@Brian Babin You can play and will be able to play your Evercade games without the internet and Blaze's servers long after they go out of business. You can still play Intellivision carts after 40+ years. The moment the Amico servers shut down because they no longer have the money to have them up, if you haven't activated one of those "physical products", they will be as good as a phone card today.

After the specs leaked, critics were calling the Amico a "phone" you hook up to your TV, and with the games just being downloads, they don't do anything to shake that stigma. My excitement for this system is waning more and more. Not just because of the lack of physical media, but because Tommy and company have constantly doing things to deceive the public. Whether it be the promise of physical games, or the staged products shows.

Ah it’s a shame. The actual FAQ for the Amico mentions physical games but I guess not. I was hoping there was something physical so you wouldn’t have to download anything.

These look like cell phone games, which yeah cell phone games are fun, but I can already play cell phone games anywhere, and I figure most people who don't have a family with young children will also look at this in a similar manner.I get who it's geared toward, but it's so niche in this day and age, companies are just better off adapting for existing platforms.

If only the console had been released or given a definite release date. Even if one is for the Amico, it is seemingly a huge risk to splash out money for the game boxes when there is no guarantee when or even IF any of the games will ever be released for an Amico - this is according to the small print of the legalese pertaining to these "releases". I want to believe... I just can not.

Wow. You get to review boxes with no means to play them. Sarcasm aside, I would love to hear your take on the Amico situation; you're one of the few to actually play the console. Does it have a spot in modern gaming? Is it in any way worth the price tag that's going to be put on it? Who IS the audience for the Amico? It's hard to KZbin research the Amico because the only people who talk about it are in Tommy's pocket. Could you give an impartial discussion on it?

I just realized something. Any bets that these "physical games" that are being sold separately before the system comes out are also the 10 free "pack in" games? You know, like you'll get them for free when the system comes out, if it ever does, so buying them now is just a total rip off.
