But thanks for bringing that up and proving my point. Lets do the math... Lets say you and your buddies wanted to play 4 player Bomberman. PS4 - $300 (could can find deals and smaller harddrives so using this number and including tax). 3 more controllers at $60 each (again... lets include tax as you can find them for less or 3rd parties) = $180 And the game at $10. So, in order to play Bomberman on the PS4 the way it's meant... you're spending $500. But wait... what about the "Family Friendly" Nintendo Switch version? Well, if you look at the game you'll find out that in order to play it 4 players you'll need 2 Switches. Hmmm... now we're getting into the $600 range. But on the Switch you CAN play up to 8 players! Cool! Fun party game for sure! Unfortunately you'd then need 4 Switches with people sharing screens and now you've entered the $1,200 range. All you so can play Bomberman. Or you can play with 8 players on Amico for 20% of that price or half of the PS4. BIG difference between $250 & $500/$600 when you're talking about middle America. But lets talk about the GAME for a second. You've been going on and on and on about how poor our graphics are and how our presentation needs major improvement. Yet you post about this great Bomberman game on the PS4 that looks like THIS! Sorry... art is subjective I know... but in my opinion ours looks a little better than the PS4, XBox & Switch versions. And that's saying a LOT considering we're not even in the same league as they are power or graphic-wise. One more comment about the above screen shots... I don't know... it kinda looks like a mobile game to me. And in regards to presentation.... I personally HATE the type of over the top anime style presentation and "story" mode they offer. Anyone else look at this trailer and want to barf? It's like nails on a chalkboard for me. Anyway... just wanted to point out my personal thoughts and opinions on that link you posted. Different strokes for different folks. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many people have an Amico currently? 😝 I don't see why I have to buy the controller when I can tell my friends and family to bring theirs? Do people not do that? Then when it comes to price I really haven't spent anymore. But maybe I think outside the box more than others. Don't know. 🤷♀️ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless of course you're talking about Amico with 6 free pack-in games and the ability to play 8 players out of the box. Sure, assuming six of those players bring their smartphones and the owner of the console has an active Internet connection and is willing to spend $249 or more on a new console. I mean this doesn't exactly seem like a particularly friendly model for people who are not traditional console gamers. I really hope you consider having an option not to connect to the Internet at all and to sell truly physical games that don't require any Internet activation or downloads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
