This has to be the worst marketing possible for this thing. I did find it funny where they said RAB should get a console if they can get 100 signatures. John Alvarado in the chat said make it 500. 🤣 What a kick to the nards to have the company you've looked like an idiot for to troll you like that. I actually enjoyed Pandsubs first Amico video. After that it was all down hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just excited to have a new Intellivision console. So I dont feel bad for wanting it or even “on the bandwagon” so to speak. After the second delay the true intentions really became evident. I was super excited for it. I think what people find annoying is the head in the sand behavior. That type of thing has been happening since the beginning though. There's, "Hey I like family gaming! I like Intv!" Then there's, "THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST CONSOLE EVER AND GET MY GRANDMA TO LOVE ME AGAIN AND PLAY GAMES WITHBME AND ITS GOING TO OUTSELL THE SWITCH BECAUSE NINTENDO IS EVIL AMD RUINED GAMING AND IT ISN'T SOMETHING TOMMY WOULD RISK HIS REPUTATION ON BECAUSE THE DESIGN OF METROID PRIME WAS BASED AROUND HIS BLEEPS AND BLOOPS AND I TOTALLY FIND HIM DREAMY SO DON'T YOU QUESTION HIM OR I WILL GO AFTER YOU LIKE A MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL GETTING MAD OVER ANOTHER GIRL FLIRTING WITH HER CRUSH! PLEASE LEAVE!" One of these I would consider normal. Edited July 17, 2023 by MrBeefy 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Playmobil might fit perfectly with a goofy stop-motion kind of look. I'm just spit balling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, you're a toddler by day, roaming about the house n' playground gathering resources to "prepare," and by night, you're a Toddler Nazi Werewolf Hunter who has to fend off the onslaught until your AM naptime. Toddler Nazi Werewolf Hunter = That's a Toddler who hunts Nazi Werewolves, by the way. Not a Werewolf Hunter who just happens to be a Toddler Nazi. That wouldn't be very family friendly, I don't think. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeefy Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Rerun type of day. DJC says he doesn't talk non-fam friendly on his channel. Didn't we just cover him talking about bars and using Amico to creep on chicks? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayler Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I'm thinking zombies. And a rail shooter. It's so generic and last century that it would be a great fit for the Amico. Plus the actual way you can plop the hair off a Playmobil figure to reveal a vacuous half-skull leans right into zombie-territory. And as the figure can pretty much only stand still with arms straight forward, well there's your awkward zombie-walk. But on second thought, this might be too much creativity for the Amico. Isn't there an existing flash game someone could just port over? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_B Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I'd reckon that, where Lego gets all the Hollywood blockbuster tie-ins, Playmobil could find a niche in Oscar-bait adaptations. It really wouldn't matter whether the resulting games were any good or not, because all the critics would still say that you need to play them at least once. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just fun, goofy little kid-style games that are great for the whole family, i.e. precisely the demographic TT was pretending to want.
