will be an Amico exclusive and also found out they are remaking Imagic's Beauty & The Beast for the Amico
they will be at the upcoming E3 so it will be interesting to see how far they have progressed with this but i haven't been

Does this have a cartridge slot, or is it all digital?

All games $2.99 to $9.99. Download only for that price.
There will be physical special edition prints (*SD card) for a premium ($30) on a game-by-game basis.

Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I like the idea of the intellivision receiving more exposure and getting a nice overhaul.

On the other hand, where micro consoles (aka Mini Consoles) tend to do well on their own, not being self-contained and having downloadable games would be a turn off for me, as one cannot guarantee how long the online support would last, or if any community support would occur after the fact.

While I like having a new Earthworm Jim game, being exclusive to a system that may or may not sell well is not something I think works in the modern market.

And then we have the specter of the Coleco Chameleon to remind us of what also can go wrong...

Please bear in mind I would love for this to take off and do well; will have to wait for E3 to see if this is worth the time to investigate...

What I really like is there is zero crowd funding..they must have some pretty big backers because this is going to cost 10's of millions

I would buy this if the physical media was readily available. $30 is pushing it, but if the games are high quality (like Earthworm Jim) it might be worth it.

As a download only system the Amico would basically just be a next-gen Ouya. Who in the hell wants that?

Very good question...

“Beauty & The Beast” might not be the absolute last game I could imagine being remade, but it’s gotta be up there. I suppose Dracula 2020 is next up.

some new info about physical media for the Intellivision Amico

"8 hours ago, Tommy Tallarico said:
YES! I can confirm that we will have physical media! I just can't comment on the "type" right now as we are still in the patent process. Trust me... it's SUPER COOL!!

Although we won't be putting a cartridge slot on the new machine (I could and would if it was super cheap... but it's actually quite expensive) but if a 3rd party person wants to do a cart slot as an "add-on" that hooks up USB... I think that would be super cool and we would totally support it if it passes our quality control, licensing, etc.



But if you love carts... we have a nice surprise coming next year when we make some announcements."
