DPCyric Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Is anyone here interested in this console? I recently read this article: Intellivision shows off Amico’s hardware design, with a Qualcomm processor VENTUREBEAT.COM Intellivision showed off the hardware design of its Amico retro game console, complete with a new Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. And there is this smexy special edition at GameStop: http://www.gamestop.com//on/demandware.static/Sites-gamestop-us-Site/-/default/dw1a76718d/images/favicons/favicon-128.png Intellivision Amico Galaxy Purple Limited Edition Only at GameStop | Intellivision Amico | GameStop WWW.GAMESTOP.COM Buy Intellivision Amico Galaxy Purple Limited Edition Only at GameStop by Intellivision for Intellivision Amico at GameStop.

Remarkableriots Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If it was half that price i would be interested but $299 is way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's $250 comes with two controllers (the special edition is more expensive), 6 games, games are targeting the $3-$10 price point and if you pre-order on fig-co you get a $25 voucher for games I believe. That seems like a lot for the price considering all the tech in the controllers. As for the Atari VCS I find it interesting because you can install other OS's but it's got a worse price proposition being the same price as the digital PS5.

I've been following the development of this sucker from the start. I grew up with the Intellivision. Still have mine, actually. Have very found memories of of it so I'm definitely interested, but do you know who's really interested? Believe it or not, my 75 yr old mother! Yes, she played the crap out of several of the games on that system. She was an Astrosmash fiend and loved the game Lock n Chase, and as both of those games are going to be on the new system, she actually told me she wants one. I think it's hilarious as I highly doubt she'll be able to play the games like she used to but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 It's dead on arrival at the price they're asking. They should have stuck to keeping it a budget console, but then they got obsessed with adding more and more to those controllers. Tommy Tallarico isn't doing the Amico any favors either. He goes off on wild tirades anytime he discovers somebody speaking negative of his console. Comically, many of the defenders of the console on YouTube seem to defend it while wearing Amico clothing, but they're not bias guys, they promise.

I'm just digging this system design and I like 2D gaming a lot. Edit: @vaxick there is a glut of budget consoles now if it wasn't for the fancy controllers this wouldn't stand out from the crowd.

There is a handful of games that I am interested in and I'm sure there will be a mod scene around those controllers (I want to use them on PC).
