It seriously is a great looking console. Had I chosen the white one though I would be tempted, whenever I pulled out the controllers, to rub them together while yelling, "CLEAR!"

Could be a new game: Resuscitation          @MrBeefy can handle the artwork 🤣

I tend to tell my girlfriend way too many things about games in Japan. 

Let's just say she watches the mailbox closely for anything from overseas. 

Hahahaha

LMAO someone else can pick up the slack on this one! 

@OEB_Pete

Great videos.  They keep me entertained and excited for the Amico. 

You mentioned we could just listen and then said a negative about your own looks.

I'm the opposite.   I dont like to watch your videos too closely because I get hypnotized by your eyes.

They are piercing and bright.  I worry you might just see into my soul or something. 

Keep up the great work.

And no more disparaging your looks.

🙂

Could you imagine little kids resuscitating each other on the couch, while grandpa is having painful flashbacks watching from the recliner.

Don't worry, we are the same age. We used to call those games shooters. But that name got stolen.

And Yes! to Shmups!

Those bullet hell ones are so popular now though.   It's like they think they cant sell a shumup without being brutally hard and have 8 million bullets on the screen at once.

Cant we just have some old fashioned shumups?

🤨

Wait if one is a defibrillator and the other is a foot bath......

We are going to have a lot of shocking developments when this thing launches!!!😉

I miss games like zaxxon, sinistar (I hunger) life force, and star soldier.

Gun Nac...

After all this time I just realized that the Glacier White console looks like Tron Classic... The Graphite Black console looks like Tron Legacy...  Better late than never! Can't wait to pre-order!

Yeah.  I wish we could just get all the ones from turbografx 16, genesis  and super Nintendo...all retro reimagined...

Would love to see SiniStar or Zaxxon!!!!

Is demons to diamonds coming to amico?

@Ramey butler

Tommy needs to hire you as his shumup advisor.

A lot of those are compromised arcade ports and the SFC/SNES shooters in particular were crippled by the system's slow CPU, so I'd much rather have the original arcade versions.

man sinistar used to scare the crud outta me when it said "I Hunger!". I owned a sega master system it was my third system. My master system had the 3d glasses, i owned zaxxon3d, and space harrier 3d i played the heck out of those games!

Gunlord x is an e10+ rating.....

Interesting.....

Yes, there are good ports (PC Engine Salamander is amazing), but the original arcade versions are much better in every way. The ones that were developed specifically for the consoles generally have better performance. Except R-Type 3. That thing still is slow as hell. Still, Gaiares, Thunder Force 3 and 4 (2 is a port from X68000), Eliminate Down, Gleylancer, Herzog Zwei (which really isn't a shooter but I would love to see it on Amico), and other console original shooters generally have great performance and are also excellent games.

Can't take the wait any longer.. Going to start playing this:

Vrooom

What if the Amico can double as a backpack. 

Like the proton packs in Ghostbusters
