Intellivision Amico - An upcoming console you know less about than the Atari VCS

[Pee Cola]

That video features a hand assembled dev kit. That's why there's no shrink wrap.

Yeah. Seems like John Alvarado fessed up to this shortly after the video dropped.

I don't think they've even designed a proper instruction manual yet.

An eagle-eyed Amico watcher spotted a couple of interesting things about the Quick Start Guide. Note the red lines around the edges of the guide. There is also a typo that's unintentionally hilarious.

As the only person on earth who owned Cool Spot, I take exception to this comment. It's a retarded soda marketing game, but the soundtrack is cash money. Particularly the Genesis version.

He also made le Roblox oof. Seriously, it's stolen from a game called Messiah that Tallarico did the SFX for. Every zoomer in the English-speaking world knows his work.

Tommy never created the oof sound. It was created by someone else in his company. Tommy end up deleting that tweet after it was bought up on the amico reddit 2 years later. It like how Tommy claim he did the soundtrack for Metroid Prime when in reality he only did a blaster sound effect that was left in the game.

SaggyMelonz is saying that the Amico drama has made her suicidal in this one hour stream of her chimping out.

edit: Saggy privated her video so I reuploaded it

edit2: Saggy copyright claimed my reupload so I've uploaded it to a different site: https://odysee.com/Y2Mate.is---Sagg...TH-(archive)-WFzd0yrdGvc-720p-1652630254271:3

Funny thing is that she the one that always either starting the "drama" or getting involved in the "drama".

That’s what you get when you choose a fleeting association with an aging hasbeen over your own mental health.

INTV just dropped an announcement about the Amico in an Amico-related FB group.

Spoiler: Image

tl;dr:
- Amico will no longer be available from GameStop
- The Amico will now only be available in Galaxy Purple or Vintage Wood Grain finish
- Prices for new pre-orders now starting at $289.99 for an Amico with one controller, or $339.99 for two controllers
- No deposit is required for new pre-orders
- Cancelled GameStop pre-orders will be honoured at the old $299.99 for two controllers price point

The remaining Tallarico/INTV cultists are reportedly celebrating this announcement in one of their FB hugboxes (at least according to r/Intellivision_Amico).

 

[Someone in a Tree]

They’re gonna find a vast audience of consumers too stupid to spend $10 extra bucks for a Switch. Celebrating this news is like celebrating because the doctor was able to save two of your fingers after a silo explosion.

Some autist has reconstructed most of the infamous AtariAge thread about the Amico. Whilst the first 1200 pages or so were found on IA, some of the later pages weren't archived prior to AtariAge hiding the thread (and the whole Amico subforum).

Going through some screenshots and I forgot to post this: in January 2021, I saw a paid ad on YouTube for the Amico:


I have no idea what that video was though

It's a video by some dumbass Intellivision fan saying how the Amico will be the greatest console ever.

lol at the comments. Of course Tommy showed up:





but then the next post down:


and worst of all, HE CREATED THE AD AND BOUGHT ADSPACE ON HIS OWN, FOR A PRODUCT HE HAS NO INVOLVEMENT IN:

Hans Ippisch (INTV's European President) has bailed. I guess this means INTV won't be getting any more development funding from Bavarian taxpayers any time soon.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

200m units lmao I don't even know what to say.

200m units lmao I don't even know what to say.

Okay, you know what? Scratch that, 200 million is such a silly number, let's compare it to phones:


So he predicted the Intellivision Amico selling more units than the second best selling iPhone. I-, just-, that's-... I don't even know what to say either

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

For fun, one way of looking at that statement is it's him saying Amico will sell as much as PS2, NGC, and XB combined.

 

[LegoTugboat]

For more fun, it's like saying Amico will sell almost as many units as desktops and laptops shipped by Dell, HP and Lenovo in 2021 (215 million, estimated).

That's freaking crazy.

Can’t wait for those cultists to start adopting “it was the friends we made along the way” mindset once it’s definitively announced that the console won’t be coming out. I didn’t follow the Ouya and Coleco Chameleon sagas. Were the top brass and fans just as delusional with those as they are with this?

Don't know much about the Coleco Chameleon, but the top brass for Ouya were very delusional.

 

[Anon88]

I'm not even convinced that 200m people have even heard of the Intellivision.
