Lenovo's i909 NES gamer makes our hearts beat at 8-bits per operation

Well, well, would you look at that, Lenovo's i909 gaming phone. Oh the specs are ok -- 2 megapixel camera, microSD, and 2.4-inch, 262k color, QVGA display on a 15.5-mm candybar -- but it's the on-board NES emulator and snap-on D-pad which has our attention. Sure, we've seen these mashups before, but they never do get old, eh Game King? China only, for now.

I agree with Matthew here. Ew...

[Technex @ Nov 16th 2007 12:12PM]

Agreed also. Didn't the ngauge fail at this a while back?

[lo-kii @ Nov 16th 2007 12:21PM]

thats hideous... whos going to carry around a game pad? thats ridiculous
i mean why not build in some sort of ergonomic keypad into the phone or something at least useful.
bleh.

why not just carry gba micro?

[Jeff @ Nov 16th 2007 12:38PM]

Why not do it right like Captain N and the N-Team and strap a controller to your belt and stroll the streets with your bright red nintendo blaster!

Game King? The famously crappy and cheap handheld system?

I'll stick with PocketNesterPlus on my Q- then it isn't so obvious that my phone is a toy. :)

[p3ngwin @ Nov 16th 2007 1:02PM]

so...an add-on that's bigger than the bloody phone...?

WTF?

as someone said...cary the gameboy micro, smaller than the phone add-on and much better!

This can't be the same company that makes the Thinkpad laptops now.

[mtuch @ Nov 16th 2007 3:00PM]

Looks like they got a deal on some leftover green paint from Microsoft's X-Box division....

[deniz @ Nov 16th 2007 3:32PM]

that is actually a good idea

[01 @ Nov 16th 2007 5:24PM]

Wow, twice as big as my PSP or DS!

[aron @ Nov 16th 2007 6:19PM]

I'm fairly certain this is a 3rd party add-on. Notice the complete lack of Lenovo badging on the plug-in, plus, a different shade of green. Not to mention, most reviews (which were of a black I909) didn't have any mention of the controller, despite mentioning NES emulation.

I usually dont comment on posts, but this is way too ugly for me not to say anything!
