The Pokitto looks like a Game Boy and is light enough to hold with one hand.



A big feature of Pokitto is that you can assemble and make the parts yourself. Various buttons and displays are included in the package in a disjointed state, so you need to assemble them yourself before playing.



It seems difficult to ask 'assemble a game console', but you don't need any special tools to assemble it, and you can assemble it in a few minutes using nippers or a Phillips screwdriver. In the following movie, you can see how Pokitto is actually assembled in about 4 minutes.
