Really fantastic video!  Love this one!  Nice production quality as well.  I like his new intro.  Very cool.

 

Folks should definitely subscribe as he does a lot of Amico content... and with an east coast Italian attitude.   Hahaha!

Also great to see yet another person who was skeptical at first, but once he found out more information (and/or... got PROPER and REAL information as opposed to the ridiculous rumors certain folks tend to put out) that he better understood what Amico is all about.  He is now really excited about Amico and can't wait to play with his 2 young daughters and non-gaming wife.

None of the pack-in games particularly interest me either. I know it might not be possible, but I would have preferred some type of tiered system where you could pick, say, 3 games from these six games, 2 games from these five games, and 1 game from these five games.

Good news...  For the price of 1 PS game, you can do exactly that!

YES! I'd love to see a re-imagined Konami Track & Field and the sequel Hyper Sports. These games were always SUPER FUN to play with a group of friends.

 

The more the merrier! :cool::);):grin::lolblue::-o:P:rolling:

 

 

However, the Amico controller better be up to the challenge because those buttons will be taking a REAL POUNDING!

 

Perhaps the touch-screen could be used as a secondary option for controlling the speed.

I really love this idea! Makes it a fun little endurance marathon, kind of like a Mario Party minigame where you had to mash the buttons or spin the control stick. Hopefully they have something like that planned for Super Pro Decathalon!

 

ALSO, that leads me to my next question for Tommy, is there any kind of plan for fitness/wellness titles on Amico a la Wii Fit, Ring Fit Adventure, etc? Used to quite enjoy Wii Fit and I like the idea of building a casual wellness routine with a video game, but I can't justify the Switch's pricetag plus Ring Fit's additional $80.

There is a small chance of a skiff of snow in Dallas today - so my Amico mug is basically a life saving device at this point. Stay safe out there folks! 🤪

But the real trick is to make them think it's their idea, even when its not.

 

If I had the option, I may end up choosing one or two of the pack-in games anyway, but I would feel better about having them if I thought it was my idea.

You're welcome.  By the way, flip the number and you're 45 again.

Yes!  We have 2 really unique things we have started working on.  One is hardware/accessory based and the other "game/activity" utilizes 2 controllers at once.   The game will probably be out first and probably by the end of 2022 at the latest.  The hardware add-on is currently scheduled for 2023, but still a long way to go.

The Ring Fit was cool for about 20 minutes, but personally... me & my wife got bored quick and never picked it up again after the first time we played it.  In the long run (unless they start coming out with more games for it) it doesn't seem like it was worth the purchase for us (others may feel differently), but gotta commend Nintendo for always trying to do something different and unique!

This is super exciting! Love that Intellivision is doing accessories and picking up the ball on innovation. I'm so happy I preordered, Intellivision really looks to be bringing back everything I love about video games.

 

And ok that essentially confirms my fear with Ring Fit, but agreed about Nintendo always trying new stuff!

 

Thanks Tommy!
