Dear devs: how about turn-based RPGs?

I see emulators filling this void for the time being. You have a wide selection of the best 2D turn based RPGs ever made avaliable. Native games could be better functionality wise, but you'd be hard pressed to beat whats already out there in emulator land.

 

The only problem is that if your game ROMs are from Nintendo, you are playing the game illegally even if you own the game (I had an exchange with them that did not end up too well when they published that policy about Gamecube games and claimed that it applied to all of their games.)

If you don't care about pirating stuff, that's on you but if you're not into that, emulators are a little less of an option.

 

If you own the game, it is 100% legal to have the ROM on your phone.

Super Mario RPG

 

According to whom? Nintendo would probably lose the case, but now that the Virtual Console is available for Wii and DSi, they would probably restate their policy about backup copies of games you already own. Have they changed their minds? I admit, it has been atleast 8 years since I wrote to them about it.

 

I actually do own most of the games I play via emulators on my phone, but I'll admit I don't miss any sleep playing old roms I pirated. Yaar, obsolete console roms ahoy.

 

It's the same copyright laws as music. If you buy an electrical version of an intellectual property, you have the right to keep and use it any form for your own personal use.

We do need something like the Advanced Wars Series on the DS, that would seriously rock.

Didn't we just cover the fact that you can actually play the real Advance Wars already? No copies needed.

 

However after having completed the game and its sequels I'd like a fresh game :S

Thats a bit like saying why would you want to play the latest call of duty when we have the original wolfenstein :S
