Apple Vs Orange (PS Vita) and... Nintendo wins

What? A smart phone vs portable gaming device? Are you nuts? Well, apparently Electronista.com thinks that Apple should be worried about competition 'to a slight degree'. But is it a valid argument to start with?

If we look back 3 years ago, some dude mentioned that iPhone is a gaming console. In 2011, Apple rewarded these games with the 2011 Apple Design Award. Then we look at some features of PS Vita shown here (Disclaimer: I didn't watch it because I wasn't interested in Sony). Now compare these two with 3DS and Wii U.

Now, I've mentioned Wii U, even though it wasn't a portable gaming device, because of this article. To clarify, Miyamoto of Nintendo has explained that Wii U is not a tablet. There's no need to zoom in and out of the 6.2" screen because you play with a real TV screen. So if you're bent on zooming, you should consider mobile gaming instead.

That brings back to my point. Is the argument valid? Well, it is if you consider the demographics of people who plays mobile games, console games and portable games are EXACTLY the same.

We all love to play Mario, Pokemon, Silent Hill, Portal, Call of Duty, Angry Birds and Love Plus. All of them.

Then in this case, both Sony and Apple should start worrying about Nintendo then. Not sure why? Well then, here's some videos showing:

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater which was on PS2 and will be available on 3DS, PS3 and Xbox 360.

And because I'm a hardcore fan of Legend of Zelda, here's the newest trailer for the series newest installment, Skyward Sword:

Waiting impatiently for the release of Skyward Sword from the Biased blog. Peace out.

Crush 3D Will Show You The Transition Between 2D To 3D [Gaming]

Please don't crush our hope for this one.

Puns aside, the PSP version was quite well-received when released, showcasing an interesting puzzle-platforming gameplay converting from 2D landscapes to 3D.

But of course, what's 3D without stereoscopic 3D? Call it a cheap port/lazy sequel if you would, but I believe given the extra power on the 3DS, Sega could easily add new elements and improve on the visuals and audio. Most importantly I would want to see how they present a transition from 2D to 3D. It would be really impressive if they totally destroy the 3D effects in 2D mode to epmhasize the stereoscopic 3D.

So please, Sega, produce something that would crush our wallets.

PSP Go Officially Killed By Sony, Reincarnates As Xperia Play [Gaming]

Definitely a no-go from the start.

From the day this baby was born, it was bound to failure. An overly-expensive device labelled with the "PSP" trademark but unable to play PSP games, all download-only titles with insane prices. More like a crippled PSP, I would say.

I do not think anybody in the whole wide world would be surprised the PSP Go died this fast in its lifespan. Especially after Sony announced their Xperia Play which has more reasonably-priced download-only Android games and can be used as a phone while taking advantage of the phone capabilities.

Rest in peace in overly-rich Sony fanboys' drawers, nobody would feel as though the world lost something. Probably only gaming websites' "Top 10 Gaming Hardware Failures" articles would remember you, together with Virtual Boy, which, sadly, actually sported more innovation.

Oh but it's a cool-looking paperweight though.
