Somehow they invented a non-portable handheld device. It doesn't even have a battery! Was there really no way to make these games work offline? Or at least some of them?
Edit: I'm wrong, it both doesn't need wifi and has a battery. Website text wasn't phrased too well but that's partly on me.

It has a battery, it doesn't come with a wall wart or other device to drive power over the provided USB cable to do the charging. Specs are on this page: https://help.play.date/hardware/ https://help.play.date/hardware/ With regard to wifi, I think they worded that poorly. It has no other network connection (not even bluetooth to connect to your phone or computer, though bluetooth will be eventually capable of supporting audio) for receiving updates and new games. You won't need that in general unless the specific game or device feature (like system updates) you're using requires a network connection.
- lucasmullens 5y agoThanks, judging by the thread I'm not the only one who got confused by that. Thanks for the clarification.
