Intellivision Amico DELAYED A THIRD TIME 

What do you think? Will the Amico actually release in 2021? Will it release sometime in 2022? Will it release at all? Were you someone with a preorder looking to now cancel yours? Let me know!

As Ian always says, getting the product out is still just the starting line 😂

"600 years of talent" always kills me lol

"They have been making games since the middle ages" that got me in stitches 🤣😂😅

I'm putting very high odds that it never is released and Tommy will full out blame Pat and Ian for the failure because they made negative videos about the system. Zero chances of Tommy being accountable for his poor decisions for the reason of the failure.

I think it was George Orwell that once said, " the Amico console will be delayed for a third time".

Someone close to Tommy needs to stage an intervention. This whole thing is a midlife crisis that's gone on way too long. He doesn't want to do the work of a video game company CEO. He just wants to roleplay as one in a desperate attempt to recapture some magic for the favorite brand of his youth. It's been clear for a while now that they just don't have the people in place to make this thing come together properly and the longer it goes on the sadder it gets.

Maybe Tommy can sell the amico molds to a dentist equipment company.

This is the fyre fest of gaming consoles- without the hype

Smash JT's response to this announcement is hilarious. He basically resorts to the 2nd grade logic of, "people are just hating on me because they're jealous that I'm more successful than them." And that's an actual quote from him.

I look forward to the day when Pat and Tommy meet and throw hands more than any possible release of the Amico. I've never seen so much controversy over what is essentially a total piece of shit that nobody is going to buy.

The thing still looks like a bathroom scale with a couple iPods sitting on it.

HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

I doubt that they are ever going to actually launch. If they can't put together 20,000 units for a launch and they can't finalize some simple games after such a long time then there is a very real possibility that Amico ecosystem has show-stopping flaws that they can't overcome. They aren't selling advanced AAA games on cutting edge hardware. There has to be a reason for the delays and it sure as hell isn't what Tommy is putting out.

You called it over and over and haters tried to hate but don't they feel silly now!! YEA!

The Amico drama is probably more entertaining than the console itself

Funny how Turbo Joe had his buddy film him at a family event while dropping the F bomb in front of kids. But it's for the whole family. Rich stopped backing the Amico just not soon enough to save his dignity

How much good was their 600 years of experience for them if they're completely failing at rolling out a technologically outdated piece of hardware?

You haters failed to acknowledge that the printable high score certificates might be ready for Xmas!

While we all saw it coming, I actually laughed out loud when I read the title.

For all of the heat you get from Amico defenders, you've forecast almost every single Amico failing accurately, months in advance. People need to pay attention to your predictions.

Time to start the Amico death watch

That thing is going to be "retro" even before it comes out.

God damn... AtariAge traded its reputation to white-knight America's answer to the Vega+.

This Amico team couldn't run a bath, let alone a company

With the way things are going, I expect to see Tommy someday on American Greed.

Tommy's posts and communications make me kinda sick tbh. He reminds me of narcissists who manipulate their poor girlfriends with lies and promises that never materialize. Pretty gross...

The word that comes to my mind every time I hear about a new development in this story, would be "debacle." Another word that keeps popping into my head when I hear about the Amico's C.E.O. would be, "unscrupulous."

I'm just here to try out my new Frank emojis

I have been waiting for this video ever since I read about it in an article a few days ago.

I think they will have to ship consoles without controllers and tell people to use their phone to play it. Then they will promise to ship controllers at a later date, but it won't happen.

Anyone else remember watching Tommy and Vic doing Judgement Day / Electronic Playground on G4 in the early 2000’s? Never did I think the guy who slammed any game that didn’t have big breasts, violence and swearing become a CEO of a “family friendly” company.

People shouldn't be surprised by any of the Amico stuff with Tommy. I mean hell even on the Video Games Live shows he mimed playing guitar. Shysters gonna shyst lol

This is up for pre order in the UK on Argos for £250. The Series S is £250... Yikes

With all due apologies to Lionel Richie and the Commodores: Because it's once, twice, three times delayed, yeaaaaahhhhhh.... Aaaaaammmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiicooooooooo! So, what comes first? Delay #4, or, an outright cancellation?

Tommy should've just done what Soulja Boy did, take an existing product and just put his name on it. There are plenty of cheap knockoffs from China he could've put Amico shells on. Honestly that probably would've saved him alot of the problems he has now 😂

This has become Pat and Ian's Watergate, so many twists and turns, can't wait for the movie adaption.

