Honestly, I thought it was damaging to his brand. Anywhere he did manage to get a reaction, it was largely negative. Apathy and negativity; two great signs when you launch A console. I'm flabbergasted he used half of the presentation to "remind" us of his own accolades. Progress has clearly slowed to a halt; the system and games seem no more ready than they were this time last year. There's little possibility of them hitting October (obviously, or they would have given their release date). The more time that goes by, the less likely it is that it ever sees the light of day.

@@NinjaKittyRetro Don't give Tommy ideas. The license would be cheap and Tommy (ever the crybully) would love a chance to whine about cancel culture as he signed up Bill.

My reactions to the Intellivision Presentation were "They showed absolutely nothing new, this presentation acts like the Amiico is a brand new thing that was just brought into existence versus something that was announced a couple years ago and has been delayed twice" and "I'm looking forward to what Pat and Ian have to say about this"

When someone mentioned all the thousands (so it's not just five haters with five alt accounts) of negative comments the stream was getting in real-time, Tommy said the stream wasn't "for them". When asked then why he bothered with E3 if it's not for people who would watch the E3 streams, he said "it's for developers and retailers". Well, developers and retailers who watched the streams and saw the FLOOD of negative comments would be idiots to develop for or sell the console. So it wasn't for them either. It was really for future investors who don't watch the stream. Tommy will make a pitch, show a clip, and show some web links to show "Look! We debuted at E3 just like a real company. Give me money!'. He's banking (literally) on people not doing due diligence. It's just like how the IGN Middle East (which I'm sure he'll describe to investors as "the Amico was showcased in an IGN feature") author wrote that he found the controller to have significant lag that WOULD affect gameplay. But Tommy to this day tells people (after going through half a dozen other excuses/revisions of reality) that "The author verified the controller had no lag that affected gameplay. You don't need to read the article. I just told you what it said. Stop. Don't look at that article!".

Bruh. I love the part where he lists off the things most people hate about modern games like "Patches, DLC, and lootboxes". The Coleco Chameleon guys said the exact same thing, as well as talking just as much about couch multiplayer being so much better vs. scary, new-fangled online multiplayer. Even if that wasn't an "Old man 'In My Day' monologue" moment, AAA publishers say lots of times that their games won't have lootboxes or DLC. Square-Enix said that about The Avengers last year, and that game still had those things. You sound less suspicious today if you don't mention DLC or lootboxes at all.

Pat's face when Tommy came on screen at the beginning was pure gold for me. Its subtle but I've done it too many times myself to count 😂

The WiiU was expensive R&D. I'm willing to bet their analytics showed most people used the screen controller the same way I did, to play a game while the TV was occupied by my wife. Thus, the Switch is born. This device has nothing going for it that me sitting on the couch playing on my phone can't already do. What is the killer feature of this thing? Switch is great family games and portability. PS5 is great story-based games and loading speed. Xbox is Game Pass and system power. Tommy has not explained why the Amico needs to exist.

But but.....the Amico cult members said this was a "homerun" presentation! Showing lag during that dice throw at E3 is so amazing. No lag guys! Physical editions which are just cards, but consume the product collectors! But hey, they got the official Cornhole license from AARP. Pat and Ian deliver once again. 👍🏻

My thoughts - Amico video presentation was 25 minutes long, according to Tommy, and they had to cut it to 10 minutes. Yet he wasted 10% of that time talking about himself instead of putting more cut footage. - Same old games and clips with few exceptions. If I remember correctly, there was supposed to be one new game every week after launch. That's a lot of new games, that we didn't see, when we consider that this was supposed to be released last October - Contact wireless is not wireless. But what's more important, will those controllers have cable charging option? If not, if the contacts stop working for whatever reason, how will you charge your controllers? - Taking your games to friend house with a controller, isn't something new to be honest. You could do that with X360 by simply logging in into your xbl account. Sure, it's better if you can just take controller instead of logging in, I'll give them that, but still, it's nothing that you can't do on other systems. - This presentation was for hardcore gamers, yet it's basically the same presentation that we've seen before. - I think they really don't have as many developers on board as they claim, that's why we were seeing mostly same games for last two years - They still didn't show, how is this controller a game changer, and E3 was a perfect time to show that. It's funny that after saying how important Amico controller is for playing Amico games, when there's a game footage, most of the time people are using smartphones. So why do we need that expensive controller for, that's driving costs so high? EDIT: - Oh yeah, about that "chip shortage" excuse. Blaze managed to launch and manufacture Evercade during pandemic. Now, they are releasing completely new console. So how can they manage to do that? I think people working there must have overall more then 600 years of experience in the industry. And fun fact. I watched old Smash JT videos about Amico and VCS, while looking for his first video about Amico. He said that Atari is going to use the pandemic as a excuse to keep delaying VCS....

