A FUCKING CRANK
gameboy for hipster assholes

Its way worse.
Not that it hasn't been done before…
A FUCKING 200 DOLLAR CRANK WITH NO GAMES
It's a pity that they got Lucas Pope, Bennett Foddy, Zach Gage, and Keita Takahashi to make exclusive games for this.
I read it has dev tools. Would making a game on something simple like this be a helpful skill for bigger projects? I have very rudimentary coding skills for what it’s worth.
I can’t understand how anyone could think this is acceptable. $40 chink emulation handhelds have backlit screens.
Can't wait for the $50 clone of this on AliExpress in a year
did you even look at those games? they're all shit
It looks somewhat cool but I know I'm not the target audience for it so whatever
Wait. People are actually buying this?
yes, there are many men and women children who make 6 figures and don't care about spending it on superfluous garbage such as this because they already have a dozen cats
So what is the crank for?
it's just another control
As a gimmick for some games, there's no fishing game and it does not charge the thing
There are more hipsters in the first world than should probably exist. Also production quotas make no sense at all given the hardware of the handheld. At least with other handheld consoles, it makes sense. But none of the shortages would limit production of this. This has low memory, low storage, a microcontroller, not SOC, made in 2014 for IOT products, non-backlit LCD, and the cheapest wireless chip available with 2.4 GHz support only and 4.2 Bluetooth. It has all the markings of artificial scarcity.
The shill threads were hilarious, people actually pretending to be "excited" for this.
>tfw thought 2023 meant 3 years from now
Rate my handheld console bros
>using FOMO to market their shit product
yep this is how i know your product a shit m8
Ouya was a full on scam which got people excited with actual lies. This seems to be somehow popular despite not even lying about how shitty and worthless it is. It's kinda amazing. Never underestimate the power of the crank.
>"NIGGA WHERE IS THE A BUTTON?!"
I remember reading about how apparently a higher-res full color backlit screen would have cost LESS than the screen they used. But they intentionally chose this screen, which is the most expensive component in the entire device, simply because they liked the way it looked.
This thing was designed at levels of hipster I didn't even think were possible.
id think the more likely scenario is they only ordered like 10k of these things and now have to wait that long to be able to get more
What did Ouya even lie about? I think they marketed the idea of playing shitty phone games too good and people blindly followed the hype.
I mean, they did go back on all games would be required to have demos? I guess there's that?
But yeah, the Ouya was mostly just shit, and took took long to try to get the ball rolling. When it was announced it's hardware was top of the line... but the time it came out it was already outdated by other phones.
Their CEO was a scheming weasel too. She proudly and smugly would go on about how she refused to ever provide any numbers but would then insist the product is doing well. There is a rather infamous clip of an interviewer trying to ask her sales numbers and she keeps dancing around the issue, after getting fed up with her BS he flat out asks her if she isn't going to give him an answer and she smugly replies with no.
Apparently she works at Playboy now.
Playboy is dead tho
Ouya marketed itself as a full console and not just as a phone game box. The crankbox is literally 100% honest about all the consumers will get is wario ware minigames that may be played with a crank and it's almost twice as expensive as ouya and is still this hyped. It's unreal.
You can upsell any dollar store toy by 100x if you use a clean website template with fancy videos.
I have a better idea:
Why not just play games on your phone?
Meh, the Intellivision Amico got exclusive rights to Earthworm Jim 3. Do you seriously think that's going to be any good? Especially since that platform mandates no games can have an ESRB rating higher than E10+
Nobody talks about or even knows that's happening.
"We got exclusive rights from this once famous dev" from these shitty homebrew devices means jack shit, name ONE such "indie" product that did that and was successful, and/or the game not being shit.
Exactly my point
There are a bunch of games
>he didn't back early to get a custom model
Must suck being poor.
I mean, I won't buy it but its honesty means it won't get overhyped for not delivering on its price value and watching some reviews, it's fine if you are the hipster target audience but yeah, if you want things that can do the most with that amount of money, you're better off buying a Chinese handheld with Linux or Android that can play games and emulators.
>Going with the more expensive, shittier screen for hipster reasons
It's believable, but I refuse to believe this. You can't be fucking serious.
show the list
>Especially since that platform mandates no games can have an ESRB rating higher than E10+
I'm not defending them, but I don't think that decision should have too much of an effect on EJ3.
Damn bro nice 200 dollar box you got there
>TFW this might be the same price or even more expensive on eBay
To be fair, they'd get shit on for backlight bleed if they used generic ips screen, despite all the benefits. Anything short of an OLED screen would reek of chinkshit. The black and white screen actually makes this handheld stand out just as much as the crank. It looks like a premium retro device rather than a generic 2001 in 1 Chinese emulation device.
Yeah, those radica electronic poker games are selling for a premium on Ebay because there's no one-time purchase poker games for mobile, they're all ad infested and tied to real gambling.
Nope, it will sell very well for the intended public:

