You can buy Gameboy-lookalike devices in any toystore for a few bucks. I personally don't understand the rage, although I must admit that I was never a big fan of computer games to begin with.

Most of these are too hard to deal with. Also developing for these devices is a huge pain the ass.

Im excited for this device because its taken game dev as a first citizen. This toy looks to be more about game dev than it is about game play. While play is important part of the eco system that market is soo saturated from AAA billion dollar companies all the way to obscure Gameboy-lookalike devices.

But game dev, and particularly game dev for a device is still a difficult and underserved (I hope for the success of this company) market.

I've said this before, but if they treat this like a physical fantasy console, then judging by the success of pico 8 I don't think they'll have much of an issue with success.
