I don't know but I do know that I love reading YouTube comments on videos about this scam:

"Uncomplicated family fun"
I'm even more confused. Old, uncomplicated games exist and they're much less expensive than the Amico. You can play Kirby's Adventure on the Switch, it's much better than anything you'll find on the Amico. Or, if you want to save money and actually interact with your family, buy Hungry Hungry Hippos. Amico supporters are either fake or simply NEED to spend money.

Slopes just dropped a video about the so called "physical releases" for the Amico. Tommy sent him a bunch of these releases, which Slopes then passed onto Ashens to unbox, and a whole bunch of other British retrogaming YouTubers gave their hot takes (apparently based on Ashens' unboxing).
For what it's worth, the physical media is nothing more than an RFID card shaped like an Intellivision cartridge that downloads the game to the user's Amico.

That console looks like it came out from those Wii Phones/Xbox 720 type of videos.

The more I go down the Amico rabbit hole, the more convinced I am that Tommy Tallarico is a lolcow.
Irrespective of your personal opinion on DJ Slope (I know he's a bit soy for some Farmers' tastes), this interview with TT is worth sitting through if you want to see what I mean.
Even if TT isn't worthy of a lolcow thread, the Intellivision Amico community is probably worth a CW thread, although I'm not sure if the Intellivision Amico community would have much in the way of long term milk. Maybe a general Retrogaming Drama CW thread would work? (there are plenty of cows in the retrogaming scene; not necessarily YouTubers either).
Just search for "Slope Amico" on YouTube and you'll see what I mean; stans and detractors are just as bovine as each other, and they all seem butthurt that Slope's interview was generally neutral, albeit with some tougher questions being asked towards the end.
You'll also learn that backing a crowdfunding campaign is exactly the same thing as making a direct investment into a company. Were it not for the galaxy-brained Amico detractors, I would never have known that.

As someone who enjoys the original Intellivision and other vintage game system, this is depressing.

I generally like DJ Slopes’ videos, so it’s pretty painful to see him giving Tommy the benefit of the doubt on a console/project that has lost that right a long time ago. I used to think that maybe Pat and Ian with the CU Podcast fixated too much on the Amico, spending half an hour talking about it each time there’s a minor update, but given how many softball interviews and coverage Tommy has been able to secure, maybe someone needs to keep pointing at this thing and reminding people that it’s bad.

Amico updates are like Pat the NES Punk's own little KF corner, where he and Ian keep their listeners up-to-date on all of Tommy's antics. They played a clip on CUPodcast #289 of Slopes Game Room asking Tommy what kind of encryption the RFID chips use, and Tommy stumbled over his words and smugly refused to answer. It was so obvious he was caught off guard and pulled something straight out of his ass.

Who Are These Podcasts?: Ep286 - Amico All Access
This week we listen to old video game nerds argue about a video game console that does not yet exist and might not ever exist. It almost made me miss politics. Vito Gesualdi makes his WATP debut to tell us why he enjoys fucking with these people. Then Larry Bleidner joins the show to chat about...

Karl from WATP and Vito Gesualdi did an episode on the small time youtubers who are friends with Tommy Talarico and act like a cult. It was pretty fascinating, first time I'd heard of it. I can't wait until it is released as the Ouya 2.

Why are "haters" always "jealous"? Jealous of what? It never makes sense. Unless you have something truly envy-worthy, shut yer mouth.
Ironic that this Iron Deed says haters have no zip and no "emoji clusterfuck" because they played too much vidya. You know, in a comment section about vidya. He's complaining about da haydars all being in their 40s and 50s. While using an old timer term like "zip".
Then we get Patrick Prevenas here with "yakking pieholes". Unless he's 80 it sounds ridiculous. Sounds like something grandpappy says when he tells you about how he had to walk 70 miles through neck deep show to get to school. He and his 12 siblings only had one shoe between them and they all had to take turns wearing it. So shut up and eat your green beans. When I was your age they weren't even invented yet.

It makes me wonder if some of these people are shills.

The closer the Amico's release date looms, the more desperate the Nintendo shills get. The review-bombing and troll comments make it pretty obvious that panic is in the air at "Club N". Us Tallarico-holics will be enjoying family fun while they choke on their bile.

It's practically all Tallarico ever talks about on his Twitter. He's pretty desperate and most of the responses to him (as of a couple months ago) are telling him how full of shit he is, so I'm not sure most people are buying the bullshit he's slinging out.
Speaking of which, at what point was it decided he was going the NFT root? Aside from the common grievances of NFTs, I have a feeling it's another last-ditch effort to try and appeal to suckers. If he can't get the nostalgia market, maybe he thinks he can get the weird new tech investor market.
