Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Koch Media GmbH, adds: “the Amico product range fits perfectly into our broad line-up and further strengthens our position in the family entertainment category. Our colleagues look forward to fully supporting this unique product offering in our local markets with our broad publishing experience, which extends to games as well as hardware and merchandise.”
Intellivision Amico is planned to release in Europe in October 2021, a one-year slip compared to initial planning, because of Covid19 situation.
