What? Is this just like the Nintendo Mini, Sega Mini, etc? Or a new system from Intellivision?

Edit: Seems they are banking on their new-fangle controller gimmick and reboot of some titles are going to make this a great system... videos on YouTube are super fluffed out, just music videos basically... I'm very skeptical this will make any big sales... poor guy is trying to promote this system way too much...

However, if they remake AD&D, that might be something I'd be very interested in.

Just thought I post this deal for those that may have never heard about it. It will be in Walmart, Gamestop etc for those who want to try it out. It's not a retro console. All new games will be released on it. A new AD&D is shown off in one of the sizzle trailers. It's going to be a co-op focused console meant for casuals who want to play together with their family.

This is a pretty good deal with the $25 gift card. There will be shortages on available consoles even the xbox and ps5. Anyone interested might want to get on this deal. But I understand only a few have heard about it. Real marketing starts closer to launch.

Yup, meant to be casual friendly and less intimidating for the general customer.

I'm still waiting on the new Atari console... For the last 3 years. And, in so glad the video tells us exactly nothing about the console. No tech specs... They're basically selling 2 gimped Android phones with a wireless charger

Amico had a clearer vision than atari. Atari is suppose to be another steam machine attempt.. but with better pricing scheme.

Amico does have atari games reimagined. Atari owed them a big favor for which im wondering about. I like amico but only at most $150. Not more. Its suppose to only have games $10 and under and no inapp.

Its really too bad that they have to start it at such a high price. Good on them for actually trying.

It won't be a powerhouse by any means. It's not trying to be a hardcore gaming machine competing with Nintendo or anything. There won't be any 3D worlds. All simple 2D,2.5D easy to pickup stuff that can be played with other people.

Price seems steep for games that look like they belong on IOS or Android device - I get the concept they are going for, but see they'll be challenged with the launch of the new xbox and playstation. It will really take some good titles to pull that price tag with the promise/vision of more. They would probably sell more if it was available today as people look to keep entertained while on lockdown.

3-4 months after launch this will be sub 200 bucks, probably pushing 129 or 99 by 6 months. Initial demand will die off quickly, IMO.

Oh, I get it, so the controller used to look like a phone so now it looks like a smartphone.

That is a pretty funny, but this should be an april fools cause that thing looks f'd up.

This sale ends around Friday. I forgot to mention that it only requires $100 deposit to reserve, refundable anytime. Given the nature of how worldwide production is being flipped on its head if you're even remotely interested in getting a Amico early this would be your best chance.
