Oh come on folks. Drop this "Nintendo needs to make a slim like the PlayStation or the XBox" nonsense. Nintendo INVENTED "teh Slims."

Everyone one knows Nintendo invented it. Even though it was done with the Atari 2600.
I actually went to someones house who had this a few months ago. I played a little Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. It was rad!

Nice try, but Intellivision did it in 1983, a year before Atari.
|
I didn't even remember it, but I had the original one and it was a lot cooler! (and actually, despite being bigger, it had a slimmer shape, just like it happened later to XB360 and XB360 Short  )

It looks more like a phone

Games included overlays that mapped the pad's keyboard to games' specific commands.
Anyhow, if you look at the control pads better, they look like something else more than a phone: they have the shape of the first Zune, just a lot better.

It looks like one is labeled "Intellivision" and the other is labeled "Intellivision II" which suggests that the difference was more than just cosmetic. Maybe they were the same, but not much point in checking since Intellivision didn't "invent" the redesigned/refreshed console.
The Magnavox Odyssey from the early 70s pre-dates the Intellivision and it had its share of hardware revisions as well.
