23!

 

The amount of games shown in the trailer tomorrow.

 

JUST got in a super amazing SURPRISE that folks here are gonna FREAK over!!

Didn't think it was going to be ready in time... but the developer kicked ass for us to get it in for tomorrow.

 

Editing it in now! 

 

 

 

Will you tell us tomorrow after the trailer which one it was ! ?

Will it be 3 minutes 5 seconds or one game will have to let some space for this 23rd game ( Have to fit with music length ! 😊 )

Thank you very much for everything you do for us !

We've been talking about it.  Just need to make sure we can deliver what we promise.

 

 

I would like to have 8 controllers but are there any games that will have 8 player coop or versus ?

Gotta say, and this from a hardcore gamer and collector...the cornhole sceeen shot blew me away! Best of all you have shown. Colors and graphics are bright, vibrant very distinct. Funfactor looks to be through the roof as these motion type games are what my family loves! Super stoked and really looking forward to that trailer tomorrow Tommy! Kudos to you my man!

skins are pretty easy to make and use with these days, could open up all sorts of possibilities.

Had to shorten Moon Patrol a bit.  It's okay... still 4 levels.

Yep.  I'll tell you which one tomorrow. 

Hint:  first 3 letters are AD&D.

Thanks!!!  Haters continue to complain that these are a mobile games... yet each game we do is very stylized and proves that you don't need a super human graphics chip in order to entertain people.

Guess where I’m older now I don’t need bleeding edge graphics and frames per second. Those games have their place and I’m not knocking them, just long for simple fun games my family and I can enjoy...ahhh the wait for my FE will probably significantly intensify after this gameplay trailer drops tomorrow 😅

I’m so tired of the mobile game comparison. People just don’t get it, but hopefully they will when they play theses games. There are so many details that differentiate Amico games from mobile games. I lost my temper and commented on a YouTube video when I heard this comparison one to many times !!! Lol 

Anyway keep up The good work and never let the passion die. This is the secret ingredient that can not be copied !!! I feel so involved in this project and am super thankful as a 53 year old that grew up Owning almost every system out there. I never thought I would ever be this excited again for a new system !! I feel Like a kid again ! 
 

Thank you Tommy 😀

I still wonder why people say otherwise when the NES mini insta-sold out, although that's probably due to nostalgia.

I'd rather have simple graphics and a good game than a shiny game that's broken. Maybe that's why my desk is literally covered in 80s/90s game consoles. And a Switch, 3DS, and Vita TV, but those are exceptions, of course. Don't worry, I didn't forget about the Intellivision being from 79, but it is way too big to fit on my desk, especially with the Intellivoice, and I don't have a way to connect it to my monitor anyway, so it goes on top of the CRT for now.

Oh my! I was not expecting that. 

Man, I can't wait to see this video!  I do know that the music on it is really kick-ass though! More than once in the last couple of weeks I've been drawn out of my lair to find out where the really sweet music is coming from, only to catch the last 30 seconds of the video.  (The INTV office has a pretty decent sound system in the back warehouse area!)

Will this new trailer be revealing the titles of any of the games or will the titles be revealed later?

"Adding and Subtracting Challenge"??  I mean, it might be a fun game, but is it really mic drop worthy?  I can't wait to see the video when it's posted.
