I lost it at the 8bit powersaving mode. I hope you don't believe that this is genuine.

I've added the original post at the related links.

I gotta admit, I kind of hope Nintendo DOESN"T make a smartphone. Sony and Microsoft lost their ways as gaming companies by not making games the primary experience. Nintendo is the only one who, in my mind, makes true vg consoles these days. A smartphone by nature is not centered on games, it's a digital swiss-army knife.

A Nintendo tablet I would love to see, because it could be centered around games like Nvidia's Shield products. But Sony tried making a games-centered smartphone called the Xperia Play, and it flopped.

Still, I agree with OP that we need more innovators at the executive level. Most of them become corporate dogs when they get that high on the ladder. Iwata was a notable exception, may he RIP

SHUTTUP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!

I never owned any Nintendo hardware, but I'd buy this phone in a heartbeat if Big N actually made it.

They lost an opportunity with the 2DS to make it a general pourpose tablet with enhanced gaming capabilities, but it's not too late. A Nintendo phone running Android would definitely be high at my wish list.