For a black and white display? A backlight has no issues there and I think it was a mistake to not do that. However, I think they would've been better off with E-Ink given the low requirements of the screen and it would've been usable outdoors and actually be somewhat unique technically besides the crank.
The screen is a kind of e-ink, at least in terms of image retention with no power etc..
Not if the price was fitting. If you are going to charge near-Switch prices you better have a near-Switch level screen, especially since all the rest of your hardware is leagues behind the Switch. Or you could charge a sane price so nobody would complain about using a cheap IPS screen.
Don't e-ink screens suffer from ghosting?
Tbh it looks fun.
I would buy it if it was already out and had like 30 good games and more to come.
I don't get this. The crank doesn't power it up so it doesn't even have that "renewable energy" novelty to it. What the fuck is even the point of this thing
>has a longer wait time than Deck
The free games kinda make the price tag easier to swallow, especially since you can side load any future games they try charging for.
>What the fuck is even the point of this thing
it's a gizmo, knick-knack, doodad that hipsters can pull out from the front pocket of their overalls and play with while they wait for their starbucks.
I guess, but in sunlight, since it is LCD, it becomes unreadable fast while Eink would still be, and regardless if it had one or not, not having a backlight is still a big issue because it renders it unusable in the dark.
Yeah, to an extent but they've come a long way. High end ones are now kind of equal to a normal LCD, and I think that would've been enough for small games.
This either mean it is selling more, or that they have a much worse manufacturing capability.
I own a fucking Steam Deck nigga so don't talk to me bout being poor you bitch ass motherfucker. This shit is just trash plain and simple.
stop getting upset over a novelty device. this is not marketed towards gamers.
Paypig arrest reply
nobody's pretending it's going to be The Next Big Thing and dethrone sony/ms/nintendo, it's just a hipster fashion accessory console and barely tries to be anything but that
Based hardcore gamer

Ok, thanks for the info.
I'm not upset, i'm finding it hilarious
I will totally bully anyone i get using this in public.
Does the usbc port at the bottom supply power? Wouldn't be surprised if official worm lights start getting sold at 80 bucks a pop.
My wife was talking to me the other day about how an e-book from the library had 16 week wait list because there were several other people in queue to check it out. How the fuck does that even make sense? Shit is digital, multiple people should be able to 'check it out' at the same time.
sneed
Shut the fuck up, mass replying scum.
No (you)s for you!
Are you blind?
Wait so hipster pay premium for garbage?
I hope so. Everyone involved in it should unironically hang themselves.
Yep, turns out they are stupid! Whodathunkit?
You know the usual suspects Reddit, Twitter, Discord are loving this. Why is it that Yea Forums is the only place that seems like real people post?
You're not original.
That's not insulting to me, special snowflake tranny.
Generally speaking, besides /pol/, this site is not used by brainwashed NPC's.
>queue
reminds me of gay pedo transpant english teacher we had (i am danmark), he would say this thing and it makes me want to kill british
/pol/ is bot and Schizo central thought. Yea Forums for all its faults seems mostly normal gamers talking mostly about games. Like if something is shit someone will say it's shit. Like this thing is over expensive ewaste that is a waste of parts.
Considering from the Metal Jesus Rocks video half of the games I saw were shit like snake, chess, asteroids, columns with a dog, etc. No, I don't agree that the "free games" makes it any easier to swallow.
>especially since you can side load any future games they try charging for
Are you seriously trying to defend this thing's price by arguing that one should pirate it's games?
