Ya had to go there.. LOL! I read that they are promoting use of the name only and will not be directly owning/managing the properties. But there again, that too may be a lie.

Just more shady business tactics further bastardizing the ATARI name.

 

Atari Hotels?

This week the internet erupted with…confusion, over an announcement that a group has licensed the rights from the current owners of Atari (known as Atari SA) to develop Atari themed hotels. Reader Michael L. did a bit of research on this, finding that the company that has registered the domain name for AtariHotels.com is located in a nice house in Arizona, but not exactly an office building. I don’t know – everything Atari SA has done in recent memory seems to be with the sole aim of inflating their value in the hopes of finding a buyer of the brand and remaining IP. It’s not run by people with a real vision for tech & entertainment, it’s just about slapping the Atari name onto something and milking whatever quick bucks they can get for it. So, I can’t say I find this all that exciting by what’s been revealed so far.

I'd rather stay at a Nintendo hotel. Can you imagine it with DK at the top lobbing barrels down at the cabana?

Are you listening Nintendo? You need to get on that ASAP. Put it in vegas with the DK ride off the top, winding down the side, and through the jungle themed sections. Go all out and build a theme park like Disney did. Why shouldn't there be a Nintendo Land? The world need's a Nintendo Land!
