    Up to 4 in co-op!

    1 driving, 1 shooting up, 1 shooting forward, 1 jumping.

     

    :)

     

    Versus is still my favorite though!

     

    Everyone takes a turn to control the vehicle to see who gets the farthests... while everyone else are the enemy ships trying to stop you!

     

    Great yet simple fun!

     

     

    That sound so fun !!! I love it 😀.....How will the local high score board work for that game mode ? Room for 2-4 names depending how many players are playing ? 
     

    And how will the high scores work in versus mode ?

    We have some super cool stuff going on with PONG (when you play "original" mode).  Super cool.  Haven't showed it yet... but techies will appreciate it I believe.  :)

     

     

    I absolutely LOVE Pong !!!! It’s one of the most simple but fun games ever made and what a classic to be reimagined !!! Simple and pure gameplay and one of my earliest gaming memories !! Super excited for that one 😃

    Congrats on the pre order so far!

     

    Any trends on color choice?

     

    You mentioned new merchandise will be hitting the store soon; any ETA?

     

    In the end, not only did my wife buy into Amico, she literally bought it for us while I was at work.  Love it when a plan comes together.

     

    Congrats again

    You reminded me that I miss the “A” team ! 😂

    I was reading through the comments on the madlittlepixel video and it’s amazing how many people are saying these are “mobile game” quality. What does that even mean ? It’s become a catch phrase and nothing else. I understand people watching the video and making snap judgements as we all do sometimes,  but as a fan who understands and appreciates all of the features this console will offer to families and friends who love to play together and compete , play coop and have fun with simple games that I personally will want to play for many hours (as opposed to mobile games that are mostly solo play , no high scores , no coop , no local high scores , in app purchases to essentially buy high scores and grab our cash etc ...are of no interest to me). I could have the same game on mobile , give it the Amico treatment for coop, VS, high scores etc and it’s like NIGHT and DAY even if it’s essentially the same game . For example the SideSwipoers game shown recently is a game I will likely play for many hours with my family and friends but if I play the same game on my phone, I would likely play for 10 minutes and be done. Without multiplayer , coop , vs and local high scores I lose interest fast and I’m sure I’m not the only one. But I understand that some don’t care or don’t see this as a difference. I am guessing  that most people commenting on these YouTube channels are either huge fans of the console that will buy console no matter what , or people that mostly play alone or online and that leads to the “this is a mobile game “ comment and these people are not interested in the Amico . It’s really all of the casual gamers in between these two categories that are the big target of the Amico. That’s where the marketing dollars will go.  But those of us who do understand and appreciate the type of gameplay offered on the Amico will LOVE it !!  Whew !!! 😂

    I’m thinking if getting another console and keeping my FE closed. I’m wondering how much the extra controllers will cost. I’m not looking for an exact price but more like $30 ? $50 ? Tommy ? I’m buying extra controllers anyway so I may just get an extra system or 2 and use those controllers. Any estimate for the controller price ? 2 pack ?

    I wish I could have put it as good as you.

     

    I saw his video and respect his honest opinion but I didn't comment on his video. 

    Thanks. It’s super late so I had to edit a few spelling mistakes and add a few words here and there. I’m glad the point came across. You can’t see the goal of the system just by watching the game demo videos. It’s so much more than that. It’s the sum of all of the parts that will make it so special. 😀

    I just saw the madlittlepixel video on YouTube and I must say, he expressed his opinion in an intelligent way. I answered in his comment section that it’s probably  hard to get excited for this system now if you were not a gamer in the time of Intellivision. Even when the marketing starts, if you are a gamer who plays mostly solo or online, you probably won’t be excited. This system is about family / friends playing Simple games together. High scores / coop / multiplayer etc having simple fun. It’s hard for the average person  to see all the system offers and it’s many features and nuances that we learn about everyday as fans. Everyone will choose for themselves and he did this in a respectful way. But one thing is for sure , the gameplay offered on the Amico has nothing do do with mobile apps or any other system out there at the moment. I have a switch and a PS4 and love to explore all of the systems out there but more and more I want simple games I can pick up and play with friends and family Together. Hardcore gamers,  casual gamers and even non gamers or beginners  having fun Together ! I am most excited about the Amico because  the focus is that and ONLY that.

    It would be awesome If I could I could sign up for a subscription and have one of each game shipped to me. This would include all Physical copies of games released even if there are 2-3 or more variants of some games. I would like to own the entire collection of games for the Amico for my collection and to support the company ! I will hunt them all down anyway !!! I’m very aggressive and persistent when I want something. This would be the first time I collect all games for a console. This should tell you how into this I am Tommy ! 😀😀
