There are a ton of these type of Arduino devices on the market[0], although this one seems pretty featureful. I think for something like this to be successful, it needs to be low cost, open-source, and have strong libraries and documentation for beginners. Products like this also tend to have a small, tight-knit community of enthusiasts. Holding a contest with prizes is often a good way to pull in users. Seems like a very cool project!

There's also the strangely named Lamestation http://www.lamestation.com/ http://www.lamestation.com/ And look, it has a Flappy Bird game!

I'm glad someone mentioned the Esplora, which I have used a couple times now as a control unit for a robot but would work fine with an LCD as a portable game unit. Really, why you would build a game device off an Arduino instead of a Raspberry PI makes no sense to me. A PI is going to run circles around an Arduino at the same cost. I gave my kid a Raspberry PI with an SD Card with Scratch on it. It's a cool way to show how to make games.
