Looked and sounded exactly like it should, but there's only so much you can do with a touch screen. I missed plenty of rings that I've never missed before because my fat fingers couldn't turn Sonic around in time on the tiny little screen button.<br /><br />I think as far as exposure and general appeal, these apps are probably going to reach the most people. For fidelity and people who want the best play experience, though, I think these games belong in the e-shops of consoles. Thankfully, that seems to be the plan, which would offer both parties the experience that suits them best. For people who are completely connected to their phones, they have the apps. For people who want a console experience, there should be that, too. <br /><br />At least, I hope that's what happens. I'm still waiting on the Boomerang streaming network to launch the service for Roku as promised. I don't watch TV shows on my phone.Heath Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802874033845631338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745278395015428128.post-66920649866885570282017-06-23T06:01:29.590-05:002017-06-23T06:01:29.590-05:00Games that try to simulate controller buttons and ...Games that try to simulate controller buttons and d-pads on a touch screen just never seem to control too well for me. Altered Beast probably doesn't require too much fidelity in the controls but I can't see playing Sonic on an iPhone and I've never seen anyone carry around a controller for their phone.<br /><br />It's a shame publishers can't find an easy way to offer up their back catalogs for purchase especially given how easy it is these days for people to pirate those games and play them on emulators.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129602094443434975noreply@blogger.com
