Candid Interview with Intellivision Entertainment's Tommy Tallarico About Amico

Since the announcement of the @Intellivision Amico, I have been very curious about the system. Having seen and heard later updates, I'm more on the fence than ever. While I am a HUGE Earthworm Jim Fan, is there much on the Amico beyond that for someone like me? Well, Intellivision Entertainment President Tommy Tallarico is going to answer my questions LIVE next Wednesday, February 24th at 8PM Central, 6PM Pacific. If you have questions you'd like answered, please email them to [email protected] and we'll get to as many as we can!

In this episode, we are live with Intellivision entertainment CEO Tommy Tallarico to ask some rather in-depth questions about the up-coming Intellivision Amico.

In Fall of 2018, Tommy Tallarico , long time member of the video game community, announced that he not only had acquired the rights to the Intellivision branding, but that they were bringing out a new console. Designed around family friendly games, No loot boxes, and couch co-op the Miko raised many eyebrows.

Taking inspiration from its 1970s cousin, the Amico appears to be designed with a digital library in mind. There are no cartridge slots, instead the system appears to use RFID to load content. Speaking of content, Tommy and his team have committed to having games priced affordably, between $2 and $10. there will not be any loot boxes, in game purchase, or any such thing that has hurt The Gaming community in recent years.

Since the announcement, Tommy has been a bit of a lightning rod. He's had verbal spars with Pat the NES Punk and Ian from the CU Podcast, and other commenters and YouTubers have questioned whether or not Tommy and his team can deliver on their promises.

There are many questions that I have about the Amico, which I hope to have resolved in our conversation here tonight. I have not yet ordered and Amico, and I don't know that I will. But I want to give Tommy the opportunity to address and answer questions that I have in a fair manner.