Re: the controller shutting off after being tapped, I think that was mmofallout's non-cultist impressions.

Tommy's a personality he doesn't know how to run a company. All he sees is dollar signs in his retirement fund. Tommy was so preoccupied to see if he could make a console he didn't stop to think if he should.

I described this to a friend recently, without mentioning specifics. They called it right out as a scam without me even getting into details. If someone like that who isn't even following can smell the bull without even approaching the pen, you know it's not good. My personal take: 90% of the Amico's problems can be solved with a roll of duct tape applied to Tommy's mouth.

Did you hear what Intellivision’s free gift was to early backers? Tommy’s music!

And Tommy just put up a new crowdfunding proposal on "Fundable" in which he admits to (and this is probably a huge exaggeration in TT's favor) that the OS is only "90%" done and the backend (you know, the thing you would need to create an account, buy games, activate your "physical products", etc) is only "80%". He's down from hundreds of developers with 50 launch window games to just 40 "in development" total. Also remember that software engineers will tell you the last 10% takes half the time, so their OS should be done in another two years. Again, this was something that was meant to be in people's homes in October 2020 and Tommy had said was "99.9%" done last year. Funnily, he claims in his new pitch that the hardware is 100% complete, yet the Amico still doesn't have its FCC certification. Without it, IE doesn't even KNOW if the hardware is complete. It could require (costly, lengthy) changes to gain certification. He also modified his "tens of thousands of pre-orders" to just "6000+". "Tens of thousands" is 20000+ at a minimum. So he either had a lot of cancellations or he's just pulling numbers out of his ass- although being more careful now that he's drawn the attention of the SEC. To soften the blow, he now added some new "partners" but lists them as "in process" including Crayola and Playmobil. "In process" has no legal meaning. There's no contract signed. Tommy could have randomly sent an email to Playmobil that said "want a ride in my Ferrari?" and could say negotiations were "in process". Even with a contract, deals still fall through. There was a signed contract for a Superman movie starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Tim Burton. That was a "done deal" with a contract, money changing hands, and everything. Have you seen a Tim Burton Superman movie with Nic Cage? So "in process" is just more meaningless puffery like his talk of a four-player Contra (bet the Mom 2.0s will LOVE that).

I am SHOCKED The investors are still there for this.

Lemme guess...Tommy is going to blame the pandemic on "chip shortage" for the 100th time although his chips are from 2013 and his project started before the pandemic.

This console is like Bigfoot, talked about so much but never seen!

Human beings never want to admit that they’ve been conned. It’s fascinating to watch but also very pathetic and sad. Boomers and Gen X Vintage video game enthusiasts have money and unfortunately there are scores of bottom feeding con artists circling the waters.

You guys are great. Screw the haters. Btw I'll watch after Amico ends just like I watched before Amico was sparkle in Tommys eye

Imagine grandmothers and kids throwing their 800$ iPhones at the 4K Screen breaking both.

Retailers over here in Germany like Media Markt, Saturn and Amazon rescheduled the release as of today to December 31st 2022!!! That means they don't know sh*t and this is not looking good. I was never much interested in the Amico but I wanted to check for myself after release... well, I guess I complete Cyberpunk without any glitch or crash on my Steam Deck way before I speed run corn hole 😂

Once again, bless you guys for continually reporting on this disaster. People need to know this stuff!

Pat and Ian right again. Amico fans will go crazy and go after everyone now that talk about their console in negative light or honestly.

7:35 onwards Pat looking at Ian like a proud father at a school play....

OEM Pete Turbo Joe Smash JT all attack me for saying how Pat and Ian have been correct since the start

I just have a feeling that they're probably having financial issues and they're probably looking for more investors. I think it's going to be 2023 before we see anything, and I wouldn't be too shocked if a lawsuit happens in the future.

At least the scalpers won't be buying this, Just to jack up the price more.

It's not a console, it's a soap opera!

I used to think those toy consoles and computers made by the company Tomy were terrible but at least they actually existed. Tomy>Tommy

Intellivision has lost 11 investors and over $20,000 on their Republic page in the last 24 hours... things just get worse for Tommy.

Don't mind delays. It's the pretending to be further along than they actually are that annoys me.

