@Missingno128 Yeah, it's really too bad that... the creator of the hack didn't decide to hire a friggin' factory to mass produce and distribute custom made SNES cartridges along with the game...?

I mean, do you realize what you're asking here?

@CoastersPaul Kotaku's article on this says that 78 of the 86 hours in this run are spent waiting for that platform!

@Duffman92 TJ "Henry" Yoshi must have written the article.

@Futureshark Simply one of the best chiptunes ever written. I don't listen to many video game soundtracks, but this one is amazing. I basically listen to Risk of Rain soundtracks and this song.

@jello64 It does ship to America for £11. Including the shipping it's about $81 at current exchange rate.

@Ryu_Niiyama Kotaku's article has an image of the dock and a screenshot of a game running.

@dimi It's not going to run GBA games. It's a pure 1-bit black-and-white screen. The 400x240 pixels are either on or off, no grey.

@Dethmunk I don't think it's DOA really. Anyone can make a game for it. Literally anyone. It's launching with very few, but when it launches, it's also launching with a browser-based game maker, and later a dev "kit" (no actual physical dev kits, just an app, but that further speaks to the ease of developing games for it) openly available to anyone. https://play.date/dev/ I can easily see this thing catching on simply due to the open nature of development.

@HollowSpectre I managed to resist, but I think it looks cute and fun.

Edit: Damn it. I sold myself on it below. I have one on order now.
