I thought I’d make a thread I can use for when I wanna talk about random mobile stuff since there isn’t enough justification to slow its own thread for mobile games here. I’ve been getting a bit more into Apple Arcade again and also finally have a gamepad attachment that lets me keep the case on so it’s sparked my interest a bit again along with macbook and vision support. Seemed like a good time to check how netflix games had been doing and its expanded further than I realized! It’s at about 100 games now I see on ios. They are all included with your Netflix subscription if you have one. And it’s not all mobile junk either. Besides headliners like the GTA Trilogy remasters (with fixed lighting over the console/pc versions even) there stuff like Dead Cells, Oxenfree 2, Immortality, Spiritfarer, Deaths Door, Tmnt Shredders Revenge, even an exclusive Rainbow 6 game (though not what you are picturing!) If you have a sub and a phone/tablet/tv streaming device it’s definitely worth checking out if there’s some stuff you are interested in for no extra cost. Dont forget you can use gamepads for most mobile games (when it makes sense) these days. Second, I wanted to bring this game to your attention: ‎Go Sanic Goo! MLG APPS.APPLE.COM ‎Gems finally do something , they will help you in your adventure! Now with Sanic RTX and Ame Roes RTX!! the SanicVerse is getting bigger Prepare yourself, more content is coming in the next... Someone actually released a game based on weirdo Sonic memes and it’s kind of amazing. Kind of Sega to not get it kicked out. It’s kind of amazing and while it has ads and in app purchases, it doesn’t matter since you really are just there to play it for 5 minutes while high and be like lol. But it is more payable than you’d think! Third, I’d like to call out Gibbon: Beyond the Trees which is absolutely stunning on apple vision but also really nice on a phone too. It’s auto moving one touch kinda gameplay with a few tricks but actual designed levels, not an endless runner. With some good environmental story telling in the background and swinging through can be quite thrilling when you gain momentum. Definitely check it out if you have Apple Arcade. It’s an older release and kinda buried in there for how good it is. Looking forward to May 7th to hopefully be able to add an ipad pro to my mobile device list and maybe a big Arcade drop like last May.

Sorry guys I don't get notifications for d1p anymore. I received my Rokid Max a couple days ago and I've been loving them. There are a couple small issues with them though: The nose guards suck. They make it so the alignment of the screen is a little off for most people and with the larger size FOV the bottom corners of the screen get cut off for most people. I just removed the nose guard completely though and I think they're still super comfortable. Other people are bending the nose guard so that it works without messing up the alignment: The other drawback is that they have a blue light filter enabled that cannot be turned off. I don't notice it at all but a few other people said they didn't like it. The developer mentioned there might be a firmware update soon to make it optional. Anyway, I had the nreal air before this and I've used it almost every single day since I bought it a few months ago so I bought this right away. I can already tell they're significantly better and I absolutely love them.

This has been news for a week or two now but there wasn’t anything released yet worth talking about. But now Riley has brought his excellent made for iOS multi system emulator Delta officially to the app store. It of course supports actual gamepads like xbox pads or backbone attachments. Though the nicely designed haptics means that if you are just playing a bit at the dentist it won’t be the worst time using those. Right now it’s just Nintendo systems but the alt store version supports some other systems and this says more to come, so expect to see t16, genesis, etc. Now we wait to see when Retroarch and Dolphin make it over!

wow, Epic Games has added its own payments scheme to Fortnite on iOS. It bypasses Apple's IAP system and it's cheaper.

Iconic Kim Kardashian: Hollywood mobile game shutting down after a decade WWW.POLYGON.COM Spend your K-Stars now I know this is a big "who cares" from a lot of you but this was kind of a daily distraction for me. I never paid any money to play the game and I only checked it out because there was such a big controversy of how much people were spending in the game. But it had a little interesting story mode, which went away after the past few years. You could tell this thing was winding down so I'm not too surprised it is shutting down. The fans of the game do appear to be saddened by the news, even some have started a petition to keep it going which will do nothing. What is interesting in recent years EA had actually bought this game and the mobile developer. Good luck to them in the future I suppose.

Once again, Tim Epic has gone to court against a mobile platform holder -- the one whose CEO is not named Tim -- over the 30% cut paid to said platform holder for in-app purchases. In today's first day of testimony, the first witness called was Steve Allison, head of the Epic Games Store, who once again confirmed that EGS remains unprofitable.

@Mercury33 introduced this game to a few of us a couple of weeks ago and we've been addicted ever since. It's crazy because I'm not into card battle games or mobile games but I can't put this fucker down. @ARZand @JPDunks4will back me up. Game is obnoxiously addicting. The gameplay is addicting enough but so is collecting the these fucking cards and their variants. Try this game if you dare but don't get mad at me if you get addicted.

Have any of you played this game? I know most of you are gamerz with a capital Z so you immediately scoff at the idea of a mobile game but this might be one of the most depressing games ever made. The marketing surrounding this game makes it seem like a titillating lighthearted game, even the opening movie (above) seems innocent. You think you're just getting into a ol' fashioned game with girls that have their rear ends hanging out while they shoot some guns but the whole story of the game, the reason you're playing, is kind of unsettling. It was kind of telling in the half anniversary video they made the writer of the game remarked on how even he didn't want the game to keep going down the dark path that only seems to be getting darker. The idea of the game is that these girls are actually androids called Nikkes, that basically are there to serve / protect humans who have been driven underground by freaky robots called Raptures. A lot of a Nikke's life feels kind of worthless, they are discriminated against and considered subhuman by many people. Heck even a few minutes into the story you see what has to happen to them once they become corrupted by a rapture. In any case they have story events every so often and mostly about how humans suck too and the latest event was about how the Ark (the underground city) came to be and the trials and tribulations of the "Goddess Squad" and well unfortunately it deals with tragic loss and the mental toll it takes on one of the characters. Now, I am enjoying the game. It's a good looking game with great artwork, and the music is pretty good as well. But I just had to vent that the game does not conjure positive feelings. 🥹

This will inevitably jump ship to other platforms, but is launching on Apple products first sometime this year (iPhones, iPads, Macs).

@Greatoneshere Maybe you like this look more

Super cute, but I'm not sold it'll have the same appeal Pokemon Go has.

Good to see some changes in VR design

From what I understand you choose your character and story (or something like that) Kevin Penkin composed the soundtrack!

I’ll begin this by saying that I appreciate that Nintendo (and affiliates) make a stupid amount of money from the physical game. It does seem though a basic game, limited cards and a stupid amount of items to pay for would be a match made in heaven. This has all come around in my head as I have started to get a bit obsessed with the idea of playing some kind of card game and also D&D (sparked by listening to Dungeons & Daddies).

I know DOTA is more popular here but LoL is more my style and now it's on mobile with some adjustments (and only like half the cast and unfortunately all of my junglers are missing)! Perfect for my current bed ridden state I will be back with my simpleton low level weak ass non-DOTA playing impressions later (updating now).

MTG Arena is on Android now it's slightly wonky on mobile (I think they need to increase card sizes for one) but its a full portable MTG experience!

https://www.ign.com/articles/civilization-6-vi-android Full PC pricing seems a little steep, but you can download the vanilla game and get a 60 turn demo, which I appreciate since I can imagine playing Civ on a phone being a bit tedious so good to get a chance to try it before buying.
