In the latest entry, players can use real money and in-game currency to purchase unique gestures. One of these emote-like actions is called \u201cMobile Ops\u201d. Using this action during a match will have your character pull out a portable game system and start playing it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"COD EMOTE IMG\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/295cb7710ea78\/cod-emote-img.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/295cb7710ea78\/cod-emote-img.900x.jpg\" alt=\"COD EMOTE IMG\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>According to a post on ResetEra, this portable device is apparently a tribute to the Nintendo Switch. As you can see in the first image, it\u2019s matte black, has two analogue sticks, a control pad, shoulder buttons and four circular buttons. We would go to the extent of saying it even looks somewhat similar to an earlier <a class=\"enlarge\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2011\/06\/nintendo_to_update_wii_u_prototype_hardware_in_coming_weeks\/attachment\/0\/large.jpg\">Wii U GamePad prototype<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The game featured on the device is <strong>Dead Ops Arcade 2: Cyber&#8217;s Avengening<\/strong>, a playable retro-style game from past Call of Duty entries. Disappointingly, it\u2019s not directly playable on this device. It\u2019s sad to say, but at this rate, this might be the closest we ever get to seeing Call of Duty on the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you agree think this is a subtle reference to the Switch?
