Are new systems that are retrocentric and only for titles in that spirit viable, ala the Coleco Chameleon? Will you be buying Tommy Talerico's Intellivison Amico?

Yeah not the Amico. It doesn't need hardware comparable to the current gen and from all we know it's going to be a high quality design built from the ground up to be the ultimate retro/indie gaming system.

I honestly really like the idea and delivery of the Amico, but the proof will be in the pudding. ie; will it have any games that make it a must-have? I'm VERY doubtful. Earthworm Jim isn't a system seller, and all they have to show off for it is a few animations and a background, neither of which looks quality or inspiring next to the spirit of the original games, despite having the original creators on board. I hate to say it but it's very cheap looking.

I really want it to thrive, I want a video game system that's simply focused on quick and easy FUN for everyone to do well in this day and age. Make me a true believer Tommy.

I think both this and the Atari whatever they were announcing had potential, remember how excited /v/ got with the announcement?
https://miscrave.com/articles/ataribox/
All they needed was something that was easy to use fancy emulator box with a good price, right marketing, nice estetic and with an ability to play modern indies. It's possible look at all the junk retropie like chinese clones sold online and shitty plug to tv mini consoles on the shelves. A premium one could be a workable product but it needs some smart marketing/design etc.

I don't give a shit about couch co-op.

Can any of the remakes of old games not rely on plastic or neon visuals? It would be nice if some games would just read very well in screenshots, they have the benefit of not competing with high end next gen but also if they do have 2D games, try not making them look like the Flash shit we used to go to for a laugh or a cheap thrill back in the 2000s.

Just saying, it would be great to have this for reasons other than Earthworm Jim. At this point I'd even take a real Action 52 remake on the system except all the original staff has more time to reimagine the 52 games.

It's not going to succeed. Nobody who isn't a retrofag wants to play these sorts of games anymore, and if they did they'd want to play them on PS4, or PC, or their phone instead of buying another console specifically for them. Amico is the Quibi of gaming.

I'm a buyfag so I might get one anyways out of morbid curiosity, but I'm not expecting it to be a system that sticks around for long, or a system that I spend much time on.
