@wqerty I keep hearing people talk about the price, but I really don't see it being an issue. Why? Because one will obviously be included with the console, and, while everyone seems to assume it'll support more, I have seen nothing claiming that it does. Has anyone seen any evidence that one can use multiple Wii U controllers at once? I think it'd be technically a problem as well due to the processing power and wireless bandwidth required for streaming the video to the screen on the controller.
@Punkrawk Bbob I'm pretty sure they ARE rebuilding it from the ground up. It's clearly got much better graphics than the original, with higher-resolution models and such, plus the control scheme is entirely different, there have been hints at new features (for one thing, something'd need to replace the rumble pak for certain things), etc. Sounds like it'd take more than a simple port to me.
@DustbinK The main advantage is the interface is nicer than the browser, you can keep games cached for faster load times, and, if i'm not mistaken, you can play them without an internet connection (not a huge deal for most people i guess, but nice if you have a tablet without cellular data or a limited data plan.)
@The Albatross The other difference is you can still download the app, as a .apk file from Kongregate's website, and install it, without hacking your phone.
@The Nth Doctor You don't have to buy the PC version. You can download it from EA's website and then use the same activation code you did for the Mac version, copy over your save files, and play through the PC-only DLC.
I am pretty sure the iPhone has always had 'Gorilla Glass', just it has never been advertised that way. In fact I heard that it was originally designed for the iPhone…
@DoctarPeppar Actually, to get HDMI output, complete with audio, you only need a (about) $13 adaptor that is powered by the MiniDisplay port itself. The most recent apple laptops (like this one) support audio out through hdmi when using a minidisplayport to hdmi adaptor.
@justinpe Well also, what about games that were always meant to be portable? Game Boy and Game Boy Advance emulators are also available for android, and those games were meant to be played on small screens, and are in my opinion much more fun to play than the small selection of mostly puzzle games on the android market.
