{{Stub}} {{HardwareInfobox |type = Peripheral,Microconsole |image = PocketStation.jpg |platforms = PlayStation |generation = Fifth |manufacturer = Sony Corporation |jp_rel = {{Release|1999|January|23|JP|PlayStation}} |successor = PlayStation Portable }} The '''''PocketStation''''' is [[microconsole]] created by Sony as a [[peripheral]] for the [[PlayStation]]. Released exclusively in [[Japan]] on [[December 23]], [[1998 in video gaming|1998]], it features an LCD screen, sound, a real-time clock, and infrared communication capability. It also serves as a standard [[PlayStation Memory Card]]. Games for the ''PocketStation'' are stored on the same CD-ROM as certain PlayStation games. ''PocketStation'' games can enhance PlayStation games with added features. For example, using the ''PocketStation''. a player may be able to 'level up' characters in one's favorite PlayStation game while riding the bus to work. A player can also download stand-alone ''PocketStation'' games. It allows a player to swap game data between [[PlayStation]] units and also allows multi-player gaming via the built-in infrared data link. Although the system was not released in [[North America]] or [[Europe]], there were apparently plans to do so - a feature on the system appeared in ''[[Official UK PlayStation Magazine]]'', for example, and a few games (such as ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' and ''[[SaGa Frontier 2]]'') retained ''PocketStation'' functionality in their localised versions. As a result, the PC version of ''Final Fantasy VIII'' added a stand-alone ''[[Chocobo World]]'' minigame as part of the installation, which was also available on the [[Steam]] re-release. {{Fifth-Generation Hardware}} {{Sony Hardware}}
