I mean initially it sounded as if it had promised, but Tommy running his mouth just showed how disconnected he was from the modern gaming scene. I respected that Tommy would show up in the comment sections of his "critics" ( he even responded to one of my comments once) and appeared professional ( at least on the surface). Listening to the early days of his Pitch i feel Ian doesn't have to apologize comparing the Amico to Nintendo seeing as Tommy was extremely fixated on the Wii. Tommy kept proclaiming he wanted the Amico to have Wii success, but I feel he truly missed the mark on what made the Wii successful. He saw part of it, but his vision was an extremely watered down version of why the Wii succeeded. Also I still can't forget that female Journalist who broke down crying about playing games with her mom again, and me just questioning "why can't you just show her how to use a controller on a simple game?"

The best selling games on the Intellivision were _Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack_ and _Major League Baseball._ Those are disposable games. You can literally replace them with a deck of cards and literally any future baseball game. Okay, bur there were unique games on the Intellivision, but I barely know what Cloudy Mountain is even after seeing people pine for it. I've even seen a TAS for it.

I hope they continue with a Switch Pro with full backward compatibility. Right now, the Switch still commands a large part of the console market, which does buy them time for things to align. As a portable hybrid, we figure, it has to do with a balance between low cost, high reliability, good battery life, light weight, and small enough size. All leading to overall usability and use cases. Unfortunately, the moving tech to support all of that moves slower than large form consoles/PCs. Hopefully, the chip stuff will improve fast enough, even though that also means any direct competitor, of form, is also slowed down and still needs to sell a ton of units to catch up. I actually saw this kind of timing happen, a number of times, with previous Nintendo portables. Usually, some stuff with more powerful hardware comes up, but by the time they halfway approach the portable market share, Nintendo drops the next system.

The original Intellivision was great because it’s sports games like NFL Football, MLB Baseball, Soccer and NHL Hockey. Those games made the console. It’s games were more advance than others at the time. B17 Bomber was a great combat game for its time. The Intellivision sports games were long ago surpassed.

Bold of you to say that Shark Shark doesn’t have the playability of Zelda! Lol At l ast 10 min of gameplay!!

This whole thing is just tommy regurgitating buzz words and just saying stuff (or not saying stuff) to try and make his critics look bad. It's why the Amico went from a reasonable, if a bit of an out of touch, idea to this wonder box that could do anything and everything. It would be E-sports, NFT's, simple, complex, kid friendly yet appeal to the whole family, nostalgia bait while not being nostalgia bait and god knows what other insane shit he said over the years. I kind of get why this weird little cult popped up. Whatever you thought the Amico was Tommy probably had some quote to validate that opinion.

I actually laughed when Tommy did the "Imagine playing games with your mom again...." line trying to make people cry. My response would be "My mom didnt want to play video games in 1980, why the hell would she want to do it now?" Crap like that makes me laugh b/c no matter who he would have tried to use that with none of the adults in my family (My mom's side or my Dad's) played video games. and honestly I hate Spider-man now b/c of Tommy's love for it.
