Solatrix, a next generation handheld console [April's Fools]

NB: Clarification at the bottom of the article.

For several years, we have been developing in great secrecy a project of unprecedented ambition.

This is not a game, nor a game engine or even a game creation software. This time we went further.

We are proud to officially unveil the Solatrix, a revolutionary handheld console dedicated to games built with the Solarus engine!

Edit:

Obviously, it was an April's Fools. But it is not impossible to build. Actually, it is quite feasible. The console we use to make these pictures is this one, by Rasmushauschild, so congrats to him for making such a beautiful console. It works with the RetroPie distribution, which is a distribution specialized in retro-gaming emulation. And as you may know, Solarus works now on RetroPie! The last missing thing is the little "Solatrix" sticker, but you can print it with the logo above. So now you can build your own Solatrix console!
