Is Android a gaming platform?

Are you stupid?

>playing on a baby screen with a baby controller
Pathetic

What the fuck did he holding?

Controller for ants?

This. It's not like a bought the phone specifically to play games but if I have it anyway why not download some emulators to pass time on the train?

Mobile apps =/= video games

the touch analogs were absolutely useless (also the build quality isn't great - 2-3 years before the screen goes full retard)
Was great for 8-16bit emulators, tho

the fact that mid tier phones have better hardware?
If nintendo made those joycons for mobile and foregoing the switch altogether, they would have made a killing

people have dealt with more compact layouts on n-gage (or any qwerty nokia phone) frankly

phone gaming is like the tranny of video games; Pretends and disguises it self to be something its not and the results show.

The Nintendo Switch was developed by Nvidia, based on their 'Shield' line of tablets/android boxes. The Switch is an Android tablet, in short.

The hardware arms race is wasteful and useless. It only manages to make games more expensive to develop, as well as being out paced by gaming PC within months.

Yeah, cause you replied

Emulation is emulation, retard.
If you honestly think that playing the same game on my phone that I have been emulating on my PC for years is the same as playing games made for the phone then you're just as retarded as I would expect a console owner over the age of 12 to be.

I wish there was a way to upgrade this thing to have better specs and the newest Android version. I have one collecting dust because the hardware is severely outdated

Pretty much. Get an XBOX controller and a stand and you're set with a relatively inexpensive gaming device. The biggest problem with Android is actually finding games. There's a lot of stuff to sort through.

Weird how the Note 9 looks the same as my Note 8. That said I agree. Don't need anything newer at this point.

You can get literally any unlocked phone that has a CDMA antenna in it. My personal favorite has been the Moto G6. You should be buying unlocked phones anyway, fuck carrier phones.

Recently switched to Android and got a Nokia 8. Planning to hold on to this phone for a while.

it doesn't matter, but nearly every half decent phone on the market rn can play switch tier games.
The phones need a controller apparatus and that's it.

Note 9 has a smaller chin/forehead, it's really noticeable when you physically put them side by side. Not worth upgrading, but it is a difference.

Alright, enjoy your chinkphone loaded with spyware, then.

The switch is so successful because people in there early 30s who grew up with video games are now adults with careers and children with little free time who still want to play. It is literally designed for adults to still work video games into there lives.

It went to shit because switch owners can't comprehend what they're reading.

a) mid tier phones do not have better gpus than the tegra x1
b) mid tier phones are still $100 more expensive than a switch.

Note 9 master race reporting.
It is as "future proof" as a cell phone can get, although it fucking should be for $1500.

Can you not emulate on an iphone?

yeah you can I play PS1 games erry day

It's a combo of mobile getting better and people getting comfortable with touch controls

Touch screens suck ass for any games that aren't turn based RPGs. People talk about emulating PSP games on their phone but you either have to suffer with touch controls or carry a bulky controller around

Maybe if your fat ass got your heavy hands off the Caps lock and S screen button and learned to stay on topic and not type like a non functioning retard, then maybe we would have some understanding

I assume you can emulate, it's just Apple's stringent about App development.

Just got one of those, specifically the 2nd model, it's fucking great. Pretty much replacing my hacked Vita now. My only issue is the thumbsticks don't have much legroom but that's not really too different from how the Vita's feel anyway.

Yeah I'm not even sure they have real analog input. Sucks for FPS, but good enough for emulating 2D stuff.

No, it wouldn't.
Nobody ever cared about the PSP or Vita.

Yeah but we're talking about handheld/mobile gaming. Raspberry isn't handheld without a lot of finaggling

Funniest thing is that the switch itself without the dock is a small tablet, NOT a phone.

I just don't think you're going to get quality analogs on a compact controller. I've got pic related as well and they're a bit better. It has analog input, but it maxes out like halfway to the edge of where you can actually tilt them. Way too sensitive.

im running an 3/4 yr old chinkphone. i only got into 'mobile gaming' through emulators.

first game im playing atm is Pokemon Black 2 on Drastic (DS emulator) and it works great. I just wish I could somehow have physical buttons.

These controller add-ons are not an elegant solution and look dumb mostly.
This is prob the best design. Would a normal qwerty keyboard be too cramped?
Plus you could somehow put the front camera on the slide-out bit to go full bezel-less.

Nobody seriously can be this dumb and uninformed.

Yeah I figured but those aren't as easy to fit in your pocket and take on the go. Also I like that the Wee and Daqi let you place your phone vertically as well, it's amazing for DS emulation.

Yep, I mostly use the Wee. The one with a clip fits in a coat pocket fine though and it can fit my phone more easily. I had to get an ultra-slim case for my phone to fit in the Wee because of the vertical height limit and it leaves me feeling like my phone is vulnerable.

It's amazing how much of a hivemind applefags are. Any indication of an android user on twitter sends them into a screaming fit about it.

I just have a Note 3 right now and have had it for 2 years. Should I switch to a Note 9 now or get the Note 10 when it comes out?

if it plays vydia it literally is a gaming platform.

like a real hat?
How did I get these coins? I pirated all those games

I prefer the physical fingerprint scanner and bezel camera of the 9 series, but we don't really know what the Note 10 is going to look like yet so it's hard to say.

Nothing screams "I HAVE AN AUTISM" louder then someone setting up a tablet in public, with a control, to play SNES games alone instead of doing it privately to themselves on there phone and just dealing with shit controls until they get home.

Iphones get support even 5 years down the line while a fucking S7 is already not supported by any official mean.
My 7 year old Iphone 5 is still perfectly functional and almost as fast as it was on the day it came out only thing I had to replace was the battery but thats standard for every phone at this age.
Iphones also have a completely different ecosystem with apps you cant get on the android and it also makes sense to use an Iphone when you have a macbook and other apple products.
Nice fucking phone salesman you are you dont even know basic consumer shit.

>More popular= better
Marvel movies beg to differ

Though technically, it can't be a video game if the game itself isn't a video.
With consoles, the game is rendered and transferred to the television set through the cables to a Video setting. However mobile phones lack any video settings in the first place and lack the cables. Therefore, one must ask the question. Is it really a video game, if there is no video?

nice try DCuck

Still using this phone. Won't change until I find a better phone with a slide out keyboard.

I tried. Some titles from DS were alright, like Ace Attorney series emulated on drastic. Couple of VN for PSP with ppsspp. But overall, even with dedicated controller (I even bought 8bitdo nes pro for it) it's not very comfy. In the end just emulate old games on hacked 3ds. Even bought flashcart for it.

Not really but android is definitely way fucking better for using emulators to play roms, if only because of the way you install apps on android compared to iphone.

A very good idea that caters to what most people wanted in a portable emulator machine but the way that one is designed was very shitty. Not only were the specs outdated as fuck but the actual controls on the thing were low quality phone buttons that were too small, too recessed into the phone's shell, and broke easily (looking at you, L and R) while the touch pad thing that was supposed to be dual analog sticks won't work unless the app specifically has it programmed in and also has just as bad a time registering properly as the New 3DS C-Nipple.

I already have a library of decent to legit good games on my Android account. I don't mind double dipping for a PC port, but I don't think it makes any sense for me to buy a new device so I can play some of the same games I already have on my tablet.

If you did not know, the Nintendo Switch has a bunch of mobile ports, like Danmaku Unlimited, Morphite, and Galaxy on Fire.

Jesus fucking christ that controller gave me carpal tunnel just from looking at it.
