Omg. I've watched the podcast forever and "Ian looks like a guy who eats a lot of spaghetti...do... do you eat a lot of spaghetti?" Is the greatest question ever asked
Once this Amico affair is over, the CUPodcast needs to compile all of Tommy's vmails into one long supercut. LMAO
You're speaking truth.
It won't be over until tommy comes back in 10 years with the Amico mini
i can barely even stand to listen to one
I hope so. Tommy's calls are my favorite part of this segment lol
And Tommy is going to blame everyone except for himself, else especially the popular video game CZcamsr's for it not selling well.
Spaghetti question guy is a hero.
Amazing lol
The Amico - "A console that can be switched on or off by the simple insertion or removal of a fuse."
The nervous hesitation when asks, "Do you... do you like spaghetti?" is perfect
Imagine if it actually was Tommy Talarico all along
AT Games or someone needs to just release a proper HD Intellivision mini with as many of the original games as possible, make it easily modded, sell it for $49.99 and be done with it.
Hitting Kohl’s center display shelves this holiday season for $50.00!
And they’ll be on “sale” for $25 lol
more like Marshalls
@@feIon Jesus if there’s a death-blow pic to send Tommy, that would be it..
Legit this!
@@feIon yeah or TJMax or Ross. Kohl's tends to over price their electronics and toys. I've seen Nerf Guns at Kohl's way over priced, about $10-20 USD compared to Target or Wal-Mart prices.
Every couple months Pat mentions braciole, and I am reminded, and frustrated by how bad the Italian restaurant options are here in Seattle...if I had the Necronomicon, I'd resurrect my grandmother, and my braciole problems would finally be over.
Can't wait to get my sEaLeD Amico graded by WATA
18:30 imagine Tommy gets a ride from WWF Attitude era Kane with that voicebox
Love when Ian gives Canada some love!
Love the show. Would be great if the callers volume matched the hosts. Thanks guys!
The Absurdly Uneccessary Tommy Tallarico podcast, WOOOOOOO!
I don't think I've ever done more than yell in anger when playing Cuphead.
As a teen I put enough quarters into a 1994 Data East - Tommy’s The Pinball Wizard cabinet I could have probably purchased one. I liked how during multi-ball blinders would cover the flippers.
In terms of raging, my brother punched a light switch, broke through the plastic and got an electric shock. Pretty funny.
I love that pinball museums are a thing and I'm going to do my best to see all of them in my lifetime
I haven’t thrown a controller since I was a kid. I will stop playing a game that gets beyond frustrating. I never finished The Evil Within because I had to go too far back to a previous save in order to proceed and I just didn’t want to deal the game’s bullshit.
Its worth what I would pay to put it on a shelf and look at it and never use it, so I would definitely say less than 50$ for an Amico.
why you'd want to display that thing in your house is beyond logic
@@feIon as a reminder of what crappy retro things that are available. Kind of like buying a poster for the artwork just as a conversation piece, nothing more
The fun is back
Oh yesiree
It's the Am-E-Co

Canada's wonderland. Cool it's like Hannah barbera's version of Disneyland. I saw the 1989 batmobile there. Still have the Polaroid
All Taft owned parks had Hannah Barbera lands till the mid-90s when Paramount took over ownership.
I solved my collecting by buying Everdrives (x3) on a black Friday sale where I actually had enough money saved up. But I definitely know that feeling of "wanting them all" and it is hard to fight, I still find myself looking at games online. If it wasn't for the fact that I remember a time when these games couldn't even be given away, I might have given in and spent many thousands on stuff.
Loved the roller coaster chat. Major enthusiast here and from Baltimore region. Been to pretty much every park you mentioned.
The amico had a chance at $150 or less. It could have been an impulse purchase. But at $250, the amico (if ever released) won't last longer than 6 months at best.
The original version of Worms, where you're in the scrapyard & never spot the mines because they blend in with the background.
I have snapped at the old COD 4 Veteran mode.
Unfortunately I was one of those collectors when I got my first post College job.
Worms on dreamcast online was my joint.. Also unreal
Strangely I just happened to watch this while eating spaghetti.
@9:37 Pat: "It was RANKED!"
This is a genuine line between playing for fun and playing to win for me lmfao.
