Intellivision Entertainment showed off the hardware design of its Amico retro game console today, complete with a new Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The curvy, wedge-like console’s design is supposed to be friendly and accessible, Intellivision CEO Tommy Tallarico said in a video presentation. They intend for the console to be something you can use right off the bat, and it isn’t aimed at the more limited audience of hardcore gamers.

“We’re all about family play,” Tallarico said. “We wanted to create something that personified Intellivision and what our mission was all about.”
