Gionee S20 and V9 Mobiles Play SNES Games
Jeremy Gutsche — June 15, 2007 — Tech
Play SNES Nintendo games on your mobile phone with the Gionee S20 or V9. The phones include a Super Nintendo emulator, which lets you play pretty much any game made for that system. You can also plug the phone into a TV for playing games or watching movies.
Oh Gizmo describes the specs, "The S20 (white) includes a slideout keypad for dialing and text entry while the V9 (black) uses a larger touch screen instead of a physical keyboard. However both phones do include a special 4 way directional pad on the bottom and A & B buttons on the top since the SNES games are meant to be played in a landscape orientation. Each one also includes a 2MP camera, 128Mb of internal memory and a microSD card slot. "
