The 'Small Universe X Sugar Cubes' Handheld Has A Rotating OLED Screen

These concept designs are all nice and well, like that super slick metal one someone did last year, but they will almost certainly never make it to market. People like me want either a psp go type design or a gba sp design for portability factor, and that's what these sort of slick weird designs should be aiming for. People who want the dmg experience don't want joysticks and rotating screens, in my experience.

"The catch is that, with an aspect ratio of around 10:9 and a resolution of 1240×1080, there's actually no point at all in the screen rotating, as it's almost a perfect square."

there fixed it 😊

whats amazing to me, is that no one seems interested on copying the wonderswan design, for wide vs "tate mode" type orientation, just by rotating the system in your hands. 🤔

@-wc- The Evercade EXP does that. It's a neat idea for sure.

@Brensin

hey, thanks for pointing this out!

do you have one if these, personally? I've always been curious about them, and ive never seen one in person... but I've never been more interested than I am as of now! 👍 thanks again

PS - technically switch can do this, but the only game with which ive personally used a switch this way was downwell. worked perfectly!

The rotating screen is useless if the after and before rotating is the same square screen

@-wc- I have it, it's pretty good actually, I like collecting cartridge with manual and the console itself is pretty cool. And it's pretty good for arcade games with tate mode too

@wiiware

hey thanks for that, and with pictures no less! I really appreciate it.

btw how are the dpad/buttons? this is probably the most important factor for me.

also how does it feel in "tate mode?" pretty top heavy id imagine, but i could probably live with that.

thanks again 👍

you know, if there were original games developed for it, and rotating the screen was tracked as an input (anyone remember "Blast Chamber?") or if games could be designed to be played in "45 degree angle mode," i could see some gameplay ideas coming from this. 👍

but, in that case, id want the screen to be perfectly square. 😬

@-wc- The dpad button is good, it's smooth and feels like arcade stick, it's pretty good for fighting games like street fighter 2 (included in the console), I can do fireball move with ease. I still prefer psone dpad for fighting game though.

It also good on 2D games, I have no problem playing arcade games like final fight & captain commando (included), and indies games like full void and alwa's awakening using this dpad.

And yeah, it's pretty top heavy in tate mode, I don't recommend playing in tate mode while walking in the street, one push and the console will fall lol.
