Nokia N-Gage

That thing was a friggin' beast. Not only did it have great exclusives like Pathway to Glory. It also hat games like Tomb Raider and Tony Hawk which I believe you couldn't play anywhere else on mobile at the time. On top of that, it had a great OS with a fuckton of options. Many things that people considered to be revolutionary when Apple came around with the iPhone were already possible on the N-Gage. Like installing Apps and all that stuff. I also really liked the idea of having my gaming console and my cellphone in one device.

It didn't deserve to fail so miserably.

Zodiac Tapwave had Tonk Hawk 4. I'm assuming you are not counting the GBA version of a Tony Hawk game (never played myself) But sorry no. That thing deserved the grave it got.  Supposedly the design was based on GOATSE. I am not kidding from a frustrated designer as management kept demanding more and more buttons. Again supposedly.  Nokia was clueless about games and kept bashing Game Boy in hype with the old Nintendo is kiddy nonsense.  The screen was awful. Side talking. You have to remove the battery to insert a game. Also, smartphones date back to the early 90s.
