History of video games/Platforms/Kano Pixel

Introduction The Kano Pixel represents an interesting take on minimalism in a handheld device. The device is interesting in that the sorts of games on it are less constrained by its processing power, but by the limitations of other parts of its hardware instead. While not explicitly marketed as a console, the device does have a dedicated game function on its dial, and is commonly used for gaming, and is thusly included in this book.
