Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

5 minutes ago, Swami said:

Regarding why Ian got so mad, all I can see from the history of this feud is that another big name among the video game influencers has sided with Amico, which makes it harder and harder to call them shills. So he yells it loud and crazy-like. Double-down Ian, double-down. 

Who?

but yeah, the more I watched of that the more I was convinced something is seriously wrong with Ian. I can't imagine being that hateful and cynical about Tommy talking about a damn touch screen on a controller. He went on and on, both of them did, for like 10 minutes about using a touch screen. We get it. Who the hell gets that FURIOUS over a touch screen? Something isn't right with them.

Oh - let's not forget, the SINGLE game they conceded would be great - Utopia, with the touch screen. But then they went "B-but the Touch Screen is too small!" 

All I can say is Ian needs to redact some of his statements, but especially the statements about Review Tech USA. 

You can call me a shill or someone who is too positive, or whatever, I don't care. The way Ian was acting was nuts and anyone should be able to see how far off the deep end he went.

If there is anything to be upset about , it’s the Atari VCS. They took people’s money and have offered nothing. With Amico, we know what we are getting. Buy it or don’t. Are Pat and Ian even upset about this VCS situation  ? I don’t follow them so I don’t know.

Given enough time (and enough rope), this will resolve itself.

They have been feuding with Rich for a few years now since some comments they made about Diablo in one of their podcasts. It goes much deeper than the Amico

Yes they make fun of the VCS.

What are their followers saying? Is there anyone downing them or are their “following” numbers falling?

love to hear about that.

I wouldn't know, I don't follow their numbers but their fanbase is usually on par with their way of thinking.

Same with JT Smash. Pretty much everyone got on P&Is bad side when they called everyone who didn’t like Diablo whatever it was babies. So all these youtubers just hold onto these grudges forever ♾ guess.

With that much anger ? Because so far they gave only Atari 2600 vault coming that I know of and the console is more expensive than Amico. With Amico it’s personal at this point. It would not be possible for an unbiased review from them at this point.

Yo! 

 

Starting at noon today we will be announcing 1 new game every hour.  Complete with some short but new video clips not previously shown.

BTW... just added a pre-order info page to the website.  Includes the first images of the new renders in matte, etc.

https://www.intellivisionamico.com/amico-vip-pre-order-info

Will try to catch up on all the questions and posts (and drama) this weekend. 

Thanks!

 

Thanks Tommy!  Great game play trailers.

BTW, got the VIP pre order buy-in from the HFO (Home Finance Officer).  Now just got to get the merch PO approved 😋

Ahhh, thank you. 

Yeah I had a feeling. It's war now for them. 

I know a lot of people on AA don't really like the Amico or Tommy's way of promoting but PLEASE no one get upset to the point you're screaming and cussing over it. 

Next game unveil will be probably Corn Hole if Tommy want to keep the secret for the 5th one.

But for me, Auto Racing is a no brainer choice.

But Skiing is already some kind of racing game, right? Skiing, Shark Shark, Astrosmash and Cornhole are totally different types of games.

I see and can understand the anger issues better now . I just want to have fun and I like the Amico and will buy it ! Buy whatever you like and have fun whatever console it is. I like them

all 😄

on a related topic, I have no time to spend hating and prefer to spend my time talking  about my passions and hobbies As opposed to spending time on sites and newsgroups that I am not interested in. I don’t get why people do that.

No ! Don't think so , but could be a surprise.

I think they will sell very well anyway !

I'd prefer Night Stalker but it might not be the best choice.

Couldn’t be Moon Patrol not an Intellivision property and they don’t want to slit the profit from consoles with a license holder

I’m guessing Snafoo I know they are redoing the graphics but I had so much fun playing that game with my stepbrother and it’s so easy to pick up and play

Woot Canada!

My guess for #5 is the unknown recording game or a new IP.
