Intellivision says all Amico games will be family-friendly and affordable

The console will launch this fall alongside some newly-announced accessories, including a branded bag for transporting the console, a sleeve for protecting the controller and ten sets of controller skin packs, each of which contain three different themed designs.

In an extensive interview with VGC earlier this year, Intellivision CEO Tommy Tallarico explained that the Amico is specifically aimed at families, in that its entire ecosystem and game library revolves around safe, family-friendly gaming.

To accomplish this, every game in the Amico library has to meet a set of criteria, including no extreme violence, sexual content, bad language, DLC, microtransactions or in-game ads. Every game will be rated E for Everyone (or PEGI 7 in Europe), and every game will include local co-op play.

The Intellivision Amico is due for release this fall.
