Soooo.... this has been announced:
https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/playdate-hand-crank/
I really don't quite know what to think of it! I mean, I kinda wish the hand crank actually powered the thing, as that would make it ideal for poorer countries or for camping and travel, etc... as no batteries included or needed, BUT according to the developers it's "a flip-out rotational controller that puts a fresh spin on fun. Some games use it exclusively, some use it with the d-pad, and some not at all."
So it's a gimmick.
That's it.
And, tbh, I can't see what's going to be "fun" about spinning a crank!
Opinions?
