press release from Coleco via J2Games.com today:

 

The ColecoVision: Coleco Chameleon drama continues. 

 

"It has come to our attention that the community has certain concerns over the prototypes involving the Retro VGS model. The team at Retro remains confident that their product is developed to the extent as describe; HOWEVER, in order to confirm or debase these concerns, Coleco has demanded to inspect the prototype units within a seven day time frame. At which time, independent engineers will review their findings and determine if those units are up to our standards. We will report some or all of those findings to the community so as long as they do not interfere with proprietary information. We remain hopeful that the community's concerns are merely speculations, but if there is merit to the concerns, then we have no choice but to abandon the project rather than release a sub-par product. During this time, we ask that the community allow us time to complete these inspections. Time extensions will only be granted if requested by the independent engineer. Time extensions and results will be posted here."

Here we go folks... 
 
[MIKE KENNEDY LEAD-IN]  Hi everyone, I’m Mike Kennedy and we are very excited to introduce you to the Coleco Chameleon.  The Coleco Chameleon is a new cartridge based video gaming console that is designed to play both a variety of classic games from the 80’s and 90’s and also new retro inspired games coming from today’s homebrew, indie and mainstream developers.  We have spent the last few months creating a working prototype as well as seeking out launch games that will scratch that retro itch in all of you.  We hope you will consider backing our campaign and help to spread the word of our campaign to your gaming friends and family.

Remember when video-games looked like video-games?  When colorful, imaginative sprites popped off the screen and into your living room.  When games were more than an impulsive download; they were highly prized, magical transports into a fantasy world all delivered inside plastic cartridges. 
[GAMEPLAY VIDEO MONTAGE-Iron Commando, Dorke & YMP]
Remember when games were hard but you still couldn’t tear yourself away from playing?  When they didn’t include lengthy tutorials or unlimited continues or saves?  Remember when games came with instruction books that you actually wanted to read cover-to-cover? 
[TRANSITION TO LIVING ROOM SET, KIDS ON COUCH PLAYING CHAMELEON]
Remember that feeling you had buying a game in the store and bringing it home and playing it for the first time with your friends and family, all in the same room?  We want to bring those magical times back with the introduction of the COLECO Chameleon.  The COLECO Chameleon is the first new home console in nearly 20 years that will play new games on cartridges and once again give today’s gamers something to buy, play, trade and collect for a lifetime.
[TRANSITION TO COLECO MONTAGE]
It also marks the return of the COLECO brand name, a brand synonymous with the history of electronic handheld games and video games.  COLECO was a pioneer bringing some of the first PONG systems into the home in the 1970’s followed by the hugely successful Colecovision in the 1980’s, the first system to bring near arcade perfect graphics into over two million living rooms.  And it was the company that made Nintendo a house-hold name when Donkey Kong was packed into every Colecovision retail box sold.
[TRANSITION TO CHAMELEON CONSOLE MANTAGE]
The COLECO Chameleon is designed to be the ultimate retro gaming system.  It has the ability to accurately play a variety of your favorite classic video games, available as compilation cartridges, while also being an outlet for many all-new, classically inspired games being programmed by some of today’s best homebrew, indie and mainstream game developers. Now recognized as art form in of itself, retro gaming is once again a mainstay in today’s gaming landscape as developers are realizing classic graphics and gameplay mechanics are still entertaining even in this age of triple A, big budget cinematic titles. The COLECO Chameleon is the best way to experience this new wave of RETRO.  Get ready to Play Again.
[MIKE KENNEDY CALL TO ACTION]
If you’re as excited as we are after viewing this, you have a chance to be one of the first gamers to have a Coleco Chameleon before it’s introduced commercially.  Now, you can play the old games you loved when you were younger, help your friends and family make memories of their own, and enjoy the new games from our collection. 
On behalf of my team at Retro Video Game Systems, Inc. and Coleco Holdings we ask for your consideration to help us bring the COLECO Chameleon into homes around the world.  This is a product that needs grass roots support to grow as it is so completely opposite of where the video-game industry is heading.  Help us change the future of gaming by bringing back the RETRO.

well, Gamester81 (John Lester) is not a tech guy, may be the guy with less or null knowledge of coding and programming in that company. Either he hypes the product out of ignorance or is a sellout, you decide.

So disappointing. I was hoping to see a blurry hamster wheel spinning in there.

someone reminded me of the infomercial he did before, his behavior is something to be ashamed for. You cant defend something you havent seen working by yourself (aka opened and see it real and working) while you go in a podcast and call the people calling on Mike' BS toxic.

funny, considering John was (kind of) defending how the Coleco Chameleon was a prototype on his fb wall
 
Edit: DeLorean beat me to it haha

Um..... Excuse me.. How is Collectorvision disavowing themselves of the Coleco Chameleon like they're victims kept in the dark just as much as we have been, when in fact they've been making posts leading people to believe their games "play great" on the Chameleon prototype?

Right before the Toy Fair, Collectorvision posted this photo of the Coleco Chameleon "Prototype 1" dev unit and cartridge next to a TV that makes it look like the Chameleon prototype is playing their game. Collectorvision posted the following message:

"One of our games we're working one, (sic) Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death running on the upcoming Coleco Chameleon prototype system. It plays great on it, and it will be playable at this weekend's New York Toy Fair event."

EXPLAIN THIS SHIT

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.
