Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

Prior to the Video being released today, I wanted to put the question out there: Are there any plans on having a presence at this years e3? Whatever form it ends up taking.

I know it's not Amico related but had to share.

I happened to find this video, and it looks a lot of fun for Amico family demographic,
but it's not multi-player. I wonder though if some of the games could also move over?
I think it's the same target demographic, but lacking the multi-player modes of Amico.

I think reviews of Amico games by kids would be better than retro-gamers, sorry.
[removed a YouTube video re: LeapTV console]

I read similar criticisms, and some similar inspirations. (I almost want one, ha ha!)
I think it proves there is a market though for a better such education system now.

In the review, the reviewer talked about "badges" for achievements. I was actually
thinking, as he talked, of Finnegan Fox, and Tommy saying "Badger, Badger". Ha!

Hey, why were the video links removed from this post? Just curious.

No drama. I got told they were a problem (not by AtariAge).
I didn't know the other console had previously been discussed, and used by a troll as criticism.
I could not remove the whole post, so I deleted videos links which could cause a new argument.

When's the new video dropping?  1pm eastern?

Thanks Tommy.  Just noticed you can update your signature now to reflect intellivision.com instead of intellivisionentertainment.com

Hi Everyone!

As promised, here is our Amico Launch Update video.

Thank you all so much for your continued support, understanding and patience.

The team here is working tirelessly to bring you the best possible experience and product we can.

We really appreciate everyone for taking an interest in what we're doing.

Stay safe.

❤️

Thanks Tommy for the update.  I really wanted a summer release date if April wasn't possible.  Hopefully there are no more delays now.  October can't come soon enough.

10.10.2021...Tommy you're back on your significant date to your family!  Can't wait!  

Tommy,

With the new release date being 10/10/21, will the FE come out a week or so before then?

I wonder if I can turn off the fake NTSC scan lines. 

I'd like to leave some things back in the 80s aside from parachute pants, big hair and New Coke.

Now these DO need to make a comeback!

If only.  But wouldn't that be something?

When will the next video be to see some new game info ?

Also something new. Finn Fox was great, but AstroBreak were things we've already seen a lot of before.

10/10/21 works for me.. More polish.. Maybe a few more games at launch.(I can hope) 2nd and 3rd wave of games will be further along. (Hopefully) So we'll get a steady stream of new stuff to play.  As much as I want the system in my hands and playing it, we can live. I will admit that I am bummed about more waiting for information on Physical games. Packaging. And that 2nd wave after the initial 35 games. Looking forward to more info!!!!

EWJ4 anyone?

I think holiday releases are always more exciting.  I have plenty of games in my backlog to keep me busy until October.  Looking forward to a hot new game system around the holidays brings me back to my childhood, so I'm happy with the delay.  We should have a solid lineup of launch games and more time to work out the bugs.  I do wish we could get an update on physical media soon.  I feel like we have been waiting a bit too long for that information to come out.  No complaints though!
