      Nah, Intellivision died like regular. Mattel spun off INTV, which later made a few NES games, which meant anti-competitive licensing deals precluded making their own console. By 1991 they had no money. Late 90s to mid-2010s, the rights get passed around for assorted retro compilations and a decent-looking micro-console.

      It only gets stupid once Tommy Tallarico bought the rights in 2018 and - for starters - decided to make each controller a weird little tablet unto itself.
