I can't see them doing a full size A500. That computer is enormous and it would be almost completely empty. An A600 seems much more likely.

A 600 is not the most well loved Amiga. I bet it's either the A500 or A1200. These were the most iconic Amigas.

[@tomaskonvicka4135]

Yeah. They should definitely make the A1200 mini rather than the a500 maxi. it's stupid. it's really big and if anyone can relate to it they should buy a real Amiga 500 instead, they are still very affordable.

[@evilpuke1081]

They are not saving this for nothing. It will be a full sized amiga. Just like the big c64 Maxi we got

[@JesseDylanMusic]

The C64 maxi is mostly empty too! 😂 but yeah not as big. Sad I missed that one. I’d be happy with an A1200 or whatever! I think we assume A500 maxi because they did the A500 mini.

[@mdr_random]

If retrogames is listening or anyone: Can you make the full size consoles work as a standalone keyboard? Think about desk space and setting these machines up. If the computer works as a USB keyboard for Windows/Mac/Linux but you could think switch to "full computer" mode that would be great! IMHO.

[@ZxSpectrumplus]

I think older 8 bits micros all have unique keyboards like Speccy/C64 etc are not suitable. Maybe Amiga is close to modern day PC keyboard though. This is actually a neat idea. A flip of a switch to allow it to use as USB keyboard. I actually have a desk just for retro computers....If it's really the Amiga500 Maxi they're making...Holy cow...i don't have enough space and probably stick to my Rpi400 running Pimiga 4.0 / Tomato Retropie. It works great for me currently.

I'd be all over THAT, especially if it came with a complete rom set - I used to love Pickaxe Pete, Killer Bees and the K.C. Munchkin games back in the early 80s! I'm old, I went from (from a very young age) Binatone (Mk10 iirc), Philips Videopac G700 (Odyssey 2) to 48k Speccy, Amiga A1200 then nothing until the PS3, which I bought mostly for the Bluray player,

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

So we now know that the Q1 2024 New Mini Console will be the Atari 400 Mini, which is not a UK specific machine like the ZX Spectrum or Amstrad but one that has a more much international appeal. With that knowledge in mind, I bet the Q3 2025 release will be a full size "maxi" version of the Atari 400 - though I'm hoping they'll make it the Atari 800 in that case so we don't have to deal with a membrane keyboard! That leaves only the Q1 2025 full size - I wonder what that will be? I would love to an NEC PC-98 Mini myself.

It'll probably be an Amiga CD32 mini.

This is pretty cool and I'm really curious to see their other announcements and products. I have a bit of an odd question I'm hoping you might be able to help me with. If I remember correctly (and I really hope I do and apologize in advance if I'm wrong) you enjoyed the Alien Breed games. They came up in the A500 Mini and the Evercade collection and I think you had positive things to say in both videos. Do you have any suggestions on maybe which if any is more friendly for someone just getting into them? I want to like these games but feel like I just spend my time wondering around and dying a lot while making very, very little progress. Is that just the nature of these games? Or maybe I should find some walkthroughs to get started? Or maybe one of them is a little more straightforward (and gives you a map)? I play them through Antstream Arcade so I have access to all of them and maybe my problem is playing a little of each and not just diving into one? I appreciate any guidance you can provide as they seem to be popular, interesting games and I want to give them a fair chance. Thanks Crazy Burger!

[@CrazyBurger]

All of the games are pretty tough to be honest. There is definitely a lot of aimless wandering about.. save states definitely help.. possibly best going with Tower Assault. There's good guides here that also has cheats. gamefaqs.gamespot.com/cd32/952218-alien-breed-tower-assault/faqs/80112/cheats

Even better for the A500 Maxi is just like with the new Atari 2600+ that uses most of the original Atari 2600-7800 cartridges is that I would like the full size A500 to have a floppy drive so we can use original Amiga 500-1000 floppies.

Great video. Would suggest adding a bit of rgb in background, removing the wooden table look and increasing sharpness of video, just my 2 cents 😊

[@Karnov1977]

I predict an A500 “midi” (mid sized, not MIDI as in the musical instrument interface.) since a full size Amiga 500 would be enormous. I bet they’ll keep the original design, sans most of the rear portion since no floppy drive is needed and it’d be mostly empty space. Also, I predict an Atari 520ST full size, since it’s already in a smaller form factor design since it didn’t have a built in floppy drive.

[@lawrencehubbard2985]

The one release said 2/3’s the size. As long the keyboard works will be great. What is bad is software that requires a keyboard overlay. Is someone going to sell the manual’s game’s and overlays and? The A500 is lacking in all of this and basic functionality because of the keyboard.

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

I think the a500 maxi will just have an sd card slot built in where the disk drive goes with an adaptor to make it look like a disc has been inserted. Cant wait to see what the next console will be although with the spectrum next out I would be very surprised, amstrad I dont think has the following to warrant a release, possible cd23 but whats the point when the mini can emulate the a1200 essentially the same thing. it wont be anything sega or nintendo as their ip is still lucrative to them. hmm its a tough one I look forward to seeing what it is, thank you for you tutorial vids on the a500 mini, they really helped me with the whd load and the problem i had with not all my games showing up in one folder, all the best from the south west.

I don't think the mini console will be a Spectrum. There are so many Spectrum projects out there in the market from the NEXT to clones like NGO and Xberry Pi to handheld project like TZX Touch. Nobody would be interested. Anyone who wants a real Spectrum already have one and it's original form factor is already mini in size. For the machines after Amiga, i would predict an Atari ST is imminent. I would love to have a full size BBC micro as well.

[@EnjoySynthSounds]

There’s no point of a Speccy unless it has a working keyboard. Games really need hassle free key presses. The original cases and keyboards are super cool. There’s a new Speccy emulation only main board on the way, that fits Speccy 48k cases, but alas no keyboard support. Speccy games really do need keyboard inputs, more so than C64. A segaMs would be nice, albeit branding would be a major issue. Retro Games had an easy job branding their c64 as the 64” -it was a no brainier workaround, but a touch harder for Sega machines. Interesting times.

[@CrazyBurger]

Very good point there.. emulating spectrum is generally a pain due to the heavy keyboard use in many games.. maybe it's not that..

They consider these devices consoles because they are primarily games machines first, computers as a distant second.

Full size is abit too much. 3/4 scale with a perfect replica of the Quickshot II turbo. ( I had the OG joystick that you get with the maxi. It was nothing like this pile of horse manure. It had a solid metal shaft, while a bit stiff it always finished leaving a smile on ya face)
