    Mobile Gaming Device

    According to a report by Entertainment Software Association (ESA), 35% of the gamers around the world play mobile games on a regular basis. As Hideki Hayakawa, CEO of the major Japanese mobile games developer Konami elaborates,

    Mobile is where the future of gaming lies. With multiplatform games, there’s really no point in dividing the market into categories anymore. Mobiles will take on the new role of linking the general public to the gaming world.

    Mobile games have never been more popular as a way to kill time and there is today a huge demand for mobile gaming devices.

    Games such as Angry Birds, Temple Run, Clash of Clans, Candy Crush Saga, etc. have transformed the mobile gaming industry.

    There are mobile games for adults and for children. Casino games are available both online and as downloaded apps for adults. With mobile casino games, people get entertained as they sometimes make money. Smartphones and mobile gaming devices have changed the way we look at games.

    NGAGE was the first mobile that was made exclusively for gaming. Sony has rolled out the Vita Slim and Nintendo was not far behind, coming up with the 3DS XL. The competition has never been more intense.

    So what are the main features to look into when buying a mobile gaming device?

    There are essentially 3 main features – graphics, speed, and user experience. Let’s explore each in detail.

    Graphics:

    While there is a lot of talk that gameplay is the most important consideration made by gamers while buying a game, the fact is graphics do matter, now, more than ever. 75% of gamers in a survey felt that graphics played a role in their decision whether to buy a game or not. The best mobile gaming devices are capable of handling games that are graphics intensive and which have a lot of animation. They have more powerful and better processors than before as well as top-rated graphics chips with excellent battery life for supporting extended play time.

    Speed:

    Speed is an important consideration as nobody likes it when there is a lag while playing a game. Some of the improvements have included the use of powerful chips such as the A5 chip, which is used in iPads. The chips used in the best mobile gaming devices have twice as much CPU speed as an older iPhone such as the iPhone 4s. They also come with dual core graphics processors that are 7 times faster than iPhone 4s.

    User Experience:

    The user experience is perhaps the most important consideration when buying a mobile gaming device. This is a combination of several factors. Let’s take a look at them.

    Better and Simpler Controls:

    This means keeping the buttons and controls simple, to streamline and simplify the inputs. Mobile gaming devices have fewer buttons and control options than console controllers, because of which developers have to innovate. Controls have to as intuitive as possible.

    Bigger Screen:

    The best mobile gaming devices have large screens, higher graphic fidelity and a greater field of vision. This is important because many mobile games require the use of on-screen ‘virtual joysticks’ that can be controlled with your thumbs.

    Interruption Settings:

    This means being able to exit the game easily, so as to attend a phone call, and then to be able to pick and play where you left off. Some mobile games devices have this feature.

    Intuitive Sound Settings:

    This involves being able to mute the volume on a mobile device and to silence the game without having to do so manually each time.

    Multiplayer Options:

    You will need the mobile gaming device to offer a multiplayer option, which means having an easy connectivity to an online network so that you can connect with your friends who are thousands of miles away and be able to compete with them or share data.

    Wrap Up:

    So these are some of the factors to consider when buying a mobile gaming device. Now, where can you get the best mobile games for your mobile gaming device?
