Saves the gaming industry

>shilling for this on Zig Forums

No I'm just bored.

It's very blatantly just another money laundering scheme
Give it a year maybe two and the info will go public, if we're lucky through some youtuber that blows it up

I've already pre-ordered 5 of them

why would tommy do it? I thought he was big in the video game industry

>implying it's tommy
He's the face. That's the whole point of laundering is you put on the show and you hide it from the front man, it's all behind the scenes not in your face.

>haha a new intelivision nostalgia grab it actually looks kinda cool I'll grab...
>$250
nope.

Stop trying to make it interesting!

Why the fuck the design literally looks like a medical device? It literally looks like as if it came out of 2000's instead of the 2020's.

That console would've fared better if they went with a design that's more or less similar to Google's Google Home lineup and Xbox Series X

It should have been a handheld console.

Will we ever see a company try making an indie handheld?
Seriously, all you need is a half decent handheld. Some marketing. Get some developers on board with it, fund some smaller indie companies to make exclusive titles for the thing. Make it all digital or pair with limited run games for manufacturing physical titles you order online.
There's gotta be room in the market with Nintendo being the only one. Make it easily accessible to homebrew as well (but secure to avoid piracy), so people can load it with emulators easily convincing a lot more people to buy your system.

i can't even tell what it is

Playdate exists

looks like an early 2000s toy

And it's horribly overpriced and a total meme joke of a handheld.

>Make it easily accessible to homebrew as well (but secure to avoid piracy), so people can load it with emulators easily convincing a lot more people to buy your system.
There are tons of those on the market right now.

this shit is creepy, by looking at the comments everyone loves this new game
it's like that retarded kid that all the parents compliment so that he doesn't feel bad, this hot turd looks like those 'make your own game in 5 minutes' tutorials on gamemaker studio assets and all, what a fucking scam

Sure it may be, but the way they have done is just a way to stand out reasonably out of a market that's mostly compromised of shitty chinese emulator portables.

If it does indeed end up doing well, then we may at least start to see more original handheld systems from other companies. Which is why I do hope that it does succeed, so that we'll see the 5th gen era back.

You could have an online store with DRM-free emulators, to respect the GPL.

Playdate doesn't even has color and all games are only available on a subscription.

It looks like Unity shit.

and i can assure you now 100% that thats how the next EWJ game will look like

>If it does indeed end up doing well,
I literally forgot that thing existed before your post, there's no way the thing is gonna do well, no influencer, no gaming website is talking about it anymore.

If this shit didn't have Earthworm Jim 4 I wouldn't care.

But it does, so I reluctantly do.

this it is so obscure it doesn't even have meme potential like the ngage or ouya.

Are you their marketer, op?

>meme potential like the ngage or ouya.
N-Gage was actually taken seriously for a while, I was a kid when it released, people only memed about the "side-talk" aspect of the original model but the device was seen as a milestone for handhelds, even if it ended up failing. Ouya was a meme from head to toes, it was never respected.

>no gaming website is talking about it anymore
That's because the conventions are cancelled. I'm pretty sure that they would've shown it around several few gaming conventions, if it wasn't for coronavirus. But then again, time will tell if it does succeed or not.

>touch controls
hard pass

>Seriously, all you need is a half decent handheld. Some marketing. Get some developers on board with it, fund some smaller indie companies to make exclusive titles for the thing. Make it all digital or pair with limited run games for manufacturing physical titles you order online.
Ah, thats all you need to do? Shit, I'll try that this weekend, sounds pretty simple.

>touted as a "family console" that will bring people back to the couch
>Available 10/10
>won't be able to capitalize from the lockdown
whoops.

And don't forget that it's over 100 fucking dollars for 5 minute tech demos

>all games are only available on a subscription
And it's actually free. Had if this shown in the age where physical games were the norm, then that wouldn't really work.

>That's because the conventions are cancelled
Everything worth a damn is being shown througn streams you delusional wreck, lack of venues is not an issue for things that are actually popular, that thing stopped being talked about way before this pandemic even started, it is dead on arrival.

That's what I was thinking
Or the type of fake gaming console you'd see on some kids show

>time will tell if it does succeed or not.
Time is already telling that nobody cares about it.
