“Uniting Atari and Intellivision after 45 years ends the longest-running console war in history,”

Sure, but they both lost the war long ago. This is just some archeologist coming along to display both their bones in a museum hoping to boost gift shop sales.

Two of my favorite consoles of all time. If they could do an updated retro console based on the Intellivision II and allow playing Atari 2600 games without buying a separate adapter I would be in heaven.

I have bins of games, but my controllers did not age 40+ years all that well. 😞

I cannot speak to Intelliviaion, but you can get 2600 replacement controllers. If you've still got them it's also likely that you can get someone to repair them if the issue is the electronics.
