If you haven't heard about it yet, Nvidia is working on a handheld system that boasts it will change handheld gaming and blow the other handheld systems out of the water.
Things this system boasts are:
- Tegra 4. The best graphics card Nvidia has to offer as of right now
- A "full sized" controller. Which when you look at it you will see while I put full sized
- A 5-inch 720p retinal multi-touch display. By this I think that mean its also a touch screen so I guess that's cool? Maybe it will be detachable and play simple games like Angry Birds? Imagine 720p Angry Birds, you can see the sadness in their eyes.
- Integrated speakers. Which should be a no brainier I just hope it also has a headphones jack, because if they look over that fact, how will kids avoid paying attention to class AND hear what they're playing.
- 802.11n 2x2 MIMO game-speed Wi-Fi. Which they boast is the fastest on any handheld device and will change handheld gaming forever.
- Android Jellybean. This actually is very relieving, because Apple has a sort of social stigma and from my experience is a pain in the ass to work with, coding wise.
Now for some this is probably some old news, but they relased a youtube video yesterday showcasing exactly what the game can do. And if you notice it will have two graphics settings: Shield-enhanced and standard. The enhanced version has dynamic lighting and physics objects and standard is a basic mobile game. Now I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the standard version is for saving battery but I'm not really sure.
In case you don't want to click the link, here is the video.
