Mobile Games That I Want To See Ported To Home/Portable Consoles and PC


There are great mobile games these days unlike during the early 2000's. Because of today's tech, some mobile games now have great 3D graphics and gameplay that rivals even the games that's available on gaming consoles, especially portable ones like the 3DS and PSVita. Now, I've been playing some  games on my iPhone and Android phone (yes I have two smartphones) and I want to see them ported to gaming consoles and PC.

There are mobile games that are already ported like Mobius Final Fantasy that's now available on PC and Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy that have simultaneous release on 3DS and iOS in Japan on July 2017 and its English 3DS version later on October 2017. That means that it's possible for developers to port games from iOS/Android to consoles/PC, but that depends on the developers' budget and fan demand. Now, on to the games that I want to be ported.

Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia
What I like about this DFFOO is that it got lots of Final Fantasy characters than Dissidia Arcade/NT and more coming soon. It got the classic 3-member party turn based battle system with Brave and HP damage mechanic that's introduced in the Dissidia games on PSP/Arcade/PS4 and the two game mechanics works really well and adds some depth and strategy. This game have a story and more chapters are getting added later on through updates. The graphics looks nice and the characters are chibi and have nice animation. It's possible to port this to PSVita and 3DS (with reduced quality in graphics).

Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius
If DFFOO have many characters, Brave Exvius have tons of them! Most of the characters including the main characters/villains are original. In addition, classic and modern FF characters minor and major ones are here too! This game have story and still continues to this day thanks to the updates from the devs. The graphics looks like it came from the PS1 era and features 2D sprites and backgrounds. Some of the effects are 3D. The gameplay is also turn based and you can have up to 5 party members and you can add your friend's character as the 6th party member. It's possible to port this game on all consoles and PC.

Honkai Impact 3
Have you played Guns Girl Z? Then you will be familiar with the characters in Honkai Impact 3. I don't know much about its story and some of the texts have poor translation. Still the gameplay is fast and awesome, it's action based and you can swap between characters to perform unique combos. You can upgrade your characters (and their different variations) and their equipment too. The game's amazing graphics makes the game awesome. I didn't believe that the game's graphics are real while watching the trailer, so I downloaded it and wow, trailer didn't lie. I want to see this on PC, game consoles and PSVita because it demands to be played using a controller.

Layton Brothers: Mystery Room
This is the first Layton game I've played and it's a spin-off. I prefer mystery/crime solving games than solving puzzles. It got a nice story with some twists, you play as Hershell Layton's son, Alfendi Layton with his assistant, Lucy Baker, both of them solve crimes using the Mystery Room that recreates the actual crime scene. The graphics are 2D during conversations and 3D while investigating crimes. It's a nice looking game with a cool characters and story and I would like to play this on 3DS and PSVita.

Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition
FFXV is everywhere, it even have an iOS/Android version except 3DS and PSVita versions. So why stop now, SQEX? Port this on 3DS and PSVita now. Anyway, FFXV Pocket Edition have downgraded 3D graphics with chibi characters, have the same story minus sidequests and the characters are fully voiced. They say that this game is a "demake" (opposite of remake) of the original FFXV. The gameplay is action based and fast but it's dumbed down. Still, if you want FFXV on-the-go, then get this game.

Castlevania: Grimoire of Shadow (Grimoire of Souls)
Ah! The latest Castlevania game and Konami made the worst decision to put in on the iOS, as if people are already mad at Konami for their poor business decisions in gaming department. Anyway this is not released yet and based on the screenshots (possibly beta), the graphics looks like and it will also look good on 3DS and PSVita. It even got a story with a new character. The story takes place after Dracula is destroyed for good, so before Aria of Sorrow or after Dawn of Sorrow? And some bad guys got some reason and means to Dracula by using some grimoire, hence the title.

Now, if these games are going to get ported. I want them remove microtransactions and replace it with in-game rewards or retain microtransactions but instead of real money, let players spend in-game currency. DLCs are fine but the games must still be complete and almost all bugs are gone.
