Why this is great

• The crank isn’t just a gimmick. In many games, it’s a fully-fledged, intuitive control.
• Monochrome charm. The 2.7-inch 1-bit screen delivers super-sharp pixels and displays a low-power clock when you’re not playing.
• A vibrant indie ecosystem. You’ll find hundreds of titles on Catalog, with new games being added all the time.
