No, it doesn’t seem likely that this will be the enclosure for the new Amiga, since the new motherboard was designed in that gigantic/cumbersome/bloated/(insert_favourite_pejorative_here) form factor otherwise known as ATX...

“Wait a minute! A new Amiga?? Joking or what?” – you say. Well, apparently not, it seems something is being worked on. If you don’t like teaser sites, just add a /6.html to that url.

Anyway, back to the case: I’m sure a lot of folks hate it, but I just think “total retro coolness” by looking at it! Here’s what I’d change though:

• Lose the floppy disk drive? It is useless nowadays, although actually it  does add to the retro style of it.
• Have all needed USB, headphone and whatnot ports on the sides.
• Make thiner keys, no need for those huge blocks.
• White keys? hmm…no thanks, I remember my A1200 keyboard getting a somewhat disgusting look as soon as they started to turn gray with dirt

Anyway, I’m looking forward to see what they’ll come up with.

So, do you see yourself buying a new Amiga anytime soon?

Or may rule, as soon as it gets released. Here are 3 reasons to like the Pandora:

1. Dual analog joysticks. This one seems such an obvious overlook in the likes of the PSP and DS, it’s hard to believe. Maybe Sony is still betting on it’s spectacularly ridiculous DualShock on PSP thing??  I mean, that’s the no.1 control method on the two decent consoles available (no, I don’t count the Wii as a decent console), it’s about time we have it on a portable console. Plus, it makes such a perfect target for my game
2. Major computing power. Should totally kick PSP’s ass all over the place. In theory.
3. Open development. Power to the homebrew guy! It’s the return of the bedroom coder!

Still, we’ll have to see how well it fares ‘out there’. Being technologically superior doesn’t guarantee you success, but that’s old news.

Welcome! First post ever on this here blog. So, to let you know a bit about this place: Kiritsu Games is a game development project started by me, Ruben Monteiro, your humble host. The goal is to create good games. Period. So what’s unique about that? Well for one, the plan is to support some alternative (another nice name for obscure) platforms such as the OpenPandora, or AROS. If that sounded like greek to you, know that our games will come out for PC as well.

Thanks for visiting and come back often!