Video games helped me notice and work on my anger issues. Sort of grateful I was able to productively identify that anger with something unimportant.
For all the features the Amico offers, I'd say perhaps $100-120 USD?
Discounted at Marshalls within 3 months of release 😂😂
The Amico kinda looks like one of those bubbling footpaths from Target.
Last rage experience was Smash Bros 3DS, and after that I try to keep compose when playing.
.
Key word being try.

12:44 The hard hitting questions are always the best kind.
Ian is not quitting the Podcast is he I know he left his video game store just a question he is very knowledgeable on old games hate to see him go thanks 🙏
Yea cedar point is amazing. Love the whole area there in the ironically terribly named sandusky Ohio
5:45 I had a history of collecting basketball cards and pogs, so recognizing that, I try to avoid "collecting" videogames/music/DVD's with that same mindset. As for those types of media, I make it a point to play/listen/watch them before considering offloading them
Just purchased the AudioTechnica USB Direct Drive (because I was sick of vintage belt replacement/repair) for about $250. The non-USB model apparently has slightly better sound, but it's closer to $500 and I'm fine with the USB one.
Worms Armageddon is the GOAT. Nothing more infuriating then pushing the wrong button and blowing yourself up
Does anyone remember Einhander? Old Square Shmup with some of the most awesome music, gameplay that seems to be unique to only that game game, pretty much all the enemies have German names (guessing it was developed by a German team), and my opinion best Shmup ever second to Ikaruga.
I have no idea how that game got published by Square or how it got developed, but I'm glad I still own my CD copy with CD art and all.
For a hot second, I confused Einhander for Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring, also published by Squaresoft
It seems to be a hidden gem. I didn't know about it until Gamesack covered it
Greatest question ever 😆 what made it great was as the questioned was being asked it made sense. Love it.
I'd love a Hercules table, but the ones that I know of were auctioned off a few years back.
Hi. hope it's ok to jump into comments and ask a separate question, because I know ppl here will have good answers -
I'm looking to buy one of the big brand mini arcades: Sega Astro City or Neo Geo Mini.
Being honest, a main motive is gimmick and display. I can play tons of retro games in other ways.
The Sega is clearly better build but quite a lot more expensive.
Will probably get both eventually, but likely to make this decision on basis of game line up.
I have a feeling that the Sega has more puzzlers and platformers, which interest me less.
I'm fine with shoot and beat em ups, the odd RPG and fighter (Im only a single player though, so not too many fighters really)
Sports and driving I really like.
Will also say the Neo Geos full Metal Slug range is very tempting.
Anyhow, which do you consider has the best games line up, either for you or in general? Really interested to know reasons too.
Thanks
I've got a Pioneer hi-fi stack, that I bought new in '89.
@AfterBurnett Maybe. It still works perfectly. I paid £500 for it.
@AfterBurnett Very nice. A friend of mine used to have a great collection of hi-fi separates, back in '89, some great stuff. But he got involved with heroin and it was all gone by '91.
"Sue me after the Amico comes out..." So I guess he's never getting sued.
Ohhh... What should be the fair cost of the Amico? *holds up a finger* ONE DOLLAR, BOB!
Who cares about intellivision enough to pay this?
Future Spa....man, the artwork on that pin was out there. Part porno sex club, part workout gym...I mean, Bally was on to something there.
Hey idk if this is the same for everyone but I cannot click the bell anymore because it says this content is for kids. Pat you may want to look into that.
Ian, no Boblo Island?! Before your time?
The Amico should be a generic small black box that fits into any living room. No physical media but it would have a USB port to sideload and save games. It should have a simple NES-like controller with 2 buttons. Maybe with an analogue stick instead of a D-Pad so it’s a little different. The Amico would have an app store to buy and download games and it would come with 5 good pack in games indie games. Imagine like an officially licensed Stardew Valley and GRIS preloaded. Release an official dev kit. Instead of nostalgia, market it towards indie games. The console you buy for a 12 year old that wants to get started with developing games. Charge $150.
So a raspberry pi?
@@northofnashira2575 It would be relatively open and easy to develop for like a Pi but the Pi doesn't come with some quality of life things out of the box like an app store. Stuff people that don't want to tinker and just want a cheap and easy gaming device for the living room.
