    It looks like they did indeed send this out as an e-mail as I was in the process of posting this video. Also, is it just me, or does AE posting this update on holiday weekend come across as a way to bury their own news?

    I think you’re right; they will declare bankruptcy at some point. They should at least get rid of the total nonsense on their website about there ever being a physical console, because there won’t ever be one.

    I never invested in the Amico anyway. Nor did I get into the VCS due to drama before people actually experienced the thing. The only 3rd party system I got into during the past few years after past bad experience is the Evercade, which turned out pretty good despite some questionable collections.

    Not much to look forward if you use the download code, to play the pack-in games; zero excitement when/ IF unboxing the Amico console, sometime in the future, now what to play, hmm.. already already played the pack in games. Normally, for myself the biggest highlight of any new console, is playing the NEW games, on the NEW console.

      @SomeOrangeCat Před 7 dny +1

      Given how they've actually scaled back their operations even further, and John being forced to take on more responsibilities(like handling the refund requests himself), I wouldn't be surprise if Atari got it for next to nothing. A good chunk of whatever they go paid immediately went toward settling that furniture rental lawsuit. They also have huge amounts of debt that are going to mature near the end of the year.

    Good video! I noticed on one of the Amico Facebook groups, that someone asked where are the refunds for people that ordered the Founder's Day Edition of the Amico! I liked that person's question on Facebook. I got a reply from Amico telling me to send them an email! Because, I did order one of the Founder's Day Edition of the Amico. I did email them back, I have not heard anything yet! Not sure I will! Just wanted to pass this along!

    Atari can't even manufacture any new Atari 2600+ controllers that are the same as the ones that the VCS from the 80s used, the replacement 26000+ Joystick Controllers still list as Pre Order on Atari's Webpage for the 2600+.

    Amico can't use the "Running Man", but can they use the "Rebel Man"? He he ha ha, this is fitting for the "Amico" brand right now.
    I personally would've went with "Blue Sky Rangers Amico", but if Atari does develop "Intellivision games" on Amico, then Intellivison fans will still be happy with Amico being a "modern Intellivision console".
    Casuals, the target market, will be mostly indifferent between "Intellivision", "Amico", or "BSR".
