Brilliant loll! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq-zDb-Xdws

Well it is blowing up all over Facebook, various forums, youtube etc. Feeling vindicated and oddly none of those on Facebook who insisted I was a troll or just some guy who had no proof and was just "hater" seem to be saying anything now lol. I always call them as I see them which is not always popular when you are conveying things people just don't want to hear so it is pretty sweet to see this outcome.

Coleco Chameleon Caught Using Capture Card In Fake Prototype Posted on Feb 29 2016 - 10:55pm by Ryan Shoptaw https://www.gamingconviction.com/coleco-chameleon-caught-using-capture-card-in-fake-prototype/

After posting a image on Colectorvsion Facebook page (one of the devs that was supposedly backing this) , the reply -

Yep same board, even the RED wire attached lol.

And BEHOLD with some sleuthing by some others the actual content of the "prototype" revealed! That's it, anyone STILL wanting to believe Mike Kennedy has not been purposely lying and deceiving? How much more proof is needed at this point? The internal board is from a DVR capture card. No matter how you slice it, however some choose to spin it there have just been to many questionable coincidences and too much double talk etc. Even if the Chameleon actually appears in some form (as apparently is the promise after the missed kickstarter launch) I am surprised anyone would seriously back anything to do with this now. With this evidence the images have disappeared from the Facebook page. That's all she wrote folks.

Yes it is and in fact all his articles and insight have been on the ball without the fanboy wishes as a factor, every article he has done was sourced from facts and actual available information and not just speculation or personal opinion. Been following his articles from the start and we have in fact messaged a lot back and forth on facebook while we watch the whole fiasco go down.

Sean J. Michelin on Facebook made a good point with his comment "No working prototype = no Kickstarter, as per Kickstarter's rules. Simple math."

I expected anything except the Kickstater to kick off ! So in that respect yes I guess........ I see nothing in the announcement except excuses, more hype and BIG SURPRISE they are already back to deleting posts and comments and anything that is not 100% supportive on the Facebook announcement post as well as outright blocking people from commenting, I know this for a fact and it is the behavior I keep seeing from them. Anyone in doubt post and comment or question that challenges their position and just wait for the result see, that is a big part of the problem people are not seeing those deleted posts and comments so they think everyone is completely on board with their decisions. I knew the kickstarter was not launching today and in the final hour that is exactly what happened. Honestly I would have been amazed and eaten my words if the Kickstarter launched but I was not too worried.

Already people are defending them in comments lol. As for the Coleco branding well, it was all part of their plan to entice and interest Coleco fans by securing the branding. Sadly, that is all many people see, the average casual consumer believes this is the same "Coleco" they knew and loved back in the day when in fact brands like Atari, Coleco even Commodore are merely names today, licenses to be slapped on any piece of crap simply by licensing the IP - in short it means literally NOTHING in reality but they count on misinformed nostalgic consumers to throw money their way.......

JUST POSTED ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE (ANYONE SHOCKED? ANYONE? BUELLER? BUELLER?) 9 mins · We’re delaying the Kickstarter for the Coleco Chameleon to make it even better! Last week during Toy Fair in New York, we had the opportunity to demonstrate the Coleco Chameleon to the industry, gamers and retailers for the first time. Their response was beyond anything we’d imagined. Major retailers provided feedback on the product and expressed real interest in carrying the product for the 2016 holiday season. And, very importantly, major game companies expressed interest in providing games for our system, which meant we’d need more time to solidify those partnerships and maximize the content. Our team’s overriding goal has always been to deliver the best possible system and experience for gamers. If there’s ever anything we can do to enhance the product, we believe the extra time is worth it. Therefore, we have decided to delay the pre-sell, i.e. Kickstarter, campaign in order to finalize our prototype and work with developers on having the best possible content. This delay will not affect our overall launch date for the Coleco Chameleon. There has also been a whirlwind of interest, speculation and curiosity regarding the insides of the Chameleon. We are delighted by this and happy to confirm that we will be releasing photographs of the system now on our Facebook page, and we’ll focus on turning our prototype into a production-ready product. We’ll keep you posted on any major news on our Facebook page and will let you know when we launch a pre-sell program leading up to the Christmas season. Stay tuned, and thanks for your continued support.

COLECO CHAMELEON AT NEW YORK TOY FAIR – SNES MINI UNDER GLASS? February 22nd, 2016 Carl Williams http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2016/02/22/coleco-chameleon-at-new-york-toy-fair-snes-mini-under-glass/

But that is just it, they HAVE responded to them by deleting comments on the very subject. Every time the question is posed or they are given the opportunity even on their own Facebook page and other forums etc they either do not respond, ignore or simply delete, block or report anyone who questions anything on the subject and THAT is why I am done giving them the benefit of a doubt, their very actions tell me all I need to know. And now for fun https://youtu.be/XXxdPQo8-Gk

I think a lot more evidence supports that it is exactly what it is (a Snes mini running a flashcart) than there is proving it is actually the prototype Mike was promising. Mike has a history of dancing around the facts deleting negative comments while never actually providing anything solid. Have you not been following everything since the RetroVGS fiasco? Seems far more likely Mike felt pressured to come up with something to show at the ToyFair in order to have a good showing to help promote and secure funding towards the campaign, after all the hyping and and the pounding he had already taken from the previous attempt and failure he definitely could not fail to show something. What he displayed actually was very amateurish and not convincing at all. I think you give people behind the expo far too much credit in knowing the difference. What I CAN tell you is things may be falling apart for this project very soon concerning some parties involved but that is all I can say on that. Stay tuned though.

Because it is our prototype and definitely NOT a Snes mini with flashcart running a ROM!

So word recently is that the prototype is nothing more than a SNES Jr. Board lol https://youtu.be/deOe1y2arJk I am not shocked to find out it is all a scam....... https://youtu.be/q2d_3bpuFRY
