In 1987 my parents bought me the Atari 2600 Jr. (Remember the commercial: "The fun is back!...Under fifty bucks?!") They made that move because it was cheaper than a NES, but soon realized the limitations, as they inevitably bought a NES within a year. The Amico has serious limitations without the cheaper price point, so...What's the point?

I would say this targets people ( mainly clueless parents who blame everything but their bad parenting) who just want to leave their kids alone and not pay attention to them, or people who think ( and don't look) local coop games are dead. Upon thinking about this the funny thing now is couch coop with friends is not really something to be done with " Social Distancing" needed to be implemented lol. I would give the Amico a pass if it was a simple plug and play between $60 - $80 with 10 - 20 games built in. The games we have seen so far look like cheap mobile games, and Tommy refuses to show any actual marketing and keeps stating the actual show will come later. It's sad we know more about the PS5 and Xbox series when he announced the Amico way before Sony and Microsoft. Tommy I guess has never heard the saying " let the product speak for itself". I saw an article recently that talked about the battery pack for Xbox, and the comments were arguing about PS vs Xb controllers. That is already more marketing and being talked about then the Amico lol.

I'm in my early 40s, grew up playing Intellivision and I loved it. I have been all for the Amico since it started, but when it started I thought it was going to be more of a faithful kinda "Intellivision Mini" as it were, and play the classic games plus new versions of those classic games. I'm still all for that, but I don't really care about this other stuff, and certainly don't care for an increasing price point. That's coming from someone who would be most interested this system. All I really want is a reliable, affordable console that will play the classic Intellivision games on modern TVs, with wireless controllers. I thought the idea of the controller was great and really worked for that since you'd no longer need overlays, and I still think that. Its just now they're trying to sell it as something else, and I don't like that.

It's so weird to hear Amico white knights scream "IT'S NOTHING LIKE THE OUYA!" yet they are more alike than they are different. The Ouya controller also had a touch pad and was used as a quick way for Android apps to be ported that heavily relied on a touchscreen interface. And this is also an Android-based platform, it's just locked down like Amazon Fire TV or the Ouya (which also had a "carefully curated" store). Both allowed for relatively easy side-loading. Given the only unique feature is the E10 or below requirement for all titles, I honestly think their only market is some place like Hobby Lobby or wherever they used to sell those "Clear Play" DVD players that would proactively edit out all the "naughty bits" from movies or spit out the disc if the player didn't recognize the movie from its online database. They may get a few parents who don't trust the technology of the big three consoles (or Apple TV or Amazon TV or Android TV) or inexplicably can't follow the startup tutorial which forces new owners to select the content filter settings (at least that's the case on the Xbox, I don't remember the PS4) before you can play your first game.

Intellivision Amico 64.

Real parenting experience here: My son wanted a Switch starting several years ago. I was apprehensive about giving a young boy such an expensive piece of hardware to walk around with. I brought retro games into the house, noting that many of the switch games were replicated in my N64 collection. He had access to an OG Xbox at one point. I bought him a Nintendo 2DS because I got it super cheap, and although that was closer to a switch than anything else I’d gotten for him, he still wanted the Nintendo Switch. Branding is important to kids. I think it’s dumb but his peers didn’t understand why we would want stuff like the N64 with it’s bad graphics. The analysis of parents just buying the Switch instead of the Amico is absolutely the most likely outcome. The Amico kids would be likely to cry.

You know what's the sad thing? If these *Titans of Industry* used their ip's honestly and upfront, just putting a custom retro case on an existing Android box and saying "This is an Android box with some aftermarket control pads, but it looks nice and very useful for you to play roms and free games as well as smarten up your TV," they would probably sell very well and have good support from consumers. Are you really telling me that Target or Walmart wouldn't have a glossy Atari tv box all over their store ads?

