You can tell. The freaky promo image for a start - look at the placement of one of the hands on a kid's shoulder and the same one that's holding a cup! Or is it the same kid?
Also note the total lack of diversity. Are only white boys and white men welcome?
The quotes read like LLM output too.
Not that I wish a business to fail, especially a local business, but it shows a lack of care and respect and isn't a business I'd want to visit.
@JayJ I'm with you to an extent. I don't come to Time Extension for news like this, but thinking back to print magazines, this is something that would've been mentioned in a News section, and probably just that - mentioned. I don't see the need for Time Extension to go into the detail they have about the war.
I suppose the solution is to avoid the News section of the website.
@ElBowserino The chip shortage is well known and hasn't just affected the Amico, and Intellivision were partly relying on instore displays. Admittedly they were far from the only issues, but it's possible the eye had to be taken off things like getting the OS ready to sort out the parts shortages.
It's a shame. I didn't ever see it becoming a success but wanted to be proved wrong. With them talking about NFTs last year, it seems they were clutching at straws for a long time already.
Would it have been released if the pandemic hadn't happened? The pandemic could have been the nail in the coffin.
Gameplay-wise, almost everything seems to hinge on the controller. I remember how much the Wii controller was criticised before anyone had actually used it, so hopefully the Amico controller will be as unique/good as Tommy Tallarico says.

Re: "This Is From Zelda, If You Didn't Know" - Test Footage Highlights The Danger Of Using GenAI In Video Game Development
Part of the problem is the (marketing) con that calls it "Ai" which understandably makes people think it can think and reason.

Re: Here's Why Controllers Have 'A, B, X & Y' Buttons, And Not 'A, B, C & D'
But CAD is C and D. I'm too confused. 😉
Re: Best Of 2024: The Making Of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Konami's Underrated N64 Classic
Impact's introduction is one of my favourite cutscenes in gaming history, and it's brilliant how it seamlessly transitions into the gameplay.
Great game. Probably my second favourite 3D platformer on the N64 (behind Mario 64).
Re: CeX Retro Watch: November 2023
It'd be great to feature independent stores instead. CeX don't need the publicity.

@moodycat I enjoyed the reboot while it lasted, and it's a shame the plug was pulled again.
