This wooden portable arcade will convince you to drain your piggy bank


Here at Engadget HQ, we're no strangers to Love Hultén's design prowess. Having caught our eye a few years back with the R-Kaid-6 wooden console, the Swedish gadget maker is at it again -- only this time a mobile arcade option is the project. With the R-Kaid-R, Hultén keeps with the natural materials and adds brass detail work, crafting an all-in-one option that takes on a form factor similar to that of a cigar box. The unit packs an 8-inch LCD display beside a built-in speaker, with the joystick and buttons for wrangling loaded titles down below. In order to get those games on board, R-Kaid-R has USB connectivity and a SD card slot for added storage. So exactly what can you play on this dapper device? System support includes Neo Geo, Atari 2800, Nintendo, Sega Genesis, PlayStation 1 and several others with a hand from a pre-installed OS for around eight hours of play. Those ready to commit €2,499 ($3,419) will benefit from the self-contained system's solid wood housing for protection, with the option of tacking on a leather shoulder bag for transit. Unfortunately, each the five color options won't be available until September, but while you consider draining your savings account, have a closer look in the gallery down below.
