Intellivision Amico

[157]

Some boomers collected their money and are making a console. It's not aimed at the traditional video game market, but more so at families. It's big point of differentiation is that the controllers contain touch screens alongside their buttons. All of the games are supposed to be cheap ($2.99 - $9.99) and exclusive to the platform. The console itself is supposed to be relatively cheap, under $200, because it's not running the latest and greatest hardware. It also includes two controllers. Unlike other boomer revivals, there's no crowdfunding campaign and it's not a plug-in play retro box.

The release date is scheduled October 10, 2020.

Do you think this has the potential to be a good buy? I'm afraid it'll turn into an Ouya, as in it'll come out, not get much support and be forgotten quickly.

Price is now >$200. They've done over 10,000 units in preorders and only need ~200,000 sold in total to break even.

Not going to lie, the games look kind of shitty.

I'm kind of talking to myself and this point, but it's been delayed multiple times and they've run multiple crowdfunding campaigns. It sounds like the company will go under before releasing the console:
