LED Rubiks Cube is Unnecessary Digitisation of a Classic
So I can totally see the point of the new Mirror Rubiks cube, since it’s a harder, weirder, even more tactile version of the classic…but this LED Magic Cube 2.0 version just leaves me scratching my head. Why make a physical digital pushbutton version of an absolute classic puzzle?
Part of the joy of the original was that you could twist and turn it with your fingers, and then heartily fling it out of the window when your frustration levels got too high, and still most likely fish it largely intact from your yard when you wanted to play it again. You can of course do that with this version, but I suspect its myriad of buttons (required to let you twizzle each virtual “segment” around) wouldn’t survive the impact.
You can at least play a couple of other digital games on this: a kind of Russian roulette minehunter for multiple players, a tic-tac-toe game and what could turn out to be a pretty difficult Simon-like game. But in general—nah. Some classics should be left undigitised. [RandomGoodStuff]

Well, you can hate PC golf game if you are a real golfer. The Nitendo basket ball game might be just a joke to a real baseball player. But these electronic games will not replace the original one.
The Magic LED cube is just a LED puzzle toy with Rubik’s game in, NOT ALL FOR Rubik’s cube. So don’t take it too serious unless you sell original Rubik cube. Actually many kids that own it like the “light hitting game” best- Just press the flashed LED to turn it off in time-Not the Rubik cube. They are not old enough to see the Rubik cube!
