  • 90's ANIME FANS, REJOICE!
    I'm pretty happy to bring you guys this comprehensive video about the Playdia, because it's just so darn weird. Not to mention it's actually a pretty cool looking system.
    (Also, you have no idea how little history/people care about this console. The amount of digging I did for this research borderlines on actual insanity. ...It was not worth it.)
    Hope you enjoy! :)

    I'm always amazed at how many obscure consoles there are that are new to me

    Educational, Home, Console. Three words that should never be combined. Just hearing those out loud i felt a chill through my soul.

    Great video, your production value has come on strides and your screen presence is very natural. Nice job!

    @mattsnyder3358 7 років тому +24

    Another obscure piece of hardware I haven't seen yet, awesome! The company history on BanDai was also something I've never heard before so this whole video is great. Keep up the awesome work Kelsey, just put out videos more often!

    • @KelseyLewin
      @KelseyLewin  7 років тому +21

      Thanks so much! Was a little worried I overdid it with the Bandai history but I think it sorta leads to the "why" they would even think about jumping into a crowded console market.

    • @mattsnyder3358
      @mattsnyder3358 7 років тому +5

      Kelsey Lewin I completely agree, it was a very informative setup for the rest of the story. It's always good to have context to go with obscure items rather than just, "Here's this weird thing." I already can't wait for your next video lol.

    • @kispie
      @kispie 7 років тому +1

      I quite enjoyed the history side of it, lot of information I didn't know. I kinda hope you do more videos that give more history of companies as well that was very well done!

    • @Sin4Profit
      @Sin4Profit 7 років тому +1

      The Bandai history was my favorite part, maybe the history of these kinds of companies could be a new series.

  • @jamesmitt3498
    @jamesmitt3498 7 років тому +5

    This is one of my favorite UA-cam channels. Thanks for all of this info about a system that I didn't know was even a thing. I love to learn about Japanese things so I hope to see more videos like this in the future.

    • @CommodoreFan64
      @CommodoreFan64 7 років тому +1

      Considering a CD-ROM drive for a PC could cost you $200US at the time it was not a bad price all things considering.

  • @ErinPlays
    @ErinPlays 7 років тому +14

    I love your videos so much! Not enough people tap in to the weird/obscure history stuff. I could totally see you doing a video on the Casio Loopy 😄

    • @KelseyLewin
      @KelseyLewin  7 років тому +6

      I've gotten like 4 comments from girls about the Casio Loopy which makes me extremely happy! I've always wanted one so it's definitely on the list of consoles to cover :)

    • @MeanSpiritedDuck
      @MeanSpiritedDuck 7 років тому +1

      Kelsey Lewin you should do a video on the Segarra Master System Girl from Tectoy. I'm sure you have heard of it.

    • @ErinPlays

  • @yang5811
    @yang5811 7 років тому

    Thanks for this very informative video, Kelsey. I always feel like having watched a documentary at the end of your videos due to the high amount of research that goes into them from your side. That's why it's even interesting to see something about an obscure console from decades ago - you know your stuff. Always worth watching!

  • @lancelange9377
    @lancelange9377 7 років тому +1

    A new video from you is always a time to rejoice. You've really come a long way in your presentation. Your videos are now up there with the best.

  • @charleshutton589
    @charleshutton589 7 років тому

    I'd never heard of this, thanks for the introduction. Besides this, you've also helped me learn more about Namco, the Mark III, and Pokemon obscurities. I really appreciate the effort and research you put into your work.

  • @JohnRiggs
    @JohnRiggs 7 років тому +3

    It's cool they repurposed those for arcade. Nicely done! I love the obscure. My kids would love this system.

    • @CommodoreFan64
      @CommodoreFan64 7 років тому

      Only if they can read, write, and speak Japanese, since all the games are in Japanese. lol! Although if you can find the right MPEG1 container it might be possible to use one as a VCD player.

  • @EmulationDojo
    @EmulationDojo 7 років тому +1

    Great video! Very informative, good laughs and overall a very enjoyable history of the console and Bandai to boot. Looking forward to more, as you're only getting better with each you create.

  • @mr79843

    @carlcouture1023 6 років тому

    Most negative reviews of retro consoles: "Should you get it? Well... I can only recommend it if you're a hardcore collector."
    Kelsey: "This is hot garbage. Avoid."
    Not beating around the bush AT ALL. Love it!

    THAT'S THE CONSOLE! That's the console with the Dragonball Z: Plan to Destroy the Saiyans game on it! I've been wondering what console it was from. I haven't seen anyone talk about the Bandai Playdia until now. They re-released Dragonball Z: Plan to Destroy the Saiyans movie on Dragon Ball Z Raging Blast 2, but it was re-animated and lost all it's 90's anime grit. Thanks for bringing this to my attention Kelsey!

    Kelsey, I just saw this “console” sitting on a collector’s shelf and has never heard of it before. (I have a Wonderswan, but this… I had no clue about.) You presented it well and thank you for saving me the trouble of ordering one just so I could ultimately roast it into oblivion on my channel. It doesn’t need to be a waste of my money and time. Haha.

    @MrRoccoMarchegiano 7 років тому +1

    I first heard about this thing when I was about 14ish so around 99 or so. It was a mysterious system no one knew anything about, then I forgot all about, and now Kelsey has it explained. Nice, thanks for that bud.

    I enjoyed the video. It is always nice to learn about obscure consoles. I have been replaying the original .hack// series and I noticed that the characters in the game are eagerly awaiting the release of a new Bandai console called the WonderHawk. It seems they were very optimistic about the WonderSwan's future at that point.

    Good to see some Sentai stuff tied in. I always see people talk Bandai in Japan and focus on just Sailor Moon, DBZ, and Gundam, but gloss over Toku. (You should talk more toku games, like that SNES Carranger game with the exclusive FX Chip)
    I feel like I'd want this for the novelty more than genuine function. Good find

  • @bicycleninja1685
