Game consoles that support memory cards

Although this console is similar in name to the original 3DS XL (and even the screen sizes are the same — 4.88 "and 4.18"), it is much closer in terms of characteristics to the "regular" New 3DS, released in the same 2014. Of these characteristics, it is worth noting, first of all, support for 3D graphics (the "calling card" of the whole family), additional controls (including a second analogue joystick), NFC support, in addition to traditional Wi-Fi, 1 GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot. The console has 2 cameras, with the rear equipped with a twin lens for shooting 3D, and the front one has an eye tracking function to optimize the 3D image on the display.

The game is controlled using touch panels, buttons and sticks on the front panel, as well as two touch pads on the rear panel. Responsible for displaying the image is a 7-inch touch screen with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels and a refresh rate of 60 Hz, which provides a clear and bright picture. In addition, the d more→evice can work in desktop mode, allowing you to connect to monitors, keyboards and mice, as well as use other applications such as browsers and word processing programs. Hidden inside the compact Steam Deck is a 4-core, 8-thread AMD APU Zen 2 processor that runs at 2.4GHz and has an RDNA 2 GPU with 8 compute units. The device is equipped with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The internal storage is a 64 GB eMMC class memory card, which, if necessary, can be replaced with a larger version with up to 2 TB, which should be enough for most players.

An advanced game console from the notorious company nVIDIA. Externally, the model looks like a gamepad with a 5-inch folding screen on board, which makes it comfortable in the hands. But at the same time, there is a powerful hardware hardware “under the hood”: a 4-core processor at 1.9 GHz, a GeForce ULP video accelerator and 2 GB of RAM. Of particular note is the ability to stream games from a PC via Wi-Fi, but only computers with an Nvidia graphics card older than the GTX650 model are supported. The device uses Android 4.2.1 as the OS.

A desktop game console that combines the capabilities of a set-top box itself and a network media centre running Android 6.0. The basis of the hardware is the NVIDIA Tegra X1 chip with 3 GB of RAM and a video accelerator for 256 cores, and the built-in drive (solid state) holds 16 GB; however, if necessary, this volume can be expanded with a memory card or a USB drive connected via one of the two USB 3.0 connectors. There are no optical drives, the main source of games for the nVIDIA Shield game console is the NVIDIA GeForce Now network service, the use of which is paid (except for the first months). Through the HDMI 2.0 port, the device is capable of outputting 4K video and sound up to 7.1 more→to an external screen, there are no other multimedia interfaces. But wireless communications are represented by Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.1 modules. The standard package includes a game controller, but the “TV” remote will have to be purchased separately.

Having replaced the original Wii, this model not only continued the traditions of the series, but also introduced several new original solutions. So, the design of the controller actually blurs the line between desktop and portable consoles: it is actually a separate portable console with a microphone, camera and its own 6.2" touch screen, where, if necessary, you can switch the gameplay from an external screen. At the same time the console is compatible with the games and all the accessories of its predecessor.

This desktop console can be called legendary without exaggeration. Completely obsolete in terms of performance, it still remains popular thanks to its unique gameplay: wireless joysticks with accelerometers allow you to simulate the same movements that are used in real life (hitting a tennis racquet, swinging a fishing rod, etc.), but for Due to the huge number of additional accessories, the game becomes even more interesting. Of the technical features, it is worth noting 5.1 sound support and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules.

The bottom screen is made touch, the delivery set includes a special stylus. Additional equipment includes a Wi-Fi module and an accelerometer with a gyroscope.

A high-end portable console, the successor to the original 3GS, retaining its basic principles and at the same time having a number of changes and improvements. The most noticeable external differences are an expanded set of controls (including a new analogue stick) and larger screen sizes — 3.88" and 3.33". In addition, the set-top box received an improved processor, a microSD slot (instead of SD), an NFC, and improved 3D capabilities. Features such as 3D shooting using the rear camera and tracking the user's eyes from the front have been preserved. But the built-in memory has decreased to 1 GB. The console is compatible with older games for the DS family.

The technical characteristics of this portable set-top box are fully consistent with the name: in fact, we have the same 3DS in front of us, and the main difference from the original is the increased size of both displays — 4.88 "and 4.18" for the top and bottom, respectively. Another difference is the bundle, which includes, in addition to the stylus, also a 4 GB SD memory card. Other characteristics are almost identical: 3D playback without special glasses, a camera with a pair of lenses for three-dimensional shooting, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a Wi-Fi module.

A popular portable console introduced by the famous Japanese company Nintendo in 2017. One of the key features of the model is the original form factor, which provides several usage scenarios at once. So, the Nintendo Switch package includes a 6.2-inch tablet, a special docking station and two Joy‑Con wireless controllers. These controllers can be attached to the side faces of the tablet and thus turn the device into a portable console that you can easily take with you on the road, travel, etc. Or you can connect them together to form a full-fledged gamepad, and connect the set-top box to your TV and play in such a way that as if you are using a classic stationary console. It is noteworthy t more→hat when connected to a TV, the resolution of the image displayed by the device increases from HD to full FullHD. In total, up to 8 branded controllers can be connected to one console to play together with friends.

A very advanced portable console, in fact, more like a multimedia centre than a pure gaming device. So, she can play videos, music and photos, has Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth modules, and a set of software includes social networking clients.

It is an upgraded version of the Nintendo Switch handheld console with improved display and sound, as well as more internal memory. The main difference between this model and the original is the improved 7-inch OLED display, which delivers brighter, richer colors and deeper blacks. In addition, the Nintendo Switch OLED features improved built-in speakers for better sound quality and 64 GB of internal storage, double that of the original Switch. The storage capacity can be expanded using a microSD memory card. Unlike the Nintendo Switch Lite, this model isn't exc more→lusively portable, as it has detachable Joy-Con joysticks that allow the console to be used in various modes: handheld, desktop, and paired with a TV. The device is based on the same hardware platform as the original Nintendo Switch and can run all the games available for the old model. In addition, it supports online games and Wi-Fi connection with other consoles.

A portable game console, in fact, a modification of the advanced 3DS model, created with the expectation of simplification and corresponding reduction in price. The simplification affected primarily 3D capabilities — none of the 2DS screens are capable of reproducing 3D (although the camera for creating three-dimensional images has not disappeared). Another difference is the clumsy body. The rest of the characteristics of the device have not changed much: two displays with the same dimensions (3.53 "and 3.02"), a Wi-Fi module, an accelerometer with a gyroscope, flash-based memory (2 GB) plus a card slot. The package includes a stylus and a 4 GB card.
