Thanks to Michael Thomasson of Good Deal Games <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/519858548078322\/permalink\/1711009618963203\/\">for the initial heads-up<\/a> on the update to what is tentatively being called the Collectorvision Game System (CGS).<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a summary of the major features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HDMI video output directly from the system<\/li>\n<li>SGM support<\/li>\n<li>Added SNES controller port, which will allow the use of the Super Famicom NTT DATA game controller, as well as allow those without a ColecoVision controller to play the system with a standard Super NES controller (although the player two port will still need to have a keypad-based controller).<\/li>\n<li>Expansion port that will allow future add-ons\u00a0(not compatible with the two original expansion modules)<\/li>\n<li>Power and Reset buttons modeled after &#8220;the joystick of docked controllers&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>(They are still working to see which cores will be available at launch)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps best of all is that Dupuis is also\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/atariage.com\/forums\/topic\/265958-collectorvision-game-system\/?p=3998309\">reporting on AtariAge<\/a> that they&#8217;re planning on a fresh design for a new type of ColecoVision-compatible controller. This is great news for those of us who prefer to not deal with the quirks of original, aging ColecoVision controllers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7080\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/post-45248-0-20182700-1522588604.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7080\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/post-45248-0-20182700-1522588604.png?resize=760%2C378\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/post-45248-0-20182700-1522588604.png?w=760&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/post-45248-0-20182700-1522588604.png?resize=150%2C75&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/post-45248-0-20182700-1522588604.png?resize=300%2C149&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7080\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A rough mock-up of the Collectorvision Game System<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Although there are other ColecoVision-related console projects in the works, this one is perhaps the most intriguing since it should be the most flexible.
