Message: [QUOTE="CaptainToad, post: 63454, member: 12933"] Before I looked into it, when it released I was assuming that the B&W, low-resolution, un-backlit screen and the crank meant that it was aimed to be charged with the crank and used little enough power to make that possible. Which is still a bit of a gimmick but would make it a truly portable device. Using the crank in games would charge it too. But it's just an input and the screen is like that for arbitrary reasons. They could have added in a solar panel to also help charge it and as another game input like those Boktai GBA games and stuff. Make a device with all these quirky inputs for game designers to experiment with. What it actually is is so lame. Edit: Could add in an AM/FM tuner and have that as another input like how the old Digivice toys had you place your digivice near electronics that emitted radiation like that to do something (I think it helped power up your dude during evolution?). A lot of cool electronics you could add to a $200 device to experiment with. [/QUOTE]
