To be fair, this is probably the best thing they could have done for a modern "Intellevision remake".

[@DarkAnon100]

i mean, lookwise, it's actually look like a modern Intellivision and of itself, the Amico could have potential......if it was not made by at best incompetant people and at worst scammers. Seriously, it is sold at now 300$ with only ONE controller (because yes, in the new update, the console will only come with one controller even tho the console has two spots for it and was supposed to come with two for 250) for that price i can have a New Switch.

Tommy should officially be considered a lolcow by now

[@brazilian_oak]

I remember reading about this console and seeing new EWJ prototype footage and thinking: "Man, this is going to be good". And that was last year. But if that's the only huge game you're gonna have I'm afraid your userbase will be as small as a gas station convenience store in the middle of nowhere.

I still come back to this video from time to time. Still makes me laugh. Man, the Amico saga ended well.

I only have one question surprisingly, what is stuttering Craig supporting bootleg Switch like he 100% know the Switch exist

[@toyvania]

Because Craig is a friend of Tommy Tallarico.

Just started the vid, but I would kill for a re-release of "Intellivision Lives!" for the Switch. The PS2 version was so small it was released on CD, yes a PS2 CD, not DVD. Edit: Claw, look at the original Intellivision controller, and the Amico controller will make sense. The originals sucked, but the games were often unplayable when ported to newer consoles due to not matching. Also they had a number pad you would put paper overlays on to show what each button does. Hence the touch screen component to use as a substitute. Looks retarded, but if it looks stupid and it works, then its not stupid.

[@DMurcielago]

If a spinning-dildo face-slap machine was invented, and it works perfectly fine and slaps you in the face with dildos, I'm sorry to say, but it's still stupid.

[@RemoWilliams1227]

Lol so I have to do one more step and convert it to iso before I play it on the ps2 open loader

[@vito]

Hey we agree for once

[@ars731]

I feel like this would have been better as an collection of remakes or an publisher on an more established platform. This feel like an completely unnecessary thing that no one will care about

[@sugarcoatedslaughterhouse4937]

That skinny elf kid looks like he’s being held hostage

[@etaidade3983]

I can only imagine this being made JUST to remind people the intellivision company exists because this is waay to stupid to be just an attempt at an actual new console

Welp, this is the only way to watch the six hour stream. I want to apologize to Papa Claw for making a playlist of his unlisted streams. And I hate that the Pamperchu stream got blocked in the US

[@EternityForest]

I absolutely adore the general concept for this console. They focus on the two big missing things. IRL integration with the RFID tags and in person multiplayer. It's the most explicit attempt to recreate what made games so much fun in the 90s. The screens on the controllers are just what we would have all wanted, were it possible for a sane price.

[@visual_Memories]

Tommy should have stuck to Video Games Live. That's a cushy life, I'd say-- he got to tour the world and jam out with the likes of Akira Yamoaka (Silent Hill) and Jack Wall (Myst). He had the admiration of the gaming industry, built upon decades of goodwill. Those days are the best he'll ever have, with the best company he ever had, but after _this?_ Dude is radioactive. The Butch Hartman comparisons are apt as the story is the same; a machismo-type with a fat ego pretends to be more than the sum of his parts, enters a position of leadership, and is crushed under the weight of his warped expectations. I feel the most for the former Neverhood/DreamWorks Interactive fellas who were roped into this scheme, and for the fans and investors who leapt to back Amico and likely aren't getting any of that money back.

Except that's not even true analog movement; remember, it only lets you move in 64 directions.

Nice having edited videos again. Funny thing is I remember back on Electric Playground Timmy saying how he thought the Wii was kinda lame.

This is just a family console so that a 70-year-old can play with their grandchildren

[@zicklane]

which the wii did SO much better

[@dreye3215]

I'd be more interested in a Magnavox Odyssey 3. The Odyssey 1 was actually the first ever home console, and the Odyssey 2 was more popular than the Intellivision.

[@RsRj-qd2cg]

This looks like one of those machines you see at mall kiosks, right next to the Chinese Wii ripoff and the N64 controller that plugs directly into the TV to play Atari games.

[@DeN-nc7rx]
