Those who wish can both support the project and pre-order the device by paying $29 through a crowdfunding platform. The estimated delivery date is June 2023.
A library of more than 300 8-bit retro-inspired games is stated to come preloaded on the tiny console.
Another remarkable point is that the device does not come with a built-in speaker or battery. Instead, there are solder points on the back of the device for both the battery and speaker. A portable battery connected to the USB-C port can be used to power the device.
