Ubisoft announced Just Dance Now, an app that will work in tandem with the upcoming game Just Dance 2015, the newest entry in the popular dance game series. The app lets players join in the game by using their phone as a controller. It only works for select songs though. Built in accelerometers in most devices allow this to be possible. There is no set limit to how many dancers can join in when using the app, as shown in the trailer for the game.
Developers going by the name of Eltechs who have released a port of DOOM and Heretic onto Android along with the PC game emulator called ExaGear Strategies have updated their emulator to include support for three additional games today. If you’re a fan of playing retro PC games on your Android device, then this is some good news for you.
About a week ago we reported on a sort of demo game from Epic which was released onto Google Play to show the flexibility of their Unreal Engine 4 in regards to mobile game development. Tappy Bird was the full demonstration game that they released and while it may not have been a massive buffet of visual eye candy, it did do the trick in some ways to show that you don’t need to be a massively experienced programmer to use Unreal Engine 4.
Today, EA Mobile has released a mobile companion app for Respawn Entertainment’s wildly successful freshman release, Titanfall. The simply named app, “Titanfall Companion App”, is robust both in size (612MB) and features, promising to enhance the player experience with a bevy of tools.
Nintendo will be bringing a 3DS tethering app to Google Play but only in Japan. Coming on the heels of the upcoming Mario Kart app, titled Mario Kart TV , this app will allow users to connect their 3DS to their phone for internet use.
Back in March of this year we mentioned that Nintendo was toying around with the idea of companion apps to extend the experience of their games. In that case we were talking about Animal Crossing at the time. Nintendo has long had a stanch refusal to move into the mobile market which as been reported on a few times already. However, due to a combination of terrible Wii U sales, sinking company-wide profits, and other factors, it looks like Nintendo is now finally moving into the mobile space with these companion apps and their first release confirmed as a Mario Kart 8 app.
We all know there are those out there that are looking for a way to play your Android games or run your apps on a bigger screen. There are a few options currently for running Android on your desktop using BlueStacks and YouWave (or Splashtop depending on how you want to do it) but now there is another choice, Andy.
The old school RPG Heroes of Might and Magic 3 can now be run on your Android device but not in the way you’re probably guessing. This doesn’t come in the form of a game that you install natively on your Android device but instead it comes in the form of a launcher that allows you to run the PC version of the game.
Konami has followed the release of their Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes mini-game with a sneaky release of a companion app along with it. In case you are wondering why we have called this game a ‘mini-game’, it is simply because it is just a short (but pretty challenging at times) game to tide folks over till the next installment into the franchise hits everyone’s consoles in 2015 (or 2016 depending on how development goes).
One thing that has been a pretty major pain in the ass is trying to live stream mobile games on services like TwitchTV. Generally you have to come up with your own solutions to get this to work and half the time it is generally too slow to run through an emulator or anything like that. Lag is another issue half the time. The advent of Android-powered micro-consoles has helped this a bit though.
