One distinct feature of the Studio II was its five built-in games. Also unique to the Studio II was its use of an automatic switchbox that relayed both the modulated RF signal of the console's video to the Television set while automatically powering the console with DC power.

The Studio II was not a successful product as it was immediately made obsolete by the superior Atari 2600 console and was soon discontinued.
