New handheld console with a crank. Need I say more.

I probably should say more because I love the idea of the games being secret until the day they come out, and the idea of waking up to a new game every Monday morning.

if the Playdate was released twenty five years ago to failure and obscurity it would def. be enshrined as legend

it has a crank tho. a crank.
I lowkey wish the crank also recharged the battery but this still looks neat as heck.

The crank just makes me wonder why they went with that instead of a knob or a wheel.
Keita Takahashi and Bennett Foddy are making games for it.
I’m interested.

Okay I legit want one of these PlayDates but $149US is too rich for me unless I can also make my own games for it.

We’ve had tons of games that have used knobs and wheels. There have been much fewer games that have used cranks even though cranks can be just as fun to turn.
