Your phone is not even a better gaming machine then a super nintendo.

Fire Emblem Heroes is a thing so you could say it can play Nintendo game with it.

Y'know, I just now remembered Playstation controllers have four buttons for the D-pad like Switch. Does that mean Sony has never had a "proper" D-pad? Definitely didn't seem to keep them from being successful in any way.

The difference is those 4 buttons are actually one solid piece of plastic underneath the shell where as the switch controller is 4 separate pieces though by far the vita still has the best dpad to date.

Cool, now it just has to emulate Switch games.

 

[Hambrew]

Atleast it's not from Crapple.

But would it be better than the Xperia Play? I dont think so..

I still have that phone I bought it on day one. it is sad that sony didn't make next gen of it.

I wonder how long the battery would last, if the phone had to play a game like Mario Odyssey or any other console game.

Not saying mobile games are bad, but that phone simply doesn't play the same games as the Switch does.

I find it funny reading this thread with all the people praising the switch while forgetting its guts are just a converted Nvidia shield tablet. Phones hands down more powerful than the switch in every way, the switch is just recycled tablet parts.

But like others have said, it's the games that matter when you're talking about a gaming platform.

Typical Chinese company PR bullshit.

Chinese will soon dominate the industry.

ITT: a lot of ignorance.

If you don't know it, phone gaming in China is on the rise. More importantly, several mobile games came out in the last few years that just really want to be in the esports community. One of these games is Arena of Valor, a very popular MOBA mobile game that was recently launched on the switch. A comparison was inevitable.

Also, while a lot of games on phones are shit or don't need physical buttons, don't forget that a lot of developers are afraid to make something decent for mobile because of the outstanding piracy numbers on Android. Imagine a game like Mario Odyssey for a platform where 9 people out of 10 downloaded an apk instead of purchasing the game.


Overall, this seems to be targeted to those into esports. The mobile esports are growing fast so the success of this phone isn't that impossible.

Oh wait you're serious let me laugh harder. falls to the floor in hysterics. thinking a phone is a game console, what next a phone that allows sexual favors and rewards with bitcoin? grow up mobile phone users consoles are for gaming not phones you morons!

NEW HUAWEI PHONE will be sold presumably 799 AT LAUNCH, meanwhile Switch costs only half 329, i think this they made a terrible joke instead.

The first model was terrible and the second one was doomed from the start because the Nintendo DS and PSP were out

 

[Deleted User]

I predicate immense failure.

Not about the hardware always about the games.

 

[wiewiec]

One is true that Nintendo always do some crazy idea like giving 720p screen that was outdated as hell
