The only thing I know of was from Sony Ericsson, and Sony basterdized that product as they did not want to give Ericsson any in to SNE. They initally were going to put PSOne classics on that phone, but they would not be supported through PSN. Then PSN was supposed to make its way to the phone, and that ended up turning into PSM, and then that took over a year to arrive. So far no one has went in with full support behind a Gaming Smartphone. No major franchise titles exclusive, no standardized hardware for 3rd parties, nothing in the form of a handheld smartphone crossover. If Nintendo brought this to the market with their own OS, had the basic apps (Google Maps, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, ect.) and made exclusive Pokemon, and Mario games for it, they would sell 30M units a year. There are plenty of people out there begging for this product, but only if it is a true effort from Nintendo, SCE, or MS Xbox division. |
This is the one I was talking about (and also probably the one you talked about). As wikipedia put it, "The Xperia Play,(stylized Xperia PLAY and codenamed Zeus) is a handheld game console smartphone produced bySony Ericsson." (When I said Sony earlier I should have said Sony Ericsson, but I rarely use that name now). As I said, it never really became that playstation phone everyone wanted, sadly.
I have imagined what a Nintendo phone would look like myself to be honest. I would have used the same design as the Xperia play, but in between the buttons I would have had a second screen. And the buttons would be the same as on 3ds. I'm not sure if it's possible to make such a phone so it's still a good, powerful one without being too expensive though.
And I completely agree with the bolded part.
