I tried out this (and WifiBoy ) at Maker Faire Tokyo a couple months back. It's pretty neat tech, but a bit limiting. Ive found PICO-8 to be just limiting enough to still offer excellent games, but this seems a bit more gadgety. Tbh the killer features with any of these retro consoles would be to have a good button feel. The buttons used on these are usually pretty weak. I would be much more excited with a system with a GBA d-pad and buttons. That and maybe something a bit more powerful than an Arduino. The magic of PICO-8 with Lua is that your first lines of code are about the game, not memory book keeping.
