I feel like they're trying to insult my intelligence. "Look, it's Coleco! You dumb hipster bastards will buy it now, right?"

The pinned comment in that article is key. Essentially someone sold them the name to use. It isn't coleco.

Speaking of which, does Mattel even have the rights to the Intellivision name anymore? No mention of Mattel on Intellivision Lives! or the latest Flashback system...

Keith Robinson, one of the Blue Sky Rangers, owns the rights to Intellivision and is responsible for all the re-release stuff like Intellivision Lives! In interviews he always seems pretty passionate about the work they did.

Here he is helping to market the Flashback at E3:

A total now of three fake prototypes.

The fallout has even seen a few "youtube celebrities" have a go at each other.

Wow. I can't believe someone would even try that. The retro community is much more keen on these things. Did they think enthusiasts of our nature aren't going to notice details like that?
