The Playdia (プレイディア, Pureidia?) (developed under the codename "BA-X"[2]) was a video game console released exclusively in Japan in 1994 at the initial price of ¥24,800.[3] It was intended for a young audience with anime quiz software and edutainment making up most of the game library. The Playdia uses a single infrared joypad with simple controls. Bandai was the only software publisher to support this console.
