The GameBoy Phone is real. Is it any good ?

[jamessonic]

Hey there.

I came across said link on an ouya forum. Mobile gaming is missing proper controls.
- They're talking bout a controller/case. Has anyone heard of it, or try it ? I'd guess it's like using a third-party controller. Not an emulator machine.

Outside of emulation, it could be Used with few 100% legit games that allow the end user, to move the given virtual D-pad and buttons around. That's what I intend on using it the least. We are developing a cross platform 2D platformer for PC, Android etc, and i wanna use this case to play it on the go.

Quote of original post:

" Ten-year-old me, beat Super Mario World Advance 2, on the GBA with no problems at all. To this day though, I’ve never even reached world 3 using an emulator, on any phone I’ve ever owned. A PC got’s proper controls, but simply doesn’t feel right to me. On the other hand, yeah, I have paired a Bluetooth controller to my Android phone before, but I love to see you balancing your 5inch phone, or even tablet, on your laps while holding a gamepad, on your daily commute. Everything game-boy-ish is called a hand-held, instead of a lap-top, for a reason!
So this is Turnand’s take on the matter: The smartphone case we’ve created can transform your smartphone into a Game Boy; and trust us, oh it feels good. But no, we are not suggesting that you compromise your smartphone’s usability. In the end of the day, that social-media- feeder / cat-photos- viewer you call my phone, still has to and should always be ready to receive calls and texts. "

I doubt my Lg G Flex 2 will work nicely. The best phone i've gamed on, was the Motorola FlipOut - it was like a blackberry/GBA SP hybrid ! Do you game on your phone ..comfortably?
