Those itching for a new handheld can look forward to game developer, Panic’s first piece of hardware. Called Playdate, the small 3” by 3” Pikachu toned handheld will be an entirely new experience for gamers. When available, those hat preorder their unit will have access to 12 games, which unlock on a weekly basis. Eliminating bundles, software downloads, upgrades, etc. sound great, but a first pique may have viewers wondering about the hand crank. This along with the traditional directional pad and front facing buttons can give fidgets an excuse to continually turn which translates to gameplay. Despite its retro looks, modern amenities such as Bluetooth, usb-c and a headphone jack are all standard. Due out in early 2020 and we predict pre-order windows should be opening up soon. [Link]
