INTELLIVISION LIVES! FOR NINTENDO DS<BR>In 1980, Intellivision brought a number of innovations to home video gaming: animated characters, the first 16-bit processor, voice games. But best remembered is the unique Intellivision hand controller, featuring a directional disc, action buttons and a touchpad. Every game came with an overlay for the touchpad, with icons that helped the player quickly master the controls.<BR><BR>No game system has had a controller this sophisticated – until now. The Nintendo DS features a touch-sensitive screen to control gameplay. Using this touchscreen to display the overlay icons from the original Intellivision games, players will properly experience the thrill of these games for the first time in 25 years!<BR><BR>Intellivision Lives! for the Nintendo DS features over 30 classic Intellivision games running in full emulation. Introduced at the industry's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles in May, the public had its first chance to try it out at the Classic Gaming Expo in August.<BR><BR>A release date has not yet been scheduled, but Intellivision Lives! should be available in the first half of 2006.

<BR><BR>Just judging by this one little screenshot, this collection will be approx 10 billion and two times better than the PS2/XBox/GCN compilations (The controls just did not work...)<BR><BR>I'm almost as excited about this as I am Mario Kart.<BR><BR>Almost.

I don't know if this is true, but any classic games are fine by me.  Specially if they are classic collections on the go.  And even more bonus if the DS allows for more accurate translation of the game.

SCORE DS!!!

I have the emulator for this for one reason: Shark Shark.

My love for that game as a kid was ridiculous...

Apparently, my most anticipated game doesn't have one... This makes me sad.

What game is it?  Big brother is blocking the link for me in the hopes that I might actually get some work done.

It's Intellivision Lives; nothing to be excited about.
Title: RE: Anyone know a publisher?
Post by: UncleBob on August 10, 2006, 01:16:04 PM
That's it, I want vudu banned!

This is exactly something to be excited about.  Unlike the... less than stellar Intellivision Lives! compilations for the XBox, GCN and PS2 that just didn't work due to the Intellivision's controllers, the DS's touch screen will allow almost dead-on control of the games.  Single Cart multi-player is a major plus.

I have to agree I might pick this up.  It's something that really shouldn't of been done on the other.  I don't see that going well.

(Though I don't want Vudu banned.)

Hmm, sounds interesting!  I tend to pass on retro compilations but I love them in theory, so I hope this game finds a publisher.

Atlus.

Atlus publishes everything these days.
Title: RE: Anyone know a publisher?
Post by: Ceric on August 11, 2006, 08:25:14 AM
No... They'll do a limited online only release or someother stupid thing like that... Why Atlus Why do you have to make it so hard for me to get the games I want from you /cry

While many projects are moving forward, our most highly anticipated product is currently stalled.<BR><BR>The Nintendo DS version of Intellivision Lives! is still without a publisher. Although essentially completed and favorably reviewed by a number of video game writers, publishers are still wary of it. They’re just not sure there are enough Intellivision fans out there for it to be successful.<BR><BR>Obviously, we disagree! Please help by showing your support for Intellivision! Add us to your MySpace friends, embed our YouTube videos and spread the word! We need to show publishers that there is a strong Intellivision community out there!

<BR><BR>I got this in my mailbox today.  It makes me sad.  I\'m not certian adding their MySpace or YouTube links would be the absolute best way to accomplish the goal of making this game real.<BR><BR>Anyone have any ideas?

That's a games compilation, right? Most likely composed of games that have proven themselves in the market, right?
Title: RE:Intellivision Lives! doesn't on the DS
Post by: UncleBob on January 28, 2007, 12:05:05 AM
Yeah, about 25+ years ago, though.  I'm not certian that the PS2/XBox/GCN versions of INTV Lives! did all that well, but the games just wern't designed for "standard" controllers.  The DS's touchscreen would be spectacular for this, though.

What's their YouTube video? =x

This is sad. I never got to play the Intellivision much as a kid, so getting Intellivision Lives! on PS2 was pretty exciting ... Until I played it and had an awful time with the controls. Touch screen would be PERFECT.

Intellivision on the DS - Looking Good for 2009!

Written by Keith Robinson   
Tuesday, 04 November 2008

The question I'm asked most frequently is "When is the DS version coming out?" Excellent question. It has been over three years since we first showed Intellivision Lives! for DS at the 2005 E3. Dozens of publishers have evaluated the product, and all have passed. The problem isn't the quality of the collection itself; we've received nothing but enthusiastic feedback. The problem is the bean counters for these publishers. In August, one company told us in an e-mail, "We intend to publish this game..." In September, they reversed themselves because "...the projected return did not justify the capital expenditure..." My frustration is that we have to find a licensed Nintendo publisher to get the DS version released; Nintendo does not have a path that would allow us to distribute Intellivision Lives! ourselves directly to the public.

That is changing soon. Nintendo is planning on releasing the successor to the DS, the DSi, in Spring 2009. The DSi will be able to upload complete games - including Intellivision Lives! - through a service similar to Wii Ware and Xbox Live Marketplace (which now carries our Xbox version). We are still trying to find a publisher for the current DS, but I am excited that even if that doesn't happen, you will all finally be able to play the DS version with the DSi.

Nintendo hasn't yet released details of how publishing to the DSi is going to work, so none of this is official; that's why I'm talking about it here in a blog instead of in the News column. But we have opened communication with Nintendo and I hope we can make an official announcement soon. Thanks for your patience; it looks like in 2009 it will be Springtime for Intellivision!

I'm assuming this company owns the rights to all first party Intellivision games.  So why don't they get on the VC?  They could then sell all these games individually and possibly make more money.  The compilation method is better for us but if you want the compilation it's been out for years so that option is available to you.  From a business perspective I think it's a golden opportunity.

... Have they tried Euro publishers? The smaller American publishers may have turned into bumbling arseholes this generation (aside from the likes of XSEED), but they'd have no trouble getting this out in Europe. At least then American's could import it.

I enjoyed Intellivision Lives! on PS2, but the controls really hurt it. I can see a DS version working much, much better (touch screen controller <3). Good luck to these guys, anyway!

No Intellivision game is worth buying individually.

Liar.  I'd pay $5 for TRON: Deadly Discs.  $20 if you let me play it online.

Still EXCITE about this, will support so hard. Unless no online import retailers bother to stock it.

I was gonna grab this in the store if I saw it.  At $15 I can't refuse.  But now I wanna order that special bundle.  It will probably sell out before I make up my mind.

Title: Re: Intellivision Lives! DS
Post by: UncleBob on October 18, 2010, 08:07:55 PM
Some people have.  I thought about it, but decided to just get one so that I could leave one for someone else and pick up a second copy in a store to throw some retail support toward the title.
