@Atariboy I do get the impression they weren't going to do much with it and I know people wanted something that allowed physical media to be used. The Amico anyway was trying to be an evolution of that. In hindsight it would have been better to merge both ideas.
@The_Nintendo_Pedant I mean I'm the type of person who doesn't always like things the populous find fantastic. My opinions don't always align with consensus but I don't try to be contrarian to rub people the wrong way. 👍
@The_Nintendo_Pedant You weren't being really rude towards me compared to a few other people here but saying it's endearing to someone who doesn't think I'm sane at all is I admit a little patronising. Anyway, thanks for the clarification. It's difficult to tell with people here since the mob mentality is quite strong about that console.
@The_Nintendo_Pedant I was talking about the collection. The games are mixed in quality. The first two are supposed to be the best. I don't think the original two are that bad. Just to note though I shouldn't be treated differently for having interest in something you don't. 👍
@Quick_Man "and Pat and Ian... aren't snubbing him online too?"
No they're complaining about him almost every week for eight years because he disrespected them.
"Tommy's words are somehow epic cool and based while Pat and Ian's words are mean and harmful and unfair?"
Epic and cool? Did I say that or are you projecting your assumptions?
"and they've been the best at covering the trainwreck lmao. They haven't gotten anything substantial wrong"
We are indeed living in different realities if you think they didn't get anything wrong. This is one of the main problems I have with their audience. They DON'T RESEARCH around the podcast. They want to hate something and because the CUPodcast's feelings were hurt they made it their mission to create a mob mentality. They love the attention though, I've noticed. 😂
"but if you actually BELIEVE Alvarado with no proof or evidence to his claim that the tech would be "updated" [jesus christ], then this conversation is pointless."
Don't shoot the messenger, just stating what he said. 👍
@Quick_Man "Acting like the CUPodcast haven't been attacked by Tommy tenfold"
They weren't. Tallarico snubbed them online and they got angry and spent the next eight years complaining about him and the console almost every week on the podcast, to this day.
"[and that Pat and Ian aren't COMPLETELY CORRECT] is really, really funny."
They weren't completely correct. They got things wrong but the mob would like to believe they got everything correct due to their bias.
"And "confirmed to have improved tech"? Confirmed by literally WHO?"
I asked John Alvarado on a stream and he said the tech was going to be updated when the console was released. It is not fan fiction. There is no official confirmation yet however.
Regardless if the system is bought and taken apart to be shown it's outdated tech. The eventual console has been confirmed to have improved tech so right now the Amico sold is very much a prototype. I'm more interested in the new specs.
I find it ironic however @damo continues using the CUPodcast as a source for Amico news when they have not only attacked him numerous times on their podcast but used his work without permission? 🤔
@Daniel36 The complete opposite. The detractors very much want this looked at internally. I think it's pointless but...
@HammerGalladeBro For backgammon she sure is! 😂
@PinballBuzzbro The system does have games and have been shown to work.
@mjparker77 Anyone interested in the console was being called a 'cultist' so that's the age mentality of people obsessed with it I guess. 🤷♂️
Master System wasn't given much of a chance in Japan and the US. Coupled with Sega's poor communication between their regions it's understandable why the user base was small.
@PKDuckman Considering these collections are supposed to educate you can understand how damning and frustrating I find that. I have called them out on this a number of times.
@rob7979 I think all the old ports should be included regardless if they're good or not and yep I agree, the SMS ports are incredible. Not sure what the issue is with emulation on those.
@RejectedAng3L If they have the Mega Drive version I doubt getting the rights to the Saturn version would be an issue. If it's an emulation issue because they don't have an emulator companies like this shouldn't be re-releasing games if they aren't prepared to emulate the various ports. I know that sounds greedy of me to say that but only releasing ports for a collection because you have an emulator for it is very frustrating...hello Digital Eclipse! 😆
@RejectedAng3L It's a real shame as it's a great kart racing game. A collection of ports should really have every port if possible regardless if they're good or bad. The lack of Amiga ports in these collections is really starting to get on my nerves. 🙄
@Tasuki Ubisoft aren't really involved in publishing it.

@MontyMole Skill! Got it correct! 😆
Re: Pricing And Release Date Revealed For Full-Size Amiga Replica 'THE A1200'
The ability to load the library on will sell this.
@Null2 They don't own anything Amiga related, just C64. They are working on it though but there's a lot of entities involved.
@gingerbeardman Koch Media I think.
Re: "You Wouldn't See Street Fighter Or Tekken Putting This Garbage Out" - Mortal Kombat Art Book Accused Of Using AI Upscaling
@SlangWon Agreed! I tried it with screenshots from the TMNT show. The results were very impressive as long as it's one frame at a time.
Re: "You Wouldn't See Street Fighter Or Tekken Putting This Garbage Out" - Mortal Kombat Art Book Accused Of Using AI Upscaling
@N64-ROX Good point! Nothing wrong with AI upscaling as long as you're checking what it's doing. For an art book though this is unforgivable.
@The_Nintendo_Pedant Eternal Champions is completely underrated, it deserves more praise.

Re: "Not Interested In Selling It To Haters" - An Intellivision Amico Just Sold On eBay For Over $2,200
@mjparker77 No I really don't. I'm a bit more grown up not to see interest or disinterest in a games console as 'haters' or 'cultists'.
Re: "We Brought The Rivalry To An End" - Atari Reveals The Intellivision Sprint
@mjparker77 I mean they tried. To say they did nothing at all is wrong.

@mjparker77 It's not set in stone the console will be released but it's always been in their plans. 👍
Re: "We Brought The Rivalry To An End" - Atari Reveals The Intellivision Sprint
@mjparker77 The original owners wanted to do something more than just repackage the old games.

Re: "We Live In An Age Where Even Bubsy Can Make A Comeback" - Meet The Developers Trying To Resurrect The Barcode Battler
@Quick_Man Me having an interest in the Amico doesn't mean I live in an alternate reality. I just don't have a mob mentality. 😉
@The_Nintendo_Pedant I'm looking at Steam and it's mostly positive reviews. What are the criticisms of the collection?
Re: "We Live In An Age Where Even Bubsy Can Make A Comeback" - Meet The Developers Trying To Resurrect The Barcode Battler
@The_Nintendo_Pedant Poorly received? 🤔

Still waiting for them to add the home computer and Master System versions of games to these collections. These aren't really complete collections.