In December I guarantee they ship out some sort of intellivision commemorative item to "select" preorder buyers.

The Amico doesn't need to release, because the Amico, in the end, was the friends we made along the way.

Guys, please move or reposition the Link mask, his dead eyes are staring deep into my soul 😆😋

Pat…he still hasn’t decided where he is going to build his “HyperScan Amico”…China-Mexico-USA-Canada? Like…when is he going to decide on that simple but major aspect of this whole endeavor?

Review Tech USA has been walking back on all this haha

Came to the conclusion that Tommy delayed the console a third time just to troll Pat and Ian.

Who else is excited for Tommy's inevitable phone call next week?

Third delay = Three Strikes and "YER OUT"

And the gift is....a bunch of MP3s. People speculating things like t-shirts didn't consider that even if they were unsellable crap merch, Tommy would still have to pay shipping. So of course he sent some files he had lying around. "Gee, where can I get a copy of the Advent Rising soundtrack?" asked no one ever. Check out G4's review of Advent Rising (when TT worked there) to hear Adam Sessler mock its score in particular (with a very sarcastic "Ooooooh!") and then outright say it was a piss-poor Halo ripoff (TT's musical score and the game). But watch all of Tommy's white knights pretend like this is the biggest reward ever (but what about the friends we made along the way?) and how the delay is totally worth it. Heck, I predict a few will pretend that if they NEVER get their pre-ordered Amico, their money will have been well spent just to get these MP3s.

I got the test results back-I'm legally deemed stupid. Two Amicos, please!

Fake Tommy should be Intellivision CEO.

Reading Atari Age forums is my new happy place.

There is more fun to be had by their reaction than the amico 😂😂😂😂😂😂

They dropped at midnight to give themselves 12hrs to prepare for the shitshorm.

7:19 was Ian imitating OEB Pete? 😂

Adios, Amico.

I'm shocked! Oh wait.. No I'm not...

In the words of Jon Taffer Shut It Down

22:03 Now THAT'S a reference. But now that he's said it, I kinda want a pop-o-matic bubble dead center in the Amico you can whack

@13:20 it's pretty weak to notice the kid has a shark jaw on his shirt and turned out talarico is trying to boot sharkshark. not a very imaginative guy. i bet he never reads past a headline either.

I hope no one else suggested this,but maybe the Amico should put out cards like the ex prez did to help their company out lol.They don't do anything but i bet a lot of these Amico fans would buy those(just like the ex prez fans).

There's only one industry titan that can save this console Soulja Boi

It's vaporware at this point. As much as I dog Polymega, I actually believe you've got a better chance of having it in your hands than an Amico.

Just makes me wonder after this damned thing dies who is going to be next to complete the trifecta of failed consoles…The Chameleon, Amico, then ______

That popular old Medieval game - Trebuchet Sniper.

When all of this is finally over, whatever the outcome may be...this has the potential to be the craziest/weirdest video game documentary ever, bar none ... Edit...really need a detailed "Doc Brown" chalkboard diagram of a timeline of events for the Amico...just so that myself & others can direct the average joe to it whenever someone asks about the Amico & I'm at a loss for words on where to even begin

This thing is so unfinished across the board. software, hardware, all unfinished.

So, what have they been doing since announcing this console?!

Back way way way, I was considering getting one, realizing that this was starting to fall apart I said nah. I’m happy with my Xbox/ ps and the retro games being spit out on the marketplace

“Land like a wet fucking fart” sooo good I really LOL

there is no shortage of parts, all the parts tommy needs to make this thing are there so he needs to just admit that the amico has issues he can't work out

... And it feels like the third time!

This was vaporware since day one. It’s never coming out.

This thing would have struggled if it came out in time, let alone after a third delay. This train wreck is fun watching in real time.

The person who speaks the truth is the most hated.......rip amico

I'll say 25 percent chance it comes out at all

The worst part of this, to me, is the info that Tommy had the opportunity to get the components to build the Amico, but cheaped out and now can’t get anything together. Terrible.

Sounds like Tommy needs the world famous hardware expertise of Mr Lee - electronics expert and anonymous caller.

How sad is it that you have provided truthful information on this topic to the public and the actual person responsible hasn't? Logic will win out every time.

First heard about the announcement via Nintendo Life. What a shock. But to their credit they also posted an update about Analogue restocks.

man 60 employees, think of the wage bill EVERY month! With zero income
