While Nvidia hasn't announced anything new at Mobile World Congress 2012, a slew of new games have arrived for Tegra 3-based devices. This is part of an effort to highlight how Nvidia's latest SoC is the only one in its field to offer a true gaming experience. To that end, Nvidia's doing a pretty good job. When it comes to eye bling, Nvidia reigns king in the world of mobile computing and it's showing through the number of game developers who are exclusively leveraging Tegra 3 hardware.
According to Nvidia, "these games didn’t come to Tegra 3 by accident. We’ve been working with these leading mobile game developers for over six years to hone and refine their wares. Tegra 3, with four performance processing cores, in addition to its fifth battery saver core, and a 12-core GeForce GPU, is putting console games on notice…"
The following is a list of games being announced:
- Golden Arrow THD
- Dark Kingdom THD
- Eden to GREEEEN THD

omega21xx I didn't think phones would shadow the PSVita this quick, but it's to be expected when something is highly optimized. Now we just need more bluetooth/usb compatible joysticks to make these games worth playing.Reply -
omega21xx frozonici didnt know FPS games for phones had such good graphicsReply
Yeah, ShadowGun is the FPS they show in that video and it can be played on current tegra 2 phones, theres cracks that allow it to work on adreno gpu's as well. Gorgeous game for a phone. -
alyoshka Somehow gaming on the phone always gives me the creeps, it get's me scared that the keys might get ruined 'cos after all it is a phone.Reply -
therabiddeer Main issue I have is the controls for phones. Touchscreens arent too great to me... graphics look good though.Reply -
kyuuketsuki Yeah... the lack of dedicated buttons and analog sticks are still a big negative for phone gaming.Reply -
knowom People nit picking about the controls are being over critical. You have a phone/tablet with bluetooth, usb, and hdmi and your moaning about the controls? It also happens to have multi touch display in your hands like recently announced, but unreleased Wii U.Reply
So basically you can take your pick from bluetooth peripherals like wii and ps3 peripherals just so happen to be along with usb ones like xbox and pc happen to be. On top of that you can display it via HDMI to a HDMI device and with wifi you can remote desktop it to a pc in a different room to your HDTV for example. Hell if you have 2 one can be used as a Wii U style multitouch peripheral and the other to stream to the HDTV.
You might even be able to setup softh and remote desktop to it honestly for extra resolution and multitouch control functionality for your desktop pc.
