To be fair to him, some people have issues processing contextual clues in interviews. Perhaps written in plain language he can comprehend it better. But you were 100% correct in not granting him any of your time outside this forum. Also, even for Vara it took you six or seven attempts to get her to understand why mature rated games are not for this platform and why it isn't censorship. I believe she still came away with the idea you are censoring developers. Some people just have trouble with stuff they believe they are right about no matter what and won't listen to spoken word. Edit: I feel bad for saying "to be fair to him..." but I mean to be fair to people LIKE him... I guess.

He was invited to get put in his place. But if he actually "talks" at all, that would be incredibly civil. I'm already laughing.

Really a scary thing. That's crazy to hear but I already suspected you could not fully trust the government to tell the truth about the numbers or the catastrophic meltdown that could be happening. It's also showing the danger of over reliance on China. One natural disaster or catastrophe like this can shut down the world if it hits China in the worst ways like this.

It's already affecting Nintendo Switch production.

Okay, wow. I was not expecting this.

Lithium-ion batteries last many years if they are properly stored. Usually, a Lithium-ion battery does fine near full charge or down to 50% charge if stored long term. NEVER discharge a lithium ion battery completely. It is incredibly bad for the battery and can kill it completely. In laymen's terms, Li-ion depends on charge moving back and forth in the battery. With no charge, the ions can freeze and never be restarted moving again. The Amico controllers will last you 4, 5, or 6 years if they are standard li-ions. Everything on the Amico is probably going to be standard parts. I have PlayStation 3 controllers that are still fine because I have used them frequently. If they are standard li-ions in the 2200-4400mah range we're talking 5-6 hours with screen brightness on full and I'm sure the controllers will charge at the same rate if the console is turned on or in standby. And finally I am assuming (if standard battery in the 2000-4000mah range) it'll take a few hours to fully charge them on the system or plugged in.

TonyTGD has agreed to make an account on here and post his grievances with Tommy and the Amico Youtube. Hopefully Tommy can lay his issues to rest personally. This should be good... 🤡🤡

In the 80s there were no "shoulder buttons" yet. Now that we have a more modern control scheme, shoulder buttons are almost a necessity, keeping the buttons so close together just to hearken back to the original didn't make a lot of sense. With the actual recessed shoulder buttons the Amico has a lot more of a foundation for standard control schemes in games. Edit: also forgot, some ports like Castle Crashers and other Amico appropriate games will benefit a lot from a more standard scheme (no triggers but shoulder buttons will be great).

Where the heck do these people come up with this stuff? And why do they all always say the exact same things. Down to the letter sometimes. People love the idea of something failing. Why is that all they talk about? Failure? Is that all their lives are about? I just can't imagine doing that. Going around to random products and typing up paragraphs about how it will fail spectacularly. Is this like a failure fetish I don't know about? The perfect solution is for Google to buy them and make Stadia 2.0? Just what the heck is he going on about... What? Do these people just like to type a lot?

I believe Mr. Rivers is doing the best he can with the keyboard in front of him.

Luposian is doing the typical doomsaying but he's dressing it up with a more "concerned" or attempted logical reasoning. He's just saying "This won't last and can't be funded because money." They all say the same things, and always say the same things, but phrase it like they are the first person to come up with this or that they have come up with the perfect "gotcha" comment. All jokes aside, his comment boils down to this: "BUT how will you support it without having infinite money forever...? In 3-5 years you'll be broke and say thanks everyone, bye!" Tommy should address him but it's kind of pointless to say anything to that. If it sells well and the games sell well, it supports itself. If they don't, then that's that. He says "this doesn't make business sense", but what he posted IS business. You make a product, hope it sells, and continue to support it while it does... Could be 6 months, could be 1 year, could be 5 years. Ultimately I just see his comment as pointless.

LePionieer is on the right track. Astrosmash feels unfinished so I am not judging. The asteroids and tanks do not have the same cohesive style and the tanks seem like placeholders.

You probably cannot use that song.

The FE selling out so quickly beat all my expectations. I had it pegged at a few days. With some marketing and more buzz I am sure Tommy is right that they could have sold 10,000 or more in a week or two.

Oh I am sure it'll have awesome full packaging just like a regular game system. Hopefully it pays homage to this

Definitely liking some of the creepy vibes. I like the mad AI/killer robots and creepy spider (slenderman vibes a bit). Maybe in the final version that creepiness and craziness can be dialed up a bit. Love that they went with flat out Robbie because that's what the original grey ones looked a lot like. Really great video showcasing what the Amico is all about. Well done.

If that would be the case it means that Tommy actually reached out to them and they told him that they were not going to sign an NDA, which Tommy never stated himself. It would make more sense to hear it from Tommy saying that Pat and Ian denied talking to him due to that fact I guess. I agree though - of course they would need to sign one. But they never came out and said that the NDA was the reason either did they? They just made it seem like they had no interest to talk at all.

Thank you for the clarification, you are not stirring things up. Discussion on both sides is good and to be totally honest, Jberel and other folks were very critical but very fair and non-judgmental, just too overbearing about their thoughts. Not everyone wants to spend all their time thinking negatively of something, I myself am just here hoping this works out fine and want it to succeed. Regarding the Chameleon, it is better to hope for something good than be so skeptical due to the past you automatically say no one deserves anything... and then continue fighting to try to convince others of that same viewpoint. Amico for what it's worth has nothing in common with Chameleon or Gameband or any of that nonsense. And these people know that, surely. Tommy needs to see both sides of the coin because it will better equip him for when his device actually launches. By trying to shout him down or mock his concepts (or the design of the console) you are not really doing anything at all. It's better to simply challenge him and ask him questions than insult him, make accusations, or worse, become paranoid. Tommy if you are reading this you can also squash this rumor now - there is word circulating Pat and Ian won't talk to you because you tried to make them sign an NDA.

I thought the same thing too. But Tommy has pushed it back to Monday video/Tuesday pre-order.

As someone who just learned about the Amico last month and has been following it pretty closely, this thread has been really civil. Even the people who were arguing about the FE or were critical about the FE were pretty tame and civil in their discussion. I feel like all sides were able to get their opinions out. All of that subsided and the thread has been quiet (what I would call a normal discussion thread) since. I don't know why someone came in threatening to lock the thread. Nothing's even been happening. It must be some other thread that's complaining because people can't tolerate when they don't have power or perceive someone else has power. Edit: Just saw the Taco VCS stuff. What we're seeing is just people who are bored with nothing to discuss venting their random thoughts. But don't allow it to bleed into this thread. They have their containment thread and anyone can be critical, it's easy. They're allowed to be critical. But I think it was totally inappropriate of CPUWIZ to bring it in at all. If he hadn't, I wouldn't even know or care about that. Don't let their stuff taint this thread. Also: Since that thread is monitoring this thread, I am not part of a "cult." You can go back through my post history now and see where I first came in and analyzed the absolute hate on this console all over the internet. Everyone repeats and says the same things. So when you come into this thread and raise the SAME criticisms, what do you think you're effectively doing? If this entire thread fills up with counter-arguments and criticisms, there is no discussion. Furthermore, it has to be honest criticism. Not just saying this thread is a cult. You're just saying "I'm being critical because being critical means I'm an informed and smart consumer! No one's gonna' pull one over on me!" That's fine - but just know that it doesn't' really matter at this juncture. Your thoughts are duly noted and have been noted this entire time. Repeating them every time Tommy posts isn't doing anything at all.

Tommy - what do you think about this ??

Thanks for the update. I don't think many of us are taking the posts as absolute promises, at least until it gets close to October haha

I believe if Amico can beat Gamewave we have a victory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Wave_Family_Entertainment_System

25,000 units sold is a lot better than 100,000 units in the warehouse and in the channel. But yeah... 500,000 is unfortunately out of the realm of reality.
