Panic has been developing software for Mac and iOS for many years, but in recent years has been working on developing game software such as ' Firewatch ' and ' Untitled Goose Game '. A new challenge is the development of a completely new game console, the one born of which is 'Playdate'.
The terminal design looks like this. It looks like a retro based on yellow, with a cross key and A / B button at the bottom of the display, a speaker and a button next to the display, a power button like on the top of the body, and a handle on the side. You
A feeling of this size when holding it in the hand. The display is a low power consumption liquid crystal display with 400 x 240 resolution made by Sharp, and it is a 'very sharp and clear display' without grid lines and blur. The back light is not built in, so it seems that you need a light to play in the dark.
Panic has contacted the game creators Takahashi Keita , Zach Gage , Bennett Foddy , and Shaun Inman , and asked them to create a game for Playdate, creating a total of 12 games. The 12 titles will be distributed to players over 12 weeks.
There are movies that you can actually see when you play the game on Playdate. The following movie is 'Crankin's Time Travel Adventure' which is one of 12 titles included on Playdate. Aside from the cross key and the two buttons, it seems that the game can not be cleared unless the handle is used skillfully.

In addition, some of the 12 games included in Playdate use the handle portion in a creative way, and some do not use it at all.
The Playdate is priced at $ 149 (approximately 16,000 yen) and will ship in early 2020. We will start accepting reservations in the latter half of 2019.
