It’s Sunday – a time to reflect on all the things you failed to achieve this week. Such as reading these five stories on Droid Gamers.
If you’d read them you’d know about awesome updates, fabulous sales, scintillating app releases, and mind-boggling games that are coming soon and not so soon.
Fortunately, because we’re generous people, we rounded up the most important news stories below. We haven’t bothered including stories about the new games that have come out, because you can read about the best new Android games of the week here.
Super Mario Run got an update and a temporary price cut
On Monday we wrote that an update was coming to Super Mario Run, and it was going on sale, and lo it came to pass.
The update adds a new mode, called Remix 10, where you play segments of ten different stages on shuffle. There’s also a new Daisy character to unlock (thanks PanurgeJr!). She can do a double jump.
It’s a massive update with more in it that we have space to cover here. Also the IAP to unlock the full game is currently half-price. Go go go.
ArchAge Begins is coming in October, pre-registration open
If you haven’t heard of ArchAge, it’s an MMORPG that’s big in Korea. It lets you live a virtual life that contains fishing, home-making, travel, and fighting.
This forthcoming mobile spinoff simplifies the fighting with a new flip-card system, but otherwise it retains much of the original game’s content, including 30 different heroes and Guild Battles. You can pre-register now.
Blizzard has released a Battle.net app
Fans of Blizzard games will already be aware of Battle.net, the corporate umbrella under which the various Blizzard IPs shelter.
Well, there’s now a Battle.net app. It lets you coordinate with your Blizzard gaming buddies via chat and friends, giving you yet another medium through which to troll loved ones and strangers alike.
VGB GameBoy Emulator is on sale
We opened our story about this in the week with a tongue-in-cheek assertion that Android is better than iOS, and somebody wrote a long comment explaining why we were wrong. Some things never change.
Anyway, VGB GameBoy Emulator is currently half-price. This comprehensive app lets you play GameBoy Classic, Color, and Super games, cast to your TV, use a range of Bluetooth controllers, and much more.
The only thing it doesn’t come with is games, which for legal reasons you’ll have to (easily) find on your own.
Doctor Who: Infinity is coming next year
Tiny Rebel Games, who developed Doctor Who: Legacy, has revealed that it’s working on a follow-up called Doctor Who: Infinity.
The new game will have the same match-three gameplay, but with a lot of new stuff thrown in too. It’ll have a comic book style, and several prominent writers of the TV show are involved. Apparently it’ll be a “new platform for delivery of stories.”
But still a game.
