@alexybubble There is no Earthworm Jim game. There was never going to be an Earthworm Jim game. You had a few seconds of animation and a ton of hot air from Tommy. But nobody ever even started work on it. People aren’t calling the Amico a scam because it failed. They are calling it a scam because it was a scam.

Was that wrong? Should I have not put acid in the office coffee pot?

@AtlanteanMan have you thought that maybe it’s not meant to be practical?

@sikthvash it’s meant to be a collectors piece, not an everyday game playing machine.

NL: This is terrible, nobody should by it
Also NL: Sold out and scalping for big bucks.

I don’t think you get the points. These aren’t meant to be everyday carry machines. They are meant to be tiny and look adorable on the shelf.

NintendoLife editors: maybe just me, but I love seeing an article every one and then that isn’t strictly Nintendo rated. Keep up the good work.

Anyone know how this gets around needing the BIOS files? Do they have official licenses?

If people want to buy these things, good for them for providing the product. But I'm completely baffled why somebody would want a $190 that plays genesis carts when you can just buy a genesis for 1/5 the price? And if the answer is "it has HDMI out", well, doesn't that invalidate the whole 100% authentic thing? Not trying to argue against anyone who wants one.... just saying I don't get it.

If and when they have production units to look at, I'll care. But given the past history of such projects, no interest in a pre-order thingy.
