Incredible video from Crayola! More Awards & Lauch Update!
Hi Everyone!
Please check out the most important Intellivision Amico video that we've done so far! You've heard us talk about the impact that Amico will have on families. You've heard us talk about bringing people together no matter what your gaming skill level is. But now it is time to SHOW you. We hope you enjoy this video from the event we did at the Crayola Experience last month. Please leave your thoughts and comments below or on the video itself.

Before and after the public event, we also had a few private events for local Youtubers and influencers. Here are just one of the many groups of folks that are hardcore gamers and absolutely LOVED Amico after playing tons of games for multiple hours! Can Amico also cross-over into the hardcore gamer realm as well? Let's see what they think!

Here's a video from a hardcore gamer who saw and played Amico and ended up investing $10,000 through Republic and letting his 16,000+ YouTube subscribers know why...

Here is the live stream from the Amico After Dark weekly show on YouTube where 10 people and their friends & family played Amico for hours and hours over the course of 2 days. And as much as they were hoping it would be great... their expectations were more than exceeded and they were absolutely blown away! [Caution: some adult language is used in various parts of this video.]

While on our Crayola trip, we set up an Amico for families at a local restaurant in PA. Here is how a group of kids reacted when playing Amico for the first time. We see this same reaction over and over. I can't wait for everyone to get their chance to play as well!

For all of the incredible progress, accolades and enjoyment that people are having playing Amico, we also want to share some of the harsh realities we are dealing with in regards to getting Amico into as many hands as possible. Here is the latest update status regarding our launch that we put out over the weekend.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Intellivision Pre-Order Update
The team at Intellivision has been working tirelessly to bring Amico – our family-focused entertainment system – to eager households around the world. We’ve grown to a strong and stable company of more than 60 passionate team members spanning three continents, representing some of the industry’s best talent. All of us are extremely excited to share Amico with you.
We originally planned to launch Amico in the Fall of 2020 but had to adapt during the midst of the global pandemic disrupting our production. Despite our best efforts, and now facing new unprecedented international component supply and logistics challenges beyond our control, we want to apologize as we are forced to push our desired launch date yet again.
In spite of these supply hurdles hampering our ability to fill all orders, we are focused and determined to deliver pre-ordered units by the end of the year. This will also allow us more time to optimize our operating system for future game development. We want to ensure that those who have anticipated the Amico for so long, get a chance to enjoy it as soon as possible. Of course, we will keep all of our customers and interested parties informed and updated on our continued progress.
Everyone at Intellivision wants to thank you, our dedicated fans and loyal followers for your enthusiasm and incredible unwavering support for Amico. As a special thank you to everyone who has pre-ordered an Amico, we will be sending out a very special thank you gift to you via e-mail next week.
We cannot wait to share with you what we’ve built - and assure you the wait will be worth it.
The Intellivision Team

Thank you all so much for your continued support in the Intellivision Amico project! Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I can't wait for everyone to play Amico and for us to get as many Amico's out in the world as possible!
