Playdia

Background
The Playdia is an interactive video game console manufactured by Bandai under the codename "BA-X", and released exclusively in Japan in 1994, dubbed as a "quick interactive system". The games of the console were similar to interactive movies, mostly for infotainment and edutainment purposes, utilizing 32-bit full motion video technology - its library notably contains several licenses from large-selling anime and tokusatsu franchises including Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, and Ultraman. A simple, wireless infrared controller is used with the console. Production of the console has discontinued in 1996, with remaining units later re-purposed by Banpresto for kinetoscope machines. Its successor was the failed Apple Pippin that Bandai co-developed.
