Intellivision Entertainment during a presentation attended by DualShockers at Portland Retro Gaming Expo revealed its new console will be called the Intellivision Amico and release on October 10, 2020. It will be priced between $149 and $179.
The word Amico means friend in Italian as the console will be family friendly. It will only own 2D games with a rating of E10+ or lower and with a price from $2.99 to $7.99 per game. It will features an in-house chip that will help push 2D graphics to the their limits.
The games will be exclusive to the console, while Intellivision-developed games will mainly be remakes of older titles. Titles that were mentioned included Moon Control, Burgertime, Lode Runner, ToeJam and Earl, Spelunker, and Pong.

This is a console by Tommy Tallarico. He believes that there are games for people who don't want overly complex controls in their game. Going back to the old days where games were for literally EVERYONE. Game you can play with your entire family. Your dad, mom...hell even grandparents. Basic games everyone can hang out together with and enjoy.
I think this could fly if handled right.
As much as I liked the Intellivision, this remake looks a little too expensive for its HW features, they should have priced it lower, like Ninty did with recent remakes of its classic HW.
This will never launch.
Thats a name i havnt heard in a long time.
Well, I'm intrigued!
Is this a joke? Why announce it so early? Why announce it at all? Will VGC cover its sales?
If it can get Contra from NES and other games that should have been on Virtual Console but weren't, then I there could be a market for it imo. There are so many great games from the past that can only be played with an emulator or a rickety old console.
