will be capable of,
so this is an important question.
Im excited to learn more, especially when the release date is, and I’d like to get a look at what the joystick controllers will look like.
What do you guys think? Will it be more like the 2600 model or will they go with a modern Xbox controller style? Let me know in the comments section down below.
And onto some Entertainment News.
The Roseanne revival is coming in 2018, and we have some photos to show of the cast at their read table, in what im assuming is the group reviewing their lines for the upcoming first few episodes.
Theres a lot of the old faces and even a few new ones that we have not seen before.
Some newcomers to the cast are Ames McNamara, Jayden Rey, and Emma Rose Kenny, who will play the daughter of darlene and david.
And speaking of David, he wasn’t at the reading, but according to ABC, they are still in the works on trying to bring him back for the show.
John Goodman was there though, so it does appear that they are basically going to ignore the whole season finale death.
Some people may be a bit annoyed about the continuity of the show being affected, but most will just be happy that the show is back.
October 18th marked the 29th anniversary of the show, and I wouldn’t be surprised if ABC is slating for it to return on the same day in 2018.
And up next in some Retro Fashion news, Tommy Jeans is returning with a new 90s collection from its Tommy Jeans clothing line.
The collection goes back to those bright color combinations of red, white, and blue with a touch of yellow and green.
It’s a blast from the past, and for those that loved the Tommy clothes, will enjoy checking out their swag. Ill link to their site down below for you retro fashion fans.
And last up, that old show Supermarket Sweep which was popular in the 1960’s and 70s is being revived and returning to television.
Its had a few revivals over the decades, and this is just one more retro show that’s back due to nostalgic demand.
And that’s all the retro news I have for you this week.
