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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

The Amico drama is probably more entertaining than the console itself

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

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

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

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

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.

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

HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

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.

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!

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

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

Time to start the Amico death watch

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

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

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."

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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...

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

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

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 😂

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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.

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 😂

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

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

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

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

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

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

7:19 was Ian imitating OEB Pete? 😂

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

Third delay = Three Strikes and "YER OUT"

In the words of Jon Taffer Shut It Down

Reading Atari Age forums is my new happy place.

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

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 ______

Fake Tommy should be Intellivision CEO.

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

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

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

Adios, Amico.

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.

So many kids going to be disappointed Santa won't have an Amico under the tree. 🤣

What happened to Atari Age? The forum that tore the Chameleon a new asshole and exposed Mike Kennedy's bullshit at every turn? Now they're cheerleading for the company making all the bad calls?

That popular old Medieval game - Trebuchet Sniper.

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.

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

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).

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

... And it feels like the third time!

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

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

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.

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

Somebody is going to end up with a pin-striped suntan over this debacle.

why does it look lik someone dropped a couple of iPods in one of those foot washers things?

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

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