roots.genoa Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 So true. Right now on Switch I'm playing a game in which young women (whose clothes don't cover them entirely ?) fight for a ball to play with (no hands! ?) and then score. I'd rather not know what the 'F's in FIFA mean. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they for sure had plans (not saying they were realistic but I’m sure they TT and others thought they were viable). I think that TT had a very hard time staying focused on them, hence the micromanagement and feature creep. On here s few times myself and others urged him to step away from the public side because his ego was affecting the project. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the fine print does say: "We do not have long-term committed agreements with our suppliers and have not arranged for alternate suppliers." - which shows a serious lack of planning... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they should capitalize on the intellivision brand and us old farts. That was obvious anyway.. A legacy of firsts. Was very early on. Maybe the first thing they put out even. Then Night Stalker and other classics were to be re-imagined. A downer for some of us was the plan to hold back classic intellivision games for at least a year after launch. I am much less worried about that now, I have the Ultimate Intellivision Flashback. So, nice video out and a few sets of AtGames controllers. With the hope of 4 new...2 left / 2 right controllers in development now. Please note, I have not read this document, just talking about the snippet. PS Also no cart port seemed to be a sticking point for many. I don't think I felt that strong about it either way. Plus, I think it would not support some of the new homebrew tech. etc. I am sure I was a little disappointed at first. But I am now a digital collector, less space and $$ required. Anyone need some Mint Colecovision carts? LOL. Edited August 4, 2022 by 1980gamer Added PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in “we” were not the karen soccer moms with little kids that all the shovelware mobile ports like care bears and sesame street. But yes, its very obvious the 45-55 year old retro crowd was needed for these early preorders and hype. Yep. “Target buyer Mom 30-50”.

mr_me Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) That leaves out teenagers (even pre-teens) and young adults, for example. They said they wouldn't do well in those demographics. Edited August 4, 2022 by mr_me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I think they should focus on their first demographic: People who like getting actual products for their money. They've been focusing on the other half of that demographic for too long. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
