Want more Square Enix news? How about Final Fantasy VI for Android this Winter and possibly more.
In case you haven’t had your fill of Square Enix news this week with their announcement yesterday that the company would be bringing a majority of the Dragon Quest franchise over to Android in the near future. While it hasn’t been officially confirmed just yet as to whether or not the series (Dragon Quest 1-8 and Dragon Quest Monster blah bah) would reach Western shores, it is most likely that they will since all the mobile Final Fantasy games have been released in the West.
One of the biggest issues with the Ouya game console is the fact people have no real way to have external storage usage. So once your internal storage is filled up, you’re kind of left in the dark as to what to do. It’s a problem Ouya is well aware of and have been working on it for a bit now. The good news is it looks like a solution is coming closer to happening.
Like we briefly mentioned in our last post a few moments ago, Archos has made the GamePad 2 an official thing now which is about time since we got to play with an early prototype at CES 2013 and it was also basically outted thanks to an FCC filing back in August of this year. So what can you expect in terms of hardware for their second gen gaming tablet?
Usually we end up seeing a Gameloft title appearing on the occasional Android device when a new one hits store shelves. This also is usually a demo version most of the time. However that will be changing with the upcoming GamePad 2 from Archos as Gameloft will have two full free games pre-installed onto the upcomin gaming centric tablet.
Tin Man Games is keeping up their momentum in celebration of their 5 year anniversary with the release of yet another interactive RPG book called Forgotten Spell. This new addition to their catalog doesn’t fall into the Fighting Fantasy franchise nor their own Gamebook Adventure series. However this is still just as good as any of their previous titles and comes with all the features you’d expect to find in a Tin Man Games release.
One game a lot of people have been waiting for since it was announced is the official mobile version of Transport Tycoon. Having been in a bit of a beta stage of testing for the last little while, this game is now available on Google Play since a few days ago for select Android devices. In other words, from what we can tell, that means tablets only as far as we can tell.
While Gamevil has published plenty of their own games as well as a few from their third-party publishing program, it seems as though Gamevil wants to keep the momentum going by outright buying game development companies. First on Gamevil’s hit list is Com2Us which was announced as being purchased by Gamevil a few days ago. Today we have word that Gamevil has just purchased another game studio called Nine Wheels.
One of Square Enix rather popular game franchises from back in the day happens to be Dragon Quest. While this franchise didn’t have the cult following the Final Fantasy franchise has, it still held its own as one of the more popular series of RPGs from the old school era of consoles. Now Square Enix has announced that a bunch of Dragon Quest games are heading to mobile soon.
