Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

Not gonna lie, pretty bummed I have to wait another 24 hours.  I was looking forward to this and sat down to get ready only to hear this news...

Through my top secret un-named sources, I have discovered the name of the last minute game that cancelled the event!

Get ready for Amico World Tiddlywinks Championships: The Game!

You & me both.  And everyone else here.  It is sad but hopefully it's all worth the wait.

Aw man

I've got a meeting tomorrow that can't be moved.

I'm gonna be relying on you guys for a full post-presentation breakdown of all the cool news!

I'll admit my ignorance about these two people. I’ve never watched their videos, but see them mentioned from time to time here, usually in a negative light. And obviously Tommy has talked about them in video interviews when asked.

 

Beyond apparently not liking Tommy and/or Amico, do they have some industry pull or influence?

 

In other words, why does anyone care what they say or think?

 

And I’m asking that sincerely because I’m not tuned into the video gaming world. My interest in console gaming dropped quite a bit over the years and it’s only because of the Amico that I’m paying attention to console gaming on some level again. So all these personalities that apparently everyone knows are a bit of mystery to me in terms of how they fit into the industry.

 

I had the same questions, doing some research they just seem like a couple of guys who have their own video game podcast.  They have over 200k subscribers so their "influence" goes that far I guess.  I don't think they're involved in the video game industry at all except maybe Ian runs a video game store?

Hey... Who gave you that picture of me?!?!?!!??!?!?

Well that was a letdown, especially waiting till 3am to watch it. Bank on a console delay i think.

His face is too funny.  He looks like a deer in headlights.  Lol.

Yeah, I'm a bit irritated as I carved time out of my work day for today's announcement. Now I have to do the same for tomorrow. I hope this big news isn't that the "Beatles catalog of music is coming to iTunes".

I hope the delayed presentation doesn't include that the console ship date has also been delayed. That would be unfortunate.

I don’t see the update for the Amico Club App on IOS .......anyone got it yet ?

It is what it is, looking forward to it. nice to see confirmation on a lot more game reveals

Tommy seemed extra pumped up and happy. I think 10-10 is going to be a go!!!!

So is there some sort of  announcement today and if so where and when

I think it's Android for now.  IOS got delayed.

How long a delay ?

There was a small update video a few minutes ago.  

I don't understand what big announcement would put off an already rehearsed presentation just an hour before it was scheduled to go?  I get that they want to get the news in but that could have been done separately as a news release or a separate announcement / video.

I don't know.  Hopefully not too long.

I doubt it but considering they had graphics probably set up with new date that's the type of news that could def need a delay.  In saying that I would think it's some big time licensing for a game that just went through

Well we will find out tomorrow. 

@Tommy Tallarico:  ensure you point out exactly what news caused the delay
