      Same. It'd be sat in the tat drawer before winter sets in, but it looks so appealing!

        Something about the fact it has a mono screen along with a quirky library of small indie games it’s pushing all the right buttons for me. Not a impulse purchase at that price though but I’m still in for one if I can get a preorder. No idea if they are even selling international or it will be a USA only thing.

          They are shipping internationally but all the orders will be coming from the US. They'll apparently be showing what the import duty is up front during checkout though, rather than leaving it as a nice surprise a la Analogue.

          They've also said their intention is for everyone who wants one to get one, so there's no limit on how many they'll manufacture.

            That’ll stop the scalper trash at least, good they are shipping worldwide. Makes it harder to resist putting a preorder in lol.

              This looks like such a cool and cute little hand held console, in a fun retro style… not sure it passes my ‘dragon punch’ pad test though… all new console controllers need to be able to allow a ‘sho-ryu-ken’ move to be pulled off with ease, if it is to be classed as a decent control pad

              But colour me interested…

                What if you held the punch button and cranked a quarter-circle towards the opponent? Game changer!

                  Sounds like it could be the basis for a game for this. `Infinite dragon punch Life' (working title)

                  Synopsis
                  Poor MR122 has played too much Street fighter and now his brain is broken and he can only interact with his surroundings by the medium of the dragon punch. help him complete daily tasks like making some toast by dragon punching bread into the toaster, or using the toilet by dragon punching the lid open, compete this and many other tasks and help him get though his day.

                  Gameplay
                  Winding the handle increase the strength of the dragon punch wind to much and you could over shoot your toast or break the toilet wind to little and you don't get toast and end up with wet trousers.

                            Machine looks like a relaunch Cybiko, which puts me off since the connector pad for my Xtreme broke and now needs to get booze-wiped like Sol Thigh, apparently just not Xtremist enough the losers.

                            In comparison the headphone connector on my old iPod Shuffle, the futurist cowboy chewing gum one, eventually broke. Supposedly it was super-english being made of zinc and brass like a plug socket, so nothing to worry about? So I said to the engineer, okay if I put a backup failsafe on that ****? Because even Luke Skywalker needs help beep boop wedooop?

                            Possibly an act of traitorous bastard, but pull the phones out 3.03 millimeters and it grips like a Terminator on Sarah Connors leg. Then the dsp has some encrypted ASCII, electron-microscope needed to read and apparently elementary schools of the future have these! They're not the size of rooms! Anyway something like ' Listen, and understand. That headphone connector is out there, it cant be bargained with, it cant be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop...EVER, untill you are omfgsquirrel!'

                            I'm proud of myself.