@@juannunez5767 Sooooo... a raspberry pi with a thumb drive sold separately or in a bundle that has an autoinstaller. Or cut into your profit margin a bit and do the leg work in house and still make $100 per unit sold.
@@northofnashira2575 That would be like describing a Pi + a screen + a battery as a smartphone. Sure, technically the functionality is the same. You could browse the web and make a call if you try hard enough but you're ignoring the kind of polished product that people actually want to buy. Which is a huge deal. If you gave a Pi, a thumb drive, and a controller to the average person and told them to play a game they would look at you funny because it's not a consumer product.
@@juannunez5767 Thus the cut into the profit margin part of my last post. If you buy in bulk, get a cool case to put it in, and include controllers and connectors, then you basically have a product just as good, if not better than an Amico.
When people bought a good collection and realized the value, it doesnt suprise me that they did sell it. they might have thought about "stopping" and noticed that they would make a good profit while also quitting. If they would "lose money" they probably wouldnt sell it.
Legit I'd pay them to just not release it. Anyone buying the Amico is getting scammed. Tommy's just mad he couldn't get Pat to shill his shitty console.
I'd check local classifieds for old phono turntables.
The most I've ever raged was playing jump quests, specifically Maplestory.
Pat and Ian ranting about the amico is always fun time
Rollercoaster talk. Now we're talkin. I wonder if Ian ever goes to the parks in SoCal?
The Tommy thing is gettin super dry. If we could never hear from him again that would be great. Clown
I've have had this collector mindset with Nintendo Switch stuff lately since most of it is widely available.
fantasy island and 6 flags darien lake were my childhood sad to see fantasy land close we use to have our end of the year baseball party's their. ian did you ever go to African lion safari ?
Water works! Right behind the Aztec Motel at Seaside right? I never went but I always saw it. My family vaca'd there from the late 70s till when my uncle who used to pay for it all passed in the late 90s. Some of the best memories of my life there. PS Bring back Shoot the Geek!
Canadas wonderland name drop let’s gooo Ian !!!!!
More than a few n64 classics already been remastered for 3ds or wii-u’s, that as well i see far more likely than mini-64, as like controller argument let’s ask $80 for mario 64 remastered when game already 90% done just had touch up visuals and camera controls? Easy peazy compared to phsyical hardware and then make a killing
Same thing with “collectors” happens in mtg, alot of people bailed last year after canned pro league as for speculators market is dead for multiple game formats, black lotus(the big heavy hitter card), dropped -100% in value over last few months because of these sell offs
As a collecter I'm confused why collect, if you don't want to play and experience it?
Anxiety that it will break or die over time. That was my primary concern. I had some Mother soundtracks from Japan and didn’t want to use them cause my fear was that they’d scratch. Even if I was careful, they wouldn’t last as long as they could.
But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that I don’t want to be 65 and regret not enjoying my things. Even if they’re expensive, I enjoy them. Someday I won’t be able to, even if they’re in mint condition
Future Spa is an absolute beast of a game and so much fun! I wish I could get one, but the prices are way too high.
Pat has never been to Great Adventure?!?! If I could still ride rollercoasters, I would pay for his ticket next time he was in Jersey and go with him. Heck, I'd even buy Ian's ticket if he were there too. But unfortunately I can't ride anymore.
I probably still prefer Dorney Park though. Less crowded and a little cheaper too. Plus Dorney has the Enterprise ride which was great.
They were probably PLANNING on releasing an N64CE at some point, though. There was that patent leak for the controller and instruction manuals on the UK website. The controller patent might have been for the Switch controller that’s coming out, but both appeared pretty far back. Patents aren’t always used right away, but why put manuals up for games that won’t be available for a few years?
I mean it was almost certainly discussed or looked into. Problem is N64 emulation would have required more expensive hardware and Nintendo values N64 roms as higher value than SNES/NES. So, it would have ended up being like $100+ dollars and had like 10 games on it. I assume someone with some sense figured that probably wouldn't have gone over well.
@@devilmikey00 Would it, though? People emulate N64 on the Raspberry Pi, and those aren’t that expensive. The boards are like $40, and they could’ve gotten a deal with a bulk order. Maybe Nintendo values the games higher, but I don’t think it was a hardware issue.
