RockIt Twist is a rotatable, handheld game system that offers a totally unique way to play exciting video games with light-up controls that surround the screen. During game play, one of the eight game controls will light up to indicate when each control is needed throughout a game. Kids can also nurture three adorable virtual RockIt Pets that hatch and grow from eggs. Since there’s no need for Wi-Fi, kids can play anywhere. They can also listen to their own music with the built-in MP3 player. A built-in rechargeable battery, volume controls and a headphone jack are also included.
For even more exciting new game play, six additional game packs (sold separately) include more games, plus a new virtual RockIt Pets and physical RockIt Pets figure to match. Game packs feature popular themes such as baking, animals, dinosaurs and more.
