The Bandai Playdia -- Bandai's Educational Home Console

90's ANIME FANS, REJOICE!
I'm pretty happy to bring you guys this comprehensive video about the Playdia, because it's just so darn weird. Not to mention it's actually a pretty cool looking system.
(Also, you have no idea how little history/people care about this console. The amount of digging I did for this research borderlines on actual insanity. ...It was not worth it.)
Hope you enjoy! :)

I haven't seen anyone talk about the Bandai Playdia until now. They re-released Dragonball Z: Plan to Destroy the Saiyans movie on Dragon Ball Z Raging Blast 2, but it was re-animated and lost all it's 90's anime grit. Thanks for bringing this to my attention Kelsey!
