Playdate — A new handheld gaming system from Panic
It’s yellow. It fits in your pocket. It’s got a beautiful black and white screen. It’s not super cheap, but not super expensive. It includes brand new games from some amazing creators. Plus it has a crank.

@mijustin even better, they've teamed up with Teenage Engineering, which make one of the nicest multimedia synthesizers out there. A perfect combo 👌
This device is quite eye-catching, especially with the crank. Are you going to buy one?
I mean it looks really cool, but with nothing more than a press release and a few 3D renders (AR view is cool) I don't have too much confidence in it yet. Only time will tell though.
Pros:Looks fun and unique, happy to see someone taking a chance on it
Cons:Nothing but renders? I doubt it will debut in 2020
If you haven’t been to their site, highly suggest the interactive video showing you how it works. Pretty cool!
Oh. The crank doesn't charge it :-(
The rest of it looks insanely appealing though. Smashing work Panic/teenage engineering
looks very appealing, the crank is a great idea for kids bad for parents ;-) ... unlimited playing time LoL
It looks so awesome and I really enjoy all the features. I wish it were a bit less expensive because I'll be buying from Canada. Can't blame Panic for that though, the device and games look incredible.
Love the whole innovation. i don't game but i expect to via paly.date
Pros:It is not like the other games... a figget perhaps but potential for a whole lot more
Cons:not available yet
definitely on the want list.
Pros:This is like a steampunk Gameboy, love it
Cons:None that i can see right now, except it isn't out yet
If Teenage Engineering has a part in it, I want it. Everything they make is so... quirky and fun.
