Ahoy young shrimpy! We have yet another compy here and this time you can win one of those sparkly looking K101 Revo devices! This is the successor to the K1GBA only with added RTC, headphone functions and more! This prize has been donated by the folk at K1GBA.
Here is the task to win one of these: You are the designer of a brand new company, a company who could be as big as Nintendo and you decide to enter the handheld gaming market. You need to create a new handheld that will compete against the 3DS & PS Vita. You can design this in anyway you want as long as you don't use copyrighted images or imaged of copyrighted hardware...so no putting a iPhone onto a joystick, ok? You can design this on anything you like, be it an actual model, CGI, Deluxe Paint III on a Amiga or even glass sculpture if you so wish, all we ask is that you make the design clear and add specifications. This isn't a art contest, entries will be judged on how clear they design is and also the ideas implemented. Something original could possibly get more points than something that just packs a load of stuff in it.
No ripping off another designs or ideas, to quote Morrissey "Don't plagiarise or take "on loan", 'cause there's always someone, somewhere, with a big nose, who knows
And who trips you up and laughs when you fall". Anyone who does so will be laughed at forever!
Also seeing that you are designing this as a new company, you cannot state that it can play PS3/Wii/3DS/iOS/Tapwave etc. Also stating what it can emulate is a no no, people can assume that themselves from the specs! However you can have Android, PC, Steam or whatever as they are open to 3rd party manufacturers.
I have made an example which you can see at the bottom of the page, obviously you can be more serious, realistic & descriptive.
You can post entries in this thread, specs can be mentioned either in the image or in the post. The competition will close on October 1st 7PM GMT, winner will be announced shortly afterwards. And with that...I'm off!
Click spoiler for crummy example
Specs:
8GB RAM!
A special "YourMum" graphics card that can process near life like visuals and has extra RAM that does that sort of thing!
Brand new "EyeLenseLike" touchcreen that has no glare and is crisps as someone with perfect vision!
Wi-Fi capabilities so fast, you will run out of things to download!
Sound capabilties as crisp and clear as your very own ears...unless you're deaf I guess.
Touchpad that you can use while gaming as well as computer functions!
Games on cartridges that can hold up to 1TB of data.
Something to do with something you wouldn't understand but its awesome!
