We still never got DQX. Wonder if they gave up on the U.S. market. Again.

Yeah, because there totally aren't other games besides Cut the Rope on mobile devices.
By "causals", he means:

DoDonpachi Resurrection;
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions;
X-Men: The Arcade Game; and
anything else that was not developed in the 1980s and 1990s by Nihon Falcom. :lol:

EDIT: Hold on a minute...Bone...Did you know that this exists?!

Ah so once they port Ys to mobile, gaming on a tablet will be "hardcore".

I shoulda used blue text. :lol:

That Dragon Slayer x Ys game looks amazing. There is a Legend of Heroes x Ys game on PSP - never localized.

Anyway, anyone know what versions of the DQ games are on this comp? Like, is it the Famicom version of Dragon Quest...? Super Famicom? GBC?

I'm still upset we never got this in the states:

Android/iOS gaming is for casuals.
I play games on my iPhone and I'm sure as heck not a casual fan.

Clearly the DS was for casuals, I mean it has Nintendogs, Sudoku and Brain Age!

I didn't realize iOS could run Ps2 level games.
They have games way better looking than PS2 games. Got the Walking Dead on my phone and thats a 360/PS3 title.

RPGs actually work pretty well on iOS/Android, much better than more traditional, button-based action games.
