Playdate - A new handheld gaming system from Panic

by
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.

What the heck! This is crazy. Panic (who makes Mac apps like Transmit) just made this adorable, portable gaming system.

@mijustin even better, they've teamed up with Teenage Engineering, which make one of the nicest multimedia synthesizers out there. A perfect combo 👌

You San Francisco weirdos have too much time and money.

Whatever Teenage Engineering touches turns into best designed stuff ever. I would like to have everything from them even that I don't need it :D

Oh. The crank doesn't charge it :-( The rest of it looks insanely appealing though. Smashing work Panic/teenage engineering

This device is quite eye-catching, especially with the crank. Are you going to buy one?

If Teenage Engineering has a part in it, I want it. Everything they make is so... quirky and fun.

I'm into this - but a big part of me hopes it isn't totally dependent on the teased weekly subscription package. A device like this deserves to stretch its wings!

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.

If you haven’t been to their site, highly suggest the interactive video showing you how it works. Pretty cool!
