There is a new, cartridge based console due out soon. It's aimed at fans of 16 bit games (SNES/Megadrive (Genesis) etc) and so has similar hardware specifications. And no, I'm not joking, and this isn't a late April fools joke.
And the new console, known as the Retro VGS, is being made to deliberately look like the Atari Jaguar. And NO, I am not joking, they really are (a) making a games console with specifications that would have been outdated twenty-years ago, and (b) making it look like one of the biggest failures in console history.
For details (and to see that I'm not lying!), go to:

Even though I won't be buying one, I hope it pleases fans of the 16 bit systems, and is a success. But I have to say that I really, really can't see how this can be anything other than a total commercial failure.
