@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: 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.

Re: Channel 4's GamesMaster Reboot Has Found Its Presenter
@moodycat I enjoyed the reboot while it lasted, and it's a shame the plug was pulled again.
