Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

thats what Im hoping, Im hoping it hits land and loses steam and gets torn apart.  I really dont need a power outage or flooding. 2020 is a shitshow already without another kick to the jewels.

Yes I agree.  This year has been nuts.  We need a reset.  Here's hoping that 2021 will be better.

I wanted to make one more prediction:

Tommy will start the show dressed this way.

To signify a few different things. First Tron... And then the family friendly Big Lebowski Bowling game. You use the 2nd controller to hold steady and keep your "milk" from spilling. Extra points for that. Or  The Tron Lebowski, the bowling adventure! No other System could handle such a game.  Can you imagine the background music from those games?

Can I have a bingo !?

We will know soon enough !

Thank you GrudgeQ for your 16 images !

For the Lebowski game, you could choose your character. If you pick Jesus, you have to polish your ball before throwing.

These are my guesses (7 of 16):

• Amico boot up
• Physical media
• Release date: Q1 2021
• Amico fan and rewards club announced
• Sesame Street license announced
• More Moon Patrol on Amico Club app
• Hasbro licence announced

What are your guesses?

I like your list but for me - take out Physical Media and throw in a sneak peak of Earthwork Jim. I think they are going to hold the physical media until closer to retail. Can’t wait until tomorrow because I bet a few more surprises are in store outside of Pete’s list.

Only 14 hours away!

I wonder, if the Amico has been delayed, how that affected the video they are making. Like the physical games...not sure they show it tomorrow if the Amico is being delayed until next year.

I am thinking physical media, packaging, mascot and maybe even a few games or licensing deals if they weren’t scheduled for a fall release anyway. I think they will save a little punch for the actual launch date.
 

One future thing to look forward to next year is maybe a limited edition EWJ console to launch in conjunction the game’s release. Definitely a 2021 thing if it does occur.

Hadn't thought of an Earthworm Jim themed Amico. That would be wonderful.

Not for my wallet, yet another Amico must-have 😭🤣

I’m predicting that due to missing the 10/10/20 ship date, Tommy will go big and not just give us another pack-in game, but a pack-in console... complete Vectrex emulation included on the Amico at launch. Just another way Intellivision is different from the other “stuck-in-their-ways” console makers.

Of course, I’ve been wrong before, so if you’re putting money on this prediction, please... gamble responsibly. 

Truth be told, I have no expectations for tomorrow... I just want to enjoy whatever is presented without any feelings of “wish they had done/announced/showed ______” after the event.

Ouch - it isn’t too early for the US and not terribly late for Europe but of course you guys are just on the wrong side of the world for this timing

I’ll trade ya.  10:00 is smack in the middle of my work day, with no opportunity to break away (going to be a busy day).  Will have to wait till after 4:00. Those 6 hours are going to suck.

If you are telling me to self isolate, and (heres the important part) you are a dr., I could swing that 🤕

I'm guessing we'll also get a closer look at the hardware (console and controllers), the leaderboard, and find out the 6th pack-in game title (with gameplay video). All speculation. It'll be fun to see how close everyone's predictions are in 12 hours.

Sometimes you have to get a little creative. Just tell your boss you bent your cock while bangin’ some bird in the shower

 I am a high score fanatic and would love to see how the leaderboards will look !
