Intellivision Amico is one of the anomaly consoles that we see from time to time. It is not cutting-edge technology, nor is it trying to be. The Amico is geared towards fans that want that old school feel and fun in a new package. Tommy Tallarico has spearheaded this re-emergence of the Intellivision brand. New blood often means new direction. That is exactly what is happening here. Now the European distribution partner has been announced. It is a big one.
Relaunching a classic brand
Tommy Tallarico made the announcement in May 2018 that he was launching a new Intellivision branded console. This would become the Intellivision Amico.
The idea behind the Intellivision Amico was to keep games easy to learn and play. This directive towards fun would be felt in the games announced. It did not stop there as the console's final d
esign kept this in mind.
Intellivision Amico European distribution partner
Launching October 10th, 2020, the Intellivision Amico’s European launch has a new partner. Koch Media have secured the exclusive distribution rights to the new console.
"We are thrilled that we have been able to sign Koch Media, Europe's leading distributor for the launch of Intellivision Amico. We cannot imagine a better partner,” says Hans Ippisch, President Europe of Intellivision and Managing Director of Intellivision Entertainment Europe GmbH. "Dr. Klemens Kundratitz has been closely following our development since 2018 and presented a convincing concept to get the exclusive distribution rights from Europe, Australia and New Zealand. "
