Former Mattel Electronics Senior Vice President of Marketing, Terrence Valeski, understood that although losses were huge, the demand for video games increased in 1983.<ref name = INTV>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20170614/http://www.intellivisionlives.com/bluesky/games/credits/intv.shtml#comments INTV Corp Releases]}} intellivisionlives.com</ref> Valeski found investors and purchased the rights to Intellivision, the games, and inventory from Mattel.<ref name = nyt84 /> A new company, Intellivision Inc, was formed and by the end of 1984 Valeski bought out the other investors and changed the name to INTV Corporation. They continued to supply the large toy stores and sold games through direct mail order. At first they sold the existing inventory of games and Intellivision II systems. When the inventory of games sold out they produced more, but without the Mattel name or unnecessary licenses on the printed materials. To lower costs, the boxes, instructions, and overlays were produced at lower quality compared to Mattel.

In France, the Mattel Electronics office found investors and became '''Nice Ideas''' in April 1984. They continued to work on Intellivision, Colecovision, and other computer games. They produced Intellivision ''World Cup Soccer'' and ''Championship Tennis'', both released in 1985 by European publisher Dextel.<ref name="gamotek.fr"/>

In 1985, INTV Corporation introduced the ''INTV System III'', also branded as the ''Intellivision Super Pro System'', using the same design as the original Intellivision model but in black and silver. That same year INTV Corp introduced two new games that were completed at Mattel but not released: ''[[Thunder Castle]]'' and ''World Championship Baseball''. With their early success INTV Corp decided to produce new games and in 1986 introduced ''Super Pro Football'', an update of Mattel ''NFL Football''. INTV Corp continued a relationship that Mattel had with [[Data East]] and produced all new cartridges such as [[Commando (video game)|''Commando'']] in 1987 and ''Body Slam Wrestling'' in 1988. Also in 1987, INTV Corp released ''[[Dig Dug]]'', purchased from [[Atari]] where the game was completed but not released in 1984. They also got into producing next-generation games with the production of ''[[Monster Truck Rally (video game)|Monster Truck Rally]]'' for [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] (NES) in 1991, also released as ''Stadium Mud Buggies'' for Intellivision in 1989.<ref name = INTV/>

Licensing agreements with Nintendo and Sega required INTV Corporation to discontinue the Intellivision in 1990. INTV Corporation did publish 21 new Intellivision cartridges bringing the Intellivision library to a total of 124 cartridges plus one compilation cartridge.
