I love this new era of Smash roasting Amico.

Mark my words they will release a plastic shell if you buy a 2 controller bundle, it will only store and charge your controllers.

They wouldn't release a shell (never will on a mass scale), they'd just send out 3D print files for someone to do it from their own home. 😂

Ya once the Amico Controller is released people can really just make their own console. I would order a 3D printed Amico Charge station. And just put it next to the Shield running Amico home.

In the 1 in a million chance that they actually even get close to the timeline it'd at least help build up a little glimmer of trust..... I think the timeline (especially IOS, and manufacturing) sounds way too aggressive to be true. You kind of have a point when you asked why they released this time line.... They were better off saying nothing until they had product in hand and THEN announcing dates. That'd build up trust too and has no downside if they miss deadlines.

Sega Does What Intellivisiondon't!

As comical as all this is, in the end it's so sad. I always wanted an Intellivision back in the day, but we couldn't afford one. I befriended a rich kid so I could play with him (I know, but children are awful anyway) and loved the thing. When word of the Amico first got out, I was so excited - especially with the promised upgrades of titles like Astrosmash and Night Stalker. The initial teasers were enough to get me to lay out $100 and I was damn looking forward to this. About a year or so ago, I started seeing the warning signs on videos across different channels and I reluctantly asked for a deposit refund, figuring I could get one anyway when they would hit stores - even if it wasn't the cool woodgrain one I wanted. And now? It's so sad to see the IP tied up in this. Would I pay for a console to play what looked like simpler, fun games, and especially new versions of beloved classic INTV games? Hell yes. Will I ever get the chance? Probably not.

The Amico was clearly just trying to cash in on easy Android technology and it didn't work, it fell apart completely. I think it's also because it came so late that the same tech is able to basically be made by any consumer if they really want to. After the Ouya, no publisher was going to invest wholly in something like this.

I think there's a legit argument to be made that the Ouya wasn't that bad: their downfall was their software development strategy, IMO. Overall value for money to the consumer: the Ouya wasn't that bad.

Great Amico Coverage ! I agree the future of the console for this year isn't good. But I think its a good thing overall because this means they have full attention on getting the Amico controller to market. Releasing one new Amico Home game per month seems fair. Your right they haven't released a really good game yet and its a big question do they have one ready to come out soon. Can you imagine they end up releasing a viral game that sells 100 million copies for $20 ? Then what ? Then Tommy was right all along.

It's a good thing that this thing is a dumpster fire because that means they have their full attention on the Amico controller? 🤔 There isn't going to be a viral amico game. I can guarantee you that. No game that is exclusive to Amico will ever go viral. And even if it did, that still wouldn't make Tommy's lies he's told over the years the truth all of a sudden.

@@JaceyMitchell I agree with you the original Amico Console idea wasn't great. Its actually much better running on Android Boxes. Anyone saying they know what games will sell well and what ones won't are actually telling lies. Because nobody knows that. The game doesn't even half to be exclusive to Amico. Even the games ported to it are actually better on a superior device. Like how Wii U games sold like trash. But same games went viral on Switch. What exactly did Tommy say that you think is a lie ? Most of that is spouted out from KZreadrs making clickbait. Trying to put words in his mouth.