Interesting stuff here I already saw the video Tipster made on the subject and am very glad you uploaded this Pat! I understand some people may be salty that you did but I'm thankfull I don't think this system will get very far in this day and age at all Shame though how much effort they are putting in this ;) I think it's interesting how Tipster went all out at you guys, but seemed to only go at you for a small portion of this whilst not hearing the rest of the segment.

I'm like Santa brought the wrong one i wanted the super nes. mommy said i think that's all Santa could find or something like that that's been like 28 years ago. i was disappointed cause i wouldn't be able to bring new games over or borrow my friends.sadly i didn't keep the boxes x.x but found a nice one on eBay recently and paid $25 for it. i gave it a little bit of time and i would find nes games at garage sales. i even found rob at a garage sale. i don't think it was complete and was a stand alone one. sadly over the years pieces became missing. but to this day i thank my momma for buying that nes for me for starting my video game journey. i still have that nes. hugs and love :D

I don't always agree with you on stuff...whether it be the Diablo thing or so forth in the past. But I gotta admit, you guys have made sense & a lot of good points on this whole Intellivision/Amico thing. It does seem like some of the pre-orders have sold well (the founders edition or whatever the hell it was called), so I do think there is a market for this. But it's a niche market of collectors. Folks who want to add this to their big collection of systems, have fun for a month or two for novelty and then after 1 or 2 months it gets buried under the rubble until the 'next new gimmick' arrives. And you're right...moms and kids are not going to give much of a shit about this when they have Steam on the internet to play games on let alone PS5/PS4/X-Box/etc.

FFXIV on PS4 uses the touchpad as a mouse which is necessary for some things such as custom ui/hud layouts/etc. but that's the only thing I know of that uses it in a significant manner.

I browsed Tommy's videogame credits and the last title he worked on (before the Amico) was a Wii title ten years ago. Maybe that's why in his world he thinks the touch screen on console controller is "new" and "innovative" since he didn't work on the Wii-U or beyond.

I'm 39 and I had a Sega Master System as my only ever console growing up. I did play some games on my Mac 2 computer as well (Shadowgate, Beyond Dark Castle, etc). All my friends has NES, SNES, and a few had Genesis. I never heard what Intellivision was until I was in my late 20's and someone 10 years older than me mentioned that she had one as a kid.

My advice to Tommy Tallarico would be the same advice Obama gave to Joe Biden "You don't have to do this Joe"

You need a 64 direction high precision d-pad and a touch screen to play mobile games?

All of those people who hated on you guys for your criticism back when this scam was first announce owe you guys a sincere apology.

It could have been a hit for casuals if he made it as a dedicated console sold with 4 adjustable disc attachments for mobile phones, that way he could have kept the price somewhere at 120 dollars, and could also sell a party edition with 8 attachments for around 180, but even then...

9:09 In Tearaway you could draw stuff using the touch-pad, but that's the only example I know of. You were better of drawing stuff using the app anyways. Every other game used the touch-pad as a select button.

I know this is so after the fact, but warframe mapped it's special ability buttons to gestures on the ps4 controller so you swipe a direction and get that move. It was pretty intuitive and nice to play with, but I can't say it's any better then holding a shoulder button to pull up a menu.

I hear it uses this newfangled electricity, too!

“Dropped” - Nice Beastie Boys reference

At this point Ian clearly has had enough of Tommy and the amico

Uh oh. Someone is going to get a DM. Don't think it's going to be friendly Pat...

“If he’s lying about that, what else is he lying about??” OOF

It happened again ! Ian was censored cos he said Fuck it! ? What is it Disney Channel?

I have 4 and 9 year old and every console and a gaming PC. Kids play simple mobile touch games when they are little. Then its Nintendo or a roblox type game. My kids give zero fucks about retro games. My millennial wife and her friends don't play console video games. Ever.

There's a lot of latency with touch controls. If they actually managed to keep that latency low, it *is* something to be proud of.

I saw that RTA had done an interview with Tommy... had a feeling it would be shilling. I mean, he wouldnt have done the interview if Rich was going to go hard on him, thats just awful PR.

