The panic continues another showcase Playdate on October 31st for the portable console and you can watch it via the company’s YouTube page. We’ve released the stream below for your convenience. The developer promises to focus on upcoming games for the little yellow console, in addition to updates of released titles and “a few more surprises.”
The live stream begins at 1:00 PM ET. Previous showcase events lasted around 40 minutes, giving the company plenty of time to detail a range of new crank-powered gems. This stream also marks the start of the second Playdate Catalog Sale, which runs from October 31st to November 14th.
Panic says more than 160 games will be available, including popular titles Root bear, P-Racing, Echo: Oracle Scroll and Zero Zero: The Perfect Stop. Some of these games will be available at the lowest prices ever. Previous sale it was an absolute blessing for those who want to earn wishlists.
For the uninitiated, the Playdate is a retro-style portable console that looks kind of like an OG Gameboy. It’s bright yellow and has a hand crank function that is used as the main control input in many games. We I love things and called it an “inspiration machine” and “the future of game development”. There are hundreds indie games available for consoleand many of them are quite good.
The only bad news? The Playdate console itself is currently on back order. Shipments for new orders won’t start going out until December at the earliest.
