$199 now. Still seems a bit overpriced.

“A bit”, my lord.

“Since the beginning, the number one question from Playdate owners has been: ‘When will there be another Season?’” says Greg Maletic, Playdate project lead.

I’m pretty sure it was ‘why is it so damn expensive’.

That’s the question from non customers.

If I bought it and realised that’s all I got, I’d be wondering that.

Ufff, why would you buy one of these instead of a r36s or similar

Because it has a library of interesting and innovative exclusives, making use of an unusual control input. Whether that makes it worth it or not is personal preference, but you can’t disagree that it offers something unique.

Because they are different devices serving different purposes. The r36s is a portable emulator that’ll run games from different consoles; the playdate is a portable console that runs games made specifically for the playdate.
