The Intellivision Amico Special Event has revealed games coming to the system, along with the announcement of a new release date, Earthworm Jim 4, and more.

As stated in the press release (via the Intellivision website), the Amico system (“the modern reboot of the iconic Intellivision video game console“) will launch in April 15th, 2021. It was originally revealed in 2018, and received over $5.5 million USD in crowdfunding through Fig.

Along with six pre-loaded games, Amico games range from $2.99 USD to $9.99 USD. All games will be rated E or E10+, and boast that gameplay will adapt to the user’s skill level. Further, the games will have “no ads, downloadable content, loot boxes, or in-game purchases.” 

The system will launch for $249 USD, with two controllers with touch screens and motion controls. Though a free Android and iOS app, mobile devices can be used so up to eight players can play together.

Originally slated to launch October 10th of this year, but delayed due to “the myriad of obstacles and constraints imposed by the global pandemic.” The new console will be available online via GameStop, Amazon, Walmart, and more.