Hahahaha I LAUGHED OUT LOUD at the fuck Undertale comment🤣
That's why I only collect the ones I like. I'll never complete a collection - but I will buy games I want but know I'll probably never play... XD
Spaghetti w chili neon cheese and onions.
I love Undertale for how much it upsets certain people
9:55 Ba dum tish
for free with a box of lucky charms.
8:23 - For the longest time, I kept my PSP around because pretty much all my PSP games but one was playable on my PlayStation TV. The one game that wasn't "compatible" with my PlayStation TV was Dracula X Chronicles (DXC).
So, the last time my PSP functioned, I was doing a Maria run in the DXC version of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (SotN) on my PSP. There's this really annoying bug with the DXC version of SotN that causes Maria to randomly take damage in the inverted caverns. As I was playing, Maria was really low on health, and she was running through the inverted caverns when the bug triggered, causing Maria to take enough damage to kill her.
No longer wanting to play this version of the game and realizing that I no longer had a reason to keep my PSP around, I stood up, spiked my PSP on the floor, grabbed a nearby hammer, busted my PSP into pieces, and threw the PSP in the garbage.
Doesn't it come with 6 games?
I have this nasty habit of raging so hard, I break actual consoles :(
Good thing I pre-ordered a replacement SNES clear shell from Retro Game Restore
The Amico clearly is worth 250 bucks.
Definitely.
Totally.
Completely.
Technics turntables if you have the cash
$100 and it’d be maybe kind of neat to have
I wish I could call in!
I don't know. How much does shit cost?
10:20 your welcome 😎
You're, kid, you're
@@jbfarley ohhhhh u got me 😂😂 NERDDDDDDDDDDD
@@megadan2988 so you don't mind looking like a moron?
We got to shut it down
I have an Onkyo turntable!
Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio
Akane on switch is crack yet frustrating where you wanna go one more. Til im eventually like man fuck this game or im just defeated and have to break. So fun tho
It's not a part of Nintendo's business to sell trinkets? If you had kids you would realize they sell a bunch of trinket crap and are very much in that business. I actually think they are currently selling a nes classic type device but with just Super Mario and Zelda on it, I think it looks like an old game&watch.
They don't produce the "trinkets" directly - they license out their IPs to other companies to produce that junk.
Pat will you be talking about James Rolfe's cinemassacre plagiarism scandal in a episode? seems pretty big news at the moment
$666.66
it's so childish to flip your bed when something goed wrong on your gameconsole. grow up people, you dont need to rage over a videogame as a grownup (even as a kid i thought it was stupid but okay... i understand when kids have this reaction nowadays)
Amico will sell for $25 dollars two weeks after launch
Scam everyone.
Amic should have been a plug and play without these expensive lights on it and lcd screens - should have been plug and play AND supported online for 150 dollar and "maybe" it could have been an okay online console to bring with you to a friends house etc.
The current $250 price makes me believe the company thinks they should take a decent profit from console sales. The reality is many consoles sell at a loss. The price runs counterproductive to the goal of putting lots of consoles into peoples homes, that would encourage more devs to make games for it and they should profit more from the games and accessories.
Pat. Love ya, but you are such a straight laced dork sometimes. Ian rocks. Take care guys.
🤡
still waiting for more than a teaser trailer for their console selling game aka earthworm jim
GASP.......AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAAA
Getting really hard for you guys to fake those laughs at the tommy caller
“Getting into vinyl”
There’s your first mistake, calling it vinyl. Just stick to digital kid if it’s that hard to figure out the hobby isn’t for you. Start cheap with an audio technica or even some really cheap fun options just have fun
Nobody wants your gatekeeping pedantry.
Ok boomer
@@Crlarl I payed $30 for my first turntable and it had a ceramic cartridge. But there are so many resources and ways to learn about audio equipment to think he can just ask and get told a list of things to buy is silly and it shows a lack of actual enthusiasm in the hobby. If you can’t figure it out on your own find something else or collect CDs cuz I’m sure some audiophile convinced them records are better. I love my records but they are inconvenient
@@johnjohn2570 I’m 21
i've noticed that pat calls it "game collecting" but were he a true collectionist he would call himself an "amusement software enthusiast"
