Another year goes by, another Intellivision update is published to reassure the patient backers of the Amico console. This time however they make it clear that Intellivision doesn’t have the money to begin the manufacturing process for the console, and that they need to secure additional investment.
“Our ability to begin manufacturing Amico consoles in volume requires securing additional investment. The release of Amico HomeTM puts us on a better footing to attract such investment or to eventually fund manufacturing from the proceeds of Amico HomeTM game sales. We remain dedicated to moving Intellivision forward, step by step, until we can deliver on the full vision of Amico, including the consoles. Thank you to all of our console pre-order and boxed edition game customers for supporting our mission to bring people together with simple, affordable, family entertainment.”
Some say this is just another twist in the long-standing saga, however, we still think the project is deceased. And we’re talking dead-dead, and not just zombie-dead.
