DROID X360 brings Android gaming to a completely different Level

Gaming on our Android devices has gotten much better over the last year or so. There have been some amazing games come out from Madfinger, Gameloft, Rockstar and many others. No matter your gaming style, it can sometimes be a bit cumbersome and awkward to play some games that have multiple buttons, especially if your device has a 4-inch screen. Well fear not, there is a solution on the way that we are certain will pique your interest. It is called the DROID X360.

A new Ice Cream Sandwich powered gaming device packed nicely inside a Playstation Vita body. Featuring a 5-inch touch screen, 1.5GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage and a 2MP camera. No, you can’t use this as a phone, but rather a portable gaming unit with oodles of possibilities. In the video below you will see it has access to the Play Store, although we aren’t sure if it is licensed or just added in. We assume that the device must have Wi-Fi built-in in order to connect. The X360 also has HDMI out for playing your games on the big screen.

According to ubergizmo, the X360 is said to come pre-loaded with nine console emulators; Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and Sega Game Gear games. Making a great portable gaming unit with the two analog control sticks, D-Pad, 4 front buttons and the two shoulder buttons. We are pretty sure that a lot of games in the Play Store won’t see optimization for this little device and many that are out now will still be limited to touch controls only. On to the video look that was posted. It is definitely an overseas product, China or Japan, not sure. Not much else to go on like manufacturer, company name or anything else really.

 

Personally I would take one just to run the emulators and play all my favorite games from my past. On to the more important questions though. How much is it and will it come to the states? Right now there are no prices mentioned anywhere, so we can’t help you there. As for it coming to the states, we would say probably not. In the past emulators have had issues staying on the Play Store. Many have been pulled and others have sprung up. Needless to say console manufacturers and game developers aren’t keen on emulators. While the emulator is technically legal, they also promote people to download and pirate games, also known as ROMs. Even though all the emulators are for much older consoles that they don’t make any money on anymore and games for those consoles aren’t being made and sold traditionally anymore. It is still an issue with copyright protection and infringement. If they would just make a market place for us to buy these old titles for a buck a piece then maybe they could still make a little money on dead products.