True story: I made Tommy's acquaintance back in the day when I worked in the industry as a video game magazine editor (Tips & Tricks). He was one of my favorite people in the gaming realm, lots of energy and passion for gaming, a good guy. Even had him over the house for dinner once. Wealthy and a bit ego-driven, yes - but still we had fun conversations about games - and I viewed him as a really nice guy. I considered him to be a friend for DECADES - right up until about 3 years ago. I was working on an action adventure game and saw his Amico announcement, so I contacted him to see if he'd take a look at my game, maybe get it onto the Amico, you know? I even spoke with him on the phone about it. He said he'd call me back and discuss how we could to get my game onto the system. Guess what? He never called me back. I felt 100% abandoned by a guy I always admired and believed in. I think at one point he just let his ego completely take over. What a shame.

So that's not an Amico feature, it's just phone's vibrate function. He clearly only mentioned it because of the buzz the PS5 is getting with its next-gen rumble features. With the girl playing Cornhole, they try to hide the controller for most of it. But at the end of the clip for a few frames it's clearly a phone, and not that chunky, thicc monstrosity that's inconceivably based on the most uncomfortable and unresponsive controller in console gaming history.

I've never seen such an obvious flop in my life. He has created this target market in his head that doesn't exist. "Non gamers who want to play mobile games with their families on the big screen." Sorry Tommy but your research is flawed and so is your footbath.

One of the best analogies to how stupid tommy's market campaign is. "Hey you non gamers spend $250 on this device to play games that you can play on your phones. But unlike your phone this device forces you to play on your tvs and you can't play on the go like the Switch." That pitch should get all the soccer moms money. 🙄

Yet he's also putting restrictions on there that even mobile devs don't have to deal with. E rating. $10 maximum price. No dlc. Forced exclusive content. Most devs won't want to deal with that. Unless they want to quickly port over some shovelware.

This video is more informative & entertaining than the actual presentation

Retro gamers don’t want it because it is not retro : they actually banned pixel art. It is not priced for families and modern gamers don’t want to play cheap mobile clones on their TV.

Hearing about the Amico on an E3 presentation doesn't fill me confidence about the Amico. It only makes me think that E3 has fallen on hard times and needs more content.

I could listen to them talk about amico for the rest of my life and I'd be happy.

Why does Tommy look like someone I'd N E V E R buy something from?

It's not the Wii-U 2, it the Wii-Ouya. Or maybe Wii-Twoya. Need to workshop it a bit more.

I'll give the Wii U, and Ouya credit. Both systems at least came out on time, and worked as advertised right out of the gate.

@@SaviorGabriel Very true. I have an Ouya and 1) At least you could install regular Android games and apps on it. 2) It was only $100 with the controller 3) It looked nice and was unobtrusive. Most people just ended up using it as an emulation box to play 8-bit games and it's fine for that. I think the point is that both the Wii-U and Ouya were made by sincere and competent people, but the ideas just weren't what enough people wanted for them to succeed. So what chance does the Amico have when it doesn't have the competence of Nintendo (or even the Ouya guys) and has an even more limited feature set than either one AND has a massively jacked up price compared to its power? It has all the weaknesses of those two consoles and none of their strengths.

I'm starting to think this Amico thing is going to be kind of a bust.

I absolutely love when Amico is brought up on this channel. Personally I'm in agreeance with Pat and Ian on this console. I mean we have console ranges from Switch, PS4, Xbox, and PC. I get they want to be different but the controller looks like the old intellivision controller mixed with a Dreamcast VMU. This will go the way of the Ouya if they don't get AAA titles on the Amico. Other than the obvious, its just hilarious how they trash this presentation because it honestly deserves it. While I hope it succeeds, it needs to get past Ouya level of hype and more.

No Amico release date? Sounds similar to the Polymega, wait Polymega had release dates, been delayed 1, 2, 3, 4 TBD times

True, but at least Polymega sent consoles to different youtubers for tsts and reviews, so we know that it works as it should, while Amico was shown to youtubers at TT house, where they had to sign a NDA. For all I know, there was one public event in Texas, and a lot of people they interviewed for promotional video, were people one way or the other connected to TT and Amico.

