Meet Amico™ - SideSwipers Early Gameplay Demo

In this MEET AMICO video we demonstrate some of the unique ideas behind game design and development of one of our simple racing games that will be available at launch. The game is being played on the Amico hardware with 2 Amico controllers connected via bluetooth along with 2 mobile devices (connected Wi-Fi) running off our Amico controller app which will be free to download. We also showcase the uniqueness of playing games on our controllers and some of the differences and advantages to what we've built and why.

SideSwipers will have multiple unlockable tracks and cars as well as a variety of unique "traps" for each track. A simple, fun, quick and affordable couch co-op game that is accessible for anyone to jump in and play no matter what your age or skill level. Intellivision® - TOGETHER AGAIN.

Preordered my Amico yesterday. Really looking forward to getting my hands on this system.

Whether or not this product actually ends up being for me, I just want to say I really appreciate the level of enthusiasm you have for your product. In that alone I truly do wish you guys all the success.

PS: A top down 4-8 player action rpg in the vein of something like "Dungeon Explorer" for the Turbo Grafx would suit this consoles style very well imo.

The controllers screen could even be used for map display and quick inventory access for example. Just some food for thought guys 👍.

Hope we get to see some gameplay of any RPG's coming to the Amico.

Tommy, your enthusiasm is contagious man!

[MarvelBus]

At first glance it looks like it could get stale quick, but I bet they're going to have a whole variety of cool tracks right?

[stevenmclaughlin]

Well this is really cool after watching this video. You need to do more of this Tommy!

[NintendoThumb]

Looks cool, but, I wish it had online multiplayer.

Just played Moon Patrol demo, absolutely love it. Great game play!

[JB-pkvc]

Buying for sure! Tommy we also be able to play the classic versions of all the games or will the Amico only have the redesigned versions? Would love to be able to play both...

[Stratilex]

This is one of the games I've really been looking forward to. Love the name too

[dita]

I like the controllers and the philosophy behind the Amico (and, as italian, I love the name). I also like these friendly videos with the couch and the boxes around :-)

[IRgEEK]

GIVE ME! I can't wait to get my hands on this console! Thank you @tommy and Amico!

[litjellyfish]

Finally a game that actually looks visually nice! Love the clear colors and effects and how they background is separated with lot less saturation.

[ievgentaranskyi]

Looks awesome! Lots of fun for the entire family.... Can't wait for my Founder's Edition :)))

[twotales]

This is one of the games that has my kids riled up. It's nice to have more info!

[TheRog]

Maybe do the demos in a better place than a storage closet.

[one_point_gigawatts]

[benjaminsnow]
