Hi,

can someone tell me which one is correct (or neither one):

手提游戏
手机游戏

pretending to be a master in chinese :p, 游戏 means Game (or Games since there is no plural in chinese right?) so i would need to "append" the correct "wording" for mobile. But 手提 seems to mean Mobile/Portable and 手机 means Mobile/Cellular phone.

thanks,
tonecas

you pretty much got the meanings correct.

手提游戏 handheld console (PSP, etc) games.
手机游戏 mobile (telephone) games.

Looking at the search results in Google, looks like 手提 is mostly used on traditional (HK mostly) pages, therefore no baidu index.
