thinking Nintendo Phone?

For: IGN

Nintendo has been admiring Apple for a while now, borrowing ideas, aesthetics, and lowercase "i's" from the computer company for several years. Apple recently announced the iPhone, but a patent filed by Nintendo in 2001 indicates the Japanese giant was well ahead of Apple on this one.

engadget imobile has found a patent for a Nintendo Phone. Initially filed in 2001, and issued just last June, the patent describes an "electronic apparatus having game and telephone functions," and details how the device would pause a game for an incoming call and resume after the call was completed.

Of course, big companies file patents and trademarks on an almost daily basis, and the chances of the Nintendo Phone coming to fruition are slim to none. But seeing patents like this always makes us wonder what else Nintendo has been working on that we don't know about??

Re: Nintendo Phone?

This would be pretty cool, especially if it allowed you to play NES games from the Virtual Console.

I doubt Nintendo would make a phone shaped like a taco.

Re: Nintendo Phone?

...I would buy it no matter what. Being such a massive Nintendo fan, I have to say that taking large steps like Apple is a great idea, Nintendo could sell a lot of phones in Japan and it could easily be a big hit over in the UK aswell. Apple are such an innovative company and they do such daring things, most of which have come off. So I for one would love to see Nintendo release a phone, also, i'm looking forward to an Apple iPhone coming soon, i'm going Japan on April 5th, so i'll try and get news on it.

Because when has mobile gaming not sucked? And when it comes to the phone who are Nintendo to be making a phone? Then while it might not be shaped like a taco I called it a Nintendo-Gage because it sounds like the exact same thing. And knowing Nintendo they could probably manage to make a worse shape than a taco out of it. :gdevil:
