At least the left analog stick is in the right place.

 

[Father_Brain]

So... another portable aiming to deliver console-quality gaming on the go?

 

[Quicksilver4648]

My prediction: Nvidia announces this at CES and we never hear about it again. Unless this things launches at $50 I am about 99% sure this thing will fail.
But hey, maybe I am just super pessimistic and this takes the world by storm.

 

[IrishNinja]

yo im gonna go kickstart something, brb

 

[backlot]

This thing is the Xboy.

Yeah. Odd how they chose that color scheme.

 

[tsumineko]

Holy shit, sent to die.

 

[Kincaido]

Looks ugly.

 

[Fusebox]

This could be a killer portable emulator if it's genuinely open source.

 

[Dion Blaster]

Pretty interesting actually, could be really cool.

It's weird to see the birth of a new gaming device.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Xbox 180

I'd dump nvidia stock if I had any, I don't see the point of this

 

[antonz]

Not trolling, just curious, what high end games are available on Android?

Its basically Nvidias attempt to curb stomp the ouya. Though Ouya is probably going to be 1/5th the price

 

[neptunes]

A lot more than people think

 

[odhiex]

That thing is huge... and Tegra 4.

Ouya?? how's that now?

 

[Croc]

Sounds cool but





that's literally worse than the worst design I could have come up with for a handheld.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This could be a killer portable emulator if it's genuinely open source.

Could be awesome for the right price for the enthusiast.

 

[tsumineko]

I'm calling it, 2013-14 is period in which videogaming crashes again.

 

[Ashler]

Yeah, bring on another market crash.

Indeed.

 

[Hypron]

Is it me or was Hawken in the list of games? O_O

 

[Deleted member 17706]

A lot more than people think

What a glorious answer.

 

[ZeroAKA]

So does this only run Android apps or will it have exclusives?

 

[Reiko]

Can it run Crysis?

 

[whitehawk]

4K video! I told you guys it was the future!

 

[RM8]

That's gargantuan for a handheld. I don't think you could sell me one of these and I love handhelds.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Hawken for Android...this is news to me.

Edit: Wow he has no idea how to play games.

 

[Christina Mackenzie]

Holy shit!

 

[alfredofroylan]

Any game announcment with the handheld???

 

[Derrick01]

Already a more legit platform than ios.

But honestly this feels like the 90s again when there were a few real platforms and a ton of crappy competitors.

 

[Mushroomer25]

So, what is this thing actually running? Android developers aren't going to do anything exclusively for chips past the Tegra 3 (since that's what the Galaxy S3 is packing, and that's the biggest name in Android right now.). And a Tegra chip for PC gaming is laughable.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

On-screen buttons... eh?

 

[Toki767]

This must be the last surge of individual hardware before that one console future.

 

[Cameron122]

Arma Tactics?

 

[godhandiscen]

Is it me or was Hawken in the list of games? O_O

Yes it was.

 

[Kagari]

lol, wow that thing is ugly.

 

[WalkMan]

Sup.

 

[Erethian]

Well if you're going to burn money you might as well be inventive about it.

 

[hatchx]

Why release a portable gaming device with the wait they have been going?


Someone just make a little shell that smart phones can 'click' into with buttons. That is all that is needed.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

If only Wario64 wasn't banned

(lol)

 

[Fusebox]

I like the idea of playing a game on the bus home, walking in my front door and hooking this controller/console up to my TV and continuing the game from where I was on the big screen with 5.1.

 

[Dimitri2401]

What is that thing? Come on Nvidia...

Gs3 uses an Samsung made chip. Nexus7 is like the only good selling tegra device.

 

[whitehawk]

Wait a second... This thing would be the perfect emulator machine...

 

[JDSN]

Why are people calling it a portable?

That is many things, but a portable aint one of them.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

If this happens to come out, I think it will sell 1/4 of what the Vita is selling now.... And I'm being optimistic.

 

[OnPoint]

I'm curious to see better pictures.

 

[Blearth]

A dedicated handheld in 2013? WTF is Nvidia smoking?

 

[Roto13]

Holy shit, sent to die.

It hasn't been sent anywhere yet.

 

[Nilaul]

yo im gonna go kickstart something, brb

What your kickstarting?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

HAWKEN PORTABLE MEGATON

 

[pizzapizza64]

It really might, especially the AAA big console market. I think indie stuff will thrive, though, perhaps especially on the Valve console.