I love the CU Podcast vs Tommy rivalry. It's like a pro wrestling feud. I'll be sad when (if) the amico finally launches.

That EWJ art was from Doug TenNapel's comic, not original art for EWJ3.

Pat, and you guys completely and thoroughly nail this to the wall! I mean I would be embarrassed if I were on the intellivision team. You know there's trouble probably cuz of the weak and inept leadership. Plus like I said before in the past oh, this is a product without a market

I like how that signed art has a big "Tennapel" on it even though Intellivision tried to disassociate with him.

Uhhh, let’s be fair guys. The reason the Amico was a thud at the convention was because it was SO GROUND-BREAKINGLY AWESOME that English doesn’t yet have the words to describe it. Mark my words: the Amico will be the Shakespeare of the videogame industry, leaving upwards of 500 new words in its wake to properly describe it. As for Pat’s contention that the leaderboard idea is circa ‘99, try pulling it back to the 70s. The 2600 software companies would send you stuff if you beat certain scores.

I was going to give an honest reply, but it's not worth replying to obvious sarcasm. Well done, sir

I understand the Wii u 2 metaphor by Ian, but I think it's more like the r-zone 2. The screen on the controller is an obvious comparison. It just seems like a sequel to a ripoff of a bad Nintendo console.

Gues what? Amico isn’t coming out this year…

aside from it being fodder for this podcast why do people even care about the amico? it looked like a piece of shit the second it was announced and every few months since then when news came out it looked even worse. its underpowered and the games are on a level of mobile phones from 2006.

Watching a desperate scammer is more fun than big companies with no real content. I enjoyed it more than the Capcom and Gearbox ones.

This Led color ring disc pad is worst idea since without ability of dimming or disabling this crappy disco thing could be very distracting during gameplay.

Victor Lucas was disappointed by it when he streamed it as his old coworker on that gane show

I frigging love this saga so much!

the whole pitch would have sounded convincing to my grand-parents back in the late '90s/early '00s as a x-mas/birthday present for my younger cousins. They bought the original intellivision for my uncle back in '79. so they remember the name. Back in those days they were somewhat concerned about "killer games" and "non-child friendly content", as well as "playing alone in a dark room", so the whole "family-friendly couch coop" might have sounded interessting. Also the whole bells and whistles with motion control, touch screen and blinking lights would probably have looked futuristic to them. Then the Wii came out, and that marked was covered. By now, 20+ years have passed, and my grand-parents aren't buying consoles for their (by now adult) grand-children, or (teenage) great-grand-children. The whole '90s moral panic doesn't hold much sway with the my parents, and they are happy with the Switch for them and their grandkids, motion control, couch co-op and simple family games included. Anyway, it's now up to me and my siblings to buy consoles for the next generation, to us "intellivision" is "the old clunky thing we used bevore the NES came out", whatever "innovative" features the controller is supposed to have has been tried back when we were young adults and either became standard or failed miserably and have been discarded, and the games look like something the kids already play on their phone for free. So why should I spend cash on that stuff. The whole thing is AT LEAST a generation too late.

You're telling me that the intellivision amico didn't save e3 this year damn keep up the good work

once again i have zero interest in the Amico and i have 1000% interest in the playdate

Just watched Giant Bomb trash this hard

if this thing comes out , it going be in the close out stores for 50 dollars in like two months lol

I wonder how many of these silly downvotes are from Tommy's alts?

Bizarre, appearing at an E3 in June, when they will probably announce a delay in October. This thing and its games are in alpha state.

Let's just keep throwing sh** at the wall and see what sticks... lol... That tactic only works so long, then you just begin to sound desperate...

If you have to look at the controller in order to play the game, that controller is a failure.

Do Pat's Amico videos get more views than Tommy's Amico videos?

There are some good ideas. Transfer of license with controller is neat. The printing of a certificate is kinda lame but at the same point, that is all I got with all my microsoft certifications that cost me $1000s in tests soo? Not dealing with ads and gotcha mechanics will be a plus for any parents. Now if only it was not a POS :P

How long has this thing been launching?

I guarantee you that the handful of dudes who constantly show up in like every amiico video and talk about how great it is don’t actually believe the console is going to succeed. See, I don’t necessarily believe that they’re shills, per say. Because I do think that they’re at least passionate about the product. It’s probably fun to fly over to California, be in videos/promote your channel, meet the team, etc. They probably LIKE amiico and enjoy being a part of the launch, but deep down they probably don’t think it will succeed either.

Just gonna settle in with a few beers and some popcorn for this one...

Love how they are picking apart this faurd
