What are some good recommendations?
Is a galaxy SIII good for emulation?
>>255052916
My S3 works well with NES and DS games.
I bought an xperia play when it was still new.
It's never broken so I've never replaced it, it has an extended battery too. Goes about a week between charges.
It plays anything up to gen 5.
I feel like android games are so watered down you might as well just stick to emulating
>>255052916
Yeah its fine. Runs snes games without skipping.
Does anyone know any good AOE style mobile RTSs?
GTA San Andreas is pretty good with a controller/gamepad
it looks way better than the other versions, has some neat new reflexes on cars and shit
SNES/GBA emulator
>>255053252
How the hell?
You must have only used it for gaming - all the buttons peeled, and the L button gave out after a year.
I use my galaxy exhibit, it runs gba games so smooth and silky. Just downloaded secret of mana, works great.
>>255052916
Super hexagon is the only good android game
the world ends with you is really great. it's worse than the DS version, but pretty good on it's own.
knights of pen and paper is also pretty nice.
>>255058207
along with jetpack joyride, tilt to live, emulators

Here's the deal /v/, I've got an LG G2 and I don't game much on it, not being too much a fan of mobile games other than emulators, and I don't feel like carrying a dualshock around with me. Nvidia's shield tablet comes out next week. I've got $350 to blow. Shield Tablet and controller or 3DS and games?
>>255061518

I'm a big fan of Defender of Texel.
I can see how /v/ would hate it, though.
>>255061906
I played until it got to the point that I couldn't proceed in dungeons.
I had the blue warlock God. Hermes, maybe? He had a pointy hat and was bigballin.
>>255061518
Puzzles and dragons is one of the best games to get.
>>255062828

>>255065921
did JXD finally stop trying to copy Sony and Nintendo products?
>>255065776
The Shield couldn't run PSP games at full speed.
Final Fantasy III, maybe the best game on Android. They remade the entire game in 3D and it's awesome, really really fun.
Square-enix has released all the NES and SNES Final Fantasy (the VI is the last one), also Dragon Quest VIII and other games made for android.
Rockstar has released GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas, also Max Payne. But they're quite difficult to play with touch

/vg/ it's all crazy with a weeaboo game named School Idol
I've never played it, it has a security against root users
>>255066402
it's this weird game when you drive around to real life landmarks or locations of interest and creepily sit there for like five minutes while you pretend to hack a "portal" there to control it for your given team.
>>255066991
>it has a security against root users
Fuck it then.
>tfw got an iphone 4 (for free) to replace a broken xperia
Is there ANYTHING worth playing on an iphone?

tl;dr no.
It's a bitch trying to play PSP games on a touchscreen.
Oh, the Walking dead is on iOS and Android too
Clash of Clans and Plants vs Zombies 2
The former's only P2W comes from building things faster. The latter has a few plants and bonuses inaccessible unless you buy them, but they're not necessary

>>255067390
Assuming you can't get/don't want a controller, try DS instead. There are plenty of touch-based games that transitioned flawlessly to mobile. Animal Crossing, Brain Age, Nintendogs, WarioWare Touched, Kirby Canvas Curse, Elite Beat Agents, Yoshi Touch n Go, the list goes on

Is Puzzles and Dragons actually a good game? Should I wait on the 3DS version?
Anyone have a LG G3? How is dragon Quest VIII (I've never played a DQ).
>>255068373
Mobile games are made to jew money from stupid casuals or get money from ads, not to be or look good.
>>255068618
I wouldn't know.
>>255068565
And it runs PSPPP nicely too.
I've been wanting to upgrade to the S5 just for the fuck of it, but I can't justify the purchase when this awesome little piece of hardware does everything I need.

>$20.00
>>255068802

Using that Sixaxis app on my G2 and a brand new Sixaxis controller i get about half a second input lag playing any game, PS1 emulated or native android. The controller is lag free when using it to navigate the phone.

You're way late.
I've got a Nexus 5. All the games on the Android store look like shit. Pretty much every "free" title has hidden micropayment shit or needs access to your entire phone just to play a shitty Poker app.

What you scared of, white boiiii?
Why is there nothing like Artificial Academy for android? I know the Google Play Store doesn't allow lewd apps, but you could get it from some 3rd part site.

I wonder if mobiles will get 7th gen ports. Can they even run a 1:1 port of a 360/PS3 game? I remember hearing that the top of the lines smartphones are still behind old consoles, as the PS3 had 250~ gflops, and the S5 has 160~ gflops, something like that.

>>255098117
My current phone is more powerful than the Vita, only thing is that there's no good 3D android games.
>>255100362
So my LG G3 is more powerful then the Vita?
>>255102328
Technically speaking. But any emulators have to handle the hardware AND software, so the performance is cut drastically no matter how powerful it is. Also, how goes it with the back facing lock/power button? I imagine that takes some getting used to.
>Knights of Pen and Paper
>Organ Trail
>Carmageddon
>Real Racing 2
Pretty much the only games I constantly keep on my phone. I feel like ios had better games (When I had an itouch last year)
>>255102328
In short yes.
Current gen phones are easily more powerful than the vita, but it depends on how well the games and emulators are optimized for the phone. And of course how much work a dev wants to put into a $7 app
