Couldn't care less about the Amico at this point, and Tommy's probably going to prison in the end, but the one thing that really pisses me off about the whole ordeal is the limbo that Earthworm Jim 4 now finds itself in. I was genuinely looking forward to a new Earthworm Jim game hearkening back to the franchise's actual 2D roots with so many of the original devs attached to the project. I can only hope that somehow the game finds a new publisher, though if what I've heard is true, the game never actually saw any substantial development to begin with (comparable to much of what was promised regarding all things Amico), so there's probably no real loss there when all is said and done.

It's going for a different market, and even though you may not like Amico Home, it's better suited for its Mainstream market. But, you can still play Amico as a traditional console.

Its really hard to believe all 4 of your grand kids wanted Amicos, I think you were an Intellivision fan back in the day and wanted to get them one. More then likely your grandkids like all kids these days either have the Nintendo Switch a Xbox, or a Sony Playstation. The Nintendo Switch is by far the most family friendly system, the Amico controller was basically a carbon copy of the Nintendo Wii controller with the addition of a disc instead of a D-Pad and Joystick. The D-Pad has been used on every single video game system since the NES . The Intellivision disc pad was one of the worst ways to controller a video game. The Nintendo has actually been around since it was first produced in Japan on July 15th 1983 and Oct 18th 1985 in USA and has always released a new system every 7 - 8 years. The Playstation has been around since it was first released in Japan in December 3rd 1994, and in September 9, 1995 in the U.S. While the Xbox was first released on Nov 15th 2001. They never would of been able to compete with the big 3 even if if was released. Also Tommy Tellirico took out a stupid loan that sunk the company and how he agreed to pay it back was he had to give this Sudesh guy $100 from every unit sold until he paid back $800,000. That would of forced them to increase the price of the console which was basically a 2016 smart phone in 2024 market technology. It would never been able to compete with the PS5, Switch, and Xbox graphics and established Triple A gaming franchises. Also 2 weeks ago Intellivision sold there rights and all there video game properties to Atari. They claim there still going to make the amico but its officially dead in the water, and has been years ago. It was suppose to come out in 2020. The Technology in the console is already 9 years old if your count 2016.

Needing a new console for everything is a concept for people stuck in the past. It's not like the 90's when the hardware for each was so vastly different.

Your falling for the troll comments. Everyone got refunds , it was a joke started to make fun of Tommy that he wasn't refunding. Amico Home is the exact same as the original console that it can play the games. The only difference it allows far more powerful Android Boxes to run them with better graphics on your TV. The original idea included using phones as controllers. I'm glad they didn't go with cartridges because the games are getting expansions and content updates all the time. I thought I wouldn't like using my phone as a controller. But to my surprise with a stick on Disc its amazing. The games are still local multiplayer. They never added any online play even with Amico Home.

Most people still haven’t gotten refunds. Intellivision is trying to get backers to apply the $100 downpayment towards Amico Home instead. You need to jump through hoops to get that money back.