Clean shaven Ian is ready to rumble, that hippy beard was holding him back.

The touch pad on the PS4 controller is basically a big shiny Select button. You access maps, make a quick waypoint or save, etc. Maybe at the most it might be a button for a quicktime event.

@@danielwilliams7161 It genuinely threw me off a bit when I played like God of War 3 or Saints Row 4 and suddenly I gotta be ready to rub my finger on the pad and then press triangle or something. Like, what?

A couple thousand dudes in their mid 40s - 50s might be excited about this and that’s it.

I'll even admit I was born in 91 during 16-bit era, I've was never around for Atari, Intellivision, or stuff that came out in 80s.

This is an OUYA with a "recognizable" brand.

Except the Ouya was $150 cheaper at launch, which wasn't completely insane at the time.

During the recent Direct mini, Nintendo revealed a 51 games in one game which has several of the titles Tommy Tallerico was complaining weren't on other systems, but would be on Amico... and ALL of them look way better than even the best looking Intellivision games!

Dude, my kid only knows Mario and Sonic cause I only let him play with the mini consoles. He’s 4. We had a classmate over for a play date, same age. He didn’t get it. He wanted to play PlayStation or Switch. I had to tell him no cause I don’t want my kid into modern gaming just yet but you guys were so right. What a disaster. Tommy might be successful but he doesn’t know what living regular life is.

I think Rich has taken a different stance since that infomercial with Tommy but Ian, you go! Ian has probably never been to East Oakland but you sometimes go hard and speak my language, homie! Keep it gangster!

Tommy was selling a product no one wanted

Love the vid Pat. Keep holding these 'companies' in check.

An old school telephone pad controller would make more sense. At least that would be nostalgic to the old people that might remember the Intellevision name.

Even as a kid, socks for Christmas would be preferable to this. When this thing was announced I made a comment on a Facebook gaming group stating my opinion that it will tank, and I got a few responses that didn't appreciate what I said. But even if Tommy is well-intentioned, and even if this was a good idea on paper, this is never going to find success. Kids grow up playing better looking and more complex games on their PS4 and Xbox One. Fortnite is a much more complex game, yet the kiddies love it. I don't see why people think simple and cartoony = kid-friendly. Kids will play whatever is popular, be it complex or simple. Kid-friendly or not. And tacking on a license that even the parents of young children don't know and never grew up with is stupid.

It’s a pointless product

Ian ranting is the best of the whole Podcast, period !

Is Pat the NES punk going to do a review on the Amico? I think Pat and Ian should do a interview with Tommy Tallarico. That would be hilarious

Having been born in 1990 and thus never grew up with the nostalgia of the brand, is it bad that the original Mattel Intellivision and its games has *much* more interest to me as a gamer than the Amico does? Hell, even the games themselves appeal to me more despite how obscure and old they are compared to like every other system that came out since then. I'd love an intellivision, but all this Amico talk between everyone on youtube is only making me want to try the original instead, not the new one. Funny, that.

The Amico games looks worse than the 2008-2009 Wii shovelware.

I think Amico as a concept is neat and it’d be nice to succeed to have another player in the market but the behind the scenes videos of them in their offices taping on a cell phone cam aren’t doing them favors, everything is so clean when presented these days it just makes them look bad, I’m guessing limited marketing dollars though n they’re not spending until right before launch. Early on Amico sounded cool but the past two videos they’ve released have me starting to worry. I think it still has a shot if they get their shit together a few months before launch date but currently it’s feeling dicey

And this is why I stopped watching his content. Even before he came after you guys with the piss-poor framing of, "You're calling out all gamers!" he would take something that a few people mention on a forum, blow it up into a 550k viewed video, and then act it was something big that "the left" was talking about. Complete garbage. -Matt

The only potential market for this thing is GenX nostalgia nerd enthusiasts. But this doesn’t call back enough to the original for that.

9:07 Tearaway Unfolded begs to differ
