In the current state of gaming and smartphone tech, Nintendo has been mostly falling behind its competitors.
The concept for the Nintendo GP is based on the hype the company generated on people back when the original Nintendo Gameboy was released on the market. Now, at the time of smartphones and gaming apps, it might be time to recreate that emotion.
To be noted, this is just a concept idea. All rights are reserved to Nintendo Co.
To maintain the name intact, the original form of the Gameboy was thoroughly analyzed. It was also considered the new forms adopted by Nintendo, such as the Wii U GamePad curves.
The final idea was rendered. A double-screen phone that hides the personality of the first portable console by the company. Some of the new technologies were obviously considered, such as the soft plastics on which the new joysticks are made of, or the current polycarbonates used in smartphone bodies.
The phone is also made to be retro-functional. That is, it also works with Nintendo Gameboy Advance and DS/3DS cartridges. But the main concept would be for the company to stablish a new market of old games brought back to life by online purchase. That way, materials are saved, and new users can experiment what it felt back in the old days.
