[MaxToTheMax]

Who is ready to see this be a port of the GBA version.

 

[slimbizzy]

this is funny

 

[Anxiety_timmy]

excuse me WHAT

 

[Justinde75]

Wait what

 

[Stealphie]

cool, but why

 

[Deleted member 397813]

uhh... why?

 

[orangy57]

cool, but why

It's extremely easy to port Unreal Engine 4 games to mobile and I'm sure THQ wants the extra money. Back in the day all the licensed kid's games were ported to like every system imaginable, and those ports took much more time and money

Modern Smartphones can run HD games but this is mostly a cash grab so... who knows?

I am starting to feel like people haven’t really been keeping up with smartphone gaming. Like games getting ported to smartphones aren’t the crappy downgrade they used to be and in most cases you aren’t just limited to touch screen controls. Both Android and iOS can sync with a wide variety of controllers. Seriously, mobile gaming has come a long way.

Is not that people is really unaware of that, is that most ports to mobile suck yes even in 2021.

If this is a decent port with no ads, no microtransactions and reasonable priced, it will be amazing. Sadly 90% of mobile games are crap.

 

[MaxiBash]

Well, this release sure is odd. You often see smaller indie games go cross platform with smartphone, not big titles or remasters like this.

I often find non-free games to be a lot better than free versions. I've been playing a lot of Monster Hunter Story, Dead Cells, and pretty much all of the classic Final Fantasy games on my phone without any real issue and with controller support (except Monster Hunter story, unfortunately.) I also found all of these games cheaper on the App store than if they were on say the Switch, 3DS, or PC. Maybe there's a difference because the App Store and Play Store, I haven't bought games off the Play store for years now, so I could just not be aware of the issues found there. Free games can be a crapshoot but since they are free, I don't really care as much when they issues and tend to just uninstall the worst offenders instead of getting invested in them.

 

[BlueFox gui]

wow.. a console game getting a port for an inferior device??? i've never seen that before oh my god

At least is not a 1996 mobile game.

This just makes sense
