Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

I would be shocked if we don't see the user interface. Not sure we will see the online shop. Seeing one or two physical games would be cool to see. Not sure about those either. Hopefully, we see a brand new IP.

A good idea, but it would make it an even better idea if you had your flashback made into an ultimate flashback HERE.  I have two flashbacks, one original and one ultimate.  The ultimate is HDMI so the picture and emulation are even better.  Not only that, but you can add games to it so it's expandable.  You can't get much better than that! 🤯

Looks pretty cool, I'll check it out. Thanks.

I'm guessing a Tron game might be announced. However, if the release date somehow sticks at 10.10.2020, I don't think anything will top that.

I’m so excited to have more information on the system I almost don’t care what we find out.  I honestly thought my days of gaming on anything other than an original Intellivision or emulation were over after PS3 I bought my ps3 used from a friend and I don’t think I bought 10 total games for it and I didn’t play it that often because games took too long to figure out and I’d get bored.  The came the email from Intellivision back I think in May 2018 that they would be making a new system and once the first interview with Tommy was released I’ve been following every since I’ve really enjoyed being on this ride and can’t wait to continue it tomorrow

I'll have 2 Amico's so therefore I'll have 4 controllers which unfortunately should suffice in these covid times. I wanted to have a minimum of four controllers so it's like I am getting my second Amico for only $150. That should make Tommy happy - he met his original price point on one of my Amico's. 

I did that as well.

My dad(RIP) was a elementary school teacher for 37 years, this video was so well done and reminded me so much of the impact good teachers can make on people and struffies.  Rich deserves every ones support, so please go and sub to his channel.  This is what YouTube needs more people like Rich!

Wonder if the gto red console will have a different pack in game like the racing game.

That would be cool.  What if each color console had 1 built-in game that was exclusive to it?

Gotta have 2. One for the man cave for solo play and one for the family room for family play. 

FYI, I have a son in law with an Xbox and Switch who has shown very little interest in the Amico as he mentioned all the previous failed retro systems.  I am sure he will change his tune once it's out. As a matter of fact, I have ordered 2 extra VIP's just in case I have family or friends scrambling to get their hands on one as I am sure they are going to be in short supply.

Yea I know the controllers will probably be in short supply. Bought my brother a FE, it will be hard to NOT wanna open his and use those controllers before I give it to him 😂

Getting excited for tomorrow!

Whenever there is a countdown, I always hear the Terminator intro

It would be neat if there was an alarm clock in the shape of the Amico console but smaller.  The time would be displayed on the front of the console.  There can be different musical tunes/sound effects based on Intellivision games.  Also, there can be a special setting where the alarm goes off saying; Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.  Or Wouldn't that be something?  Lol.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but how much would extra controllers cost? Any rough guesses?

Here's a couple of "countdown songs" I wanna share with you guys:

1) The first one is not very well known but it's amazing: Toto - Big Battle (Dune OST). No wonder Faith No More played a recording of the song before appearing on stage on several concerts in 1992.

2) The second one is much more famous, but it always works: Jerry Goldsmith - End Credits (Total Recall OST). This song got very popular in Spain when one channel decided to use it before soccer matches as the intro song, while they showed panoramic shots of the stadium.

If Tommy uses one of these songs with a pitch black screen before starting the event, it won't matter if he only shows a fishing game and a train simulator: the hype will be in our minds for years.

I heard they might be $50.

This would be a really cool song to have for the Amico event.  The intro of this song is so epic in my opinion.  Have this playing as Tommy walks out on stage to reveal the Amico console.

Don't they sell Auto insurance?

I don't know.  But, did you know there's an insurance company called Amica?  It's very close to Amico except for the last letter.  Lol.

I know I mentioned this once before a long time ago.  But I think it would be awesome if we got a glow in the dark Amico console with glow in the dark controllers.  Or maybe transparent colors like on the N64.  If Tommy decided not to do this for Amico, then perhaps for when he brings us the Vectrex.  One can only hope.

Okay, yeah I remember this commercial.  Thanks for sharing.  I forgot it was used to sell insurance.
