Playdia
Bandai · 1994
Why
It was released only in Japan; it’s rare in our markets, so we don’t set a rarity level. released only in the region JP, not in Europe - no lower than Uncommon. Estimate: exact units produced unknown.The Playdia (プレイディア, Pureidia) (developed under the codename "BA-X") is a fifth-generation home video game console released exclusively in Japan in 1994 at the initial price of ¥24,800. It was intended for a young audience and, like many consoles of the era (such as the LaserActive and the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer), was marketed more as a multimedia home entertainment system than as a dedicated gaming console, with anime quiz software and edutainment making up most of the game library. The Playdia uses a single infrared joypad with simple controls.
