What game should be ported to the iPhone?

[downhill_demon]

I was wondering what would be the best game to be ported over. I was thinking maybe:

Final Fantasy III-IV
Final Fantasy Tactics
Splinter Cell
Starcraft???
FULL version of Puzzlquest

or any other good games

[da shiz wiz 19]

fallout 3
If I knew how to program I'd love to make a FPS RPG

[LBG]

Splinter cell.
I bet Gameloft/Ubisoft would do a great job on porting that to the iPhone.

[eggzbacon]

They should port Halo, but I don't think that Bungie will.
They need Call Of Duty: MW2.
They made COD: Zombies, so why not make MW2? Just use the same graphics and stuff, and... BAM! Call Of Duty MW2 is out!

Gameloft is creating a halo clone called N.O.V.A

[RankoSao]

As much as i would like to see it, Final Fantasy is NEVER ever ever coming to the iPhone. Especially not the Tactics series, which is sitting pretty on the DS.. which is why they came out with Song Summoner for us to play instead. But since we're wishing for impossible things, i would like to see Dragon Quest or Culdcept on the iPhone!

I know, but I want the real game.
NOVA looks great, but if we had the real Halo, it will sell a lot.

[TheProxy]

Wow, all of these FPS suggestions. I'd love to see an Iphone Elite Beat Agents. It would work rather perfectly, after all, the game is entirely touch screen controlled.

[jlanis86]

Personally, I'd like to see Crazy Taxi and Burnout.

[spamboy]

Jet Set Radio.

[Kamazar]

Super Mario Galaxy and Sonic Rush :rolleyes:

[Flickitty]

None, we don't need any more poorly done ports.

Platformers were a different era, and if you can't make the controls suit the iPhone, then don't make a friggin game.

[Somerandomdude]

I think we all know what I'm going to say. As a slight hint, it's the greatest DS series ever. And it's highly possible and probable, since the company has released other games on the platform.

I think you know what I'm getting at here.

Lol, nah I'm referring to the best DS game ever. Easy to port since there's no real action or any way to ruin the controls, since it's a adventure game kinda.

I actually have high hopes about this one. Capcom's on the appstore already, they're apparently teaming up with Gameloft, the biggest company on the store, and it's just the perfect game to port to the iPhone. Plus, Capcom promised us more games, and it seems like that would be one of the easiest to deliver.

Also, if anyone's ever played the flash game SAS Zombie Assault, that'd be a good one to port. Only thing is we already have Nazi Zombies, and I think it would just be kind of obsolete compared to that.

[tmcaffeine]

Jet Set Radio.

[shrakner]

Ambrosia's Chiral (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/chiral/).

Similar type of game to the "match-3" type games, but original gameplay- you have to clear atoms at a certain rate by bonding them into molecules... really not as scientific as it sounds, and a fun game back in the days of Mac OS 7 - 9. And PERFECT for a touchscreen. Honestly, I have no idea why Ambrosia Software didn't publish this already.

EDIT: Ambrosia's site no longer has a decent description of the game up... for anyone who's interested and doesn't have a Classic-capable Mac around, there's this description at Mac Game Files: http://www.macgamefiles.com/detail.php?item=10265

Splinter Cell & Castle Crashers

[Omega-F]

They should port Bioshock, Devil May Cry, No More Heroes, Grand Theft Auto 4, Mass Effect, Oblivion, Street Fighter 4, Uncharted, Metroid Prime and The World Ends With You.

Those games would play absolutely brilliant on the iPhone :D

:rolleyes:

[steezybreezy]

the best two games in my opinion would be skate which i can realisticaly see since gameloft made skater nation and all you need is two anolog sticks who cares about the back buttons for grabs.
the other game i really want is pokemon but i doubt that since its on nintendo.

Hmm... Halo, Insaniquarium (PopCap), Feeding Frenzy (PopCap), FoFiX, Grand Theft Auto (3D one, not Chinatown Wars), Crash Bandicoot games from PSX era (when they were good), Spyro games from the PSX era, and I could keep going, but I know 95% of what I say isn't happening, unless you're jailbroken with emullators.

Fallout 3 would be amazing. The game fits perfectly on a idevice. We don't really need a MW 2 but we need a great online war fps.

It might work well because of vats combat, making any FPS iphone combat issues a lot more forgiving. I would prefer they make a Fallout just for the iphone rather then just trying to port Fallout 3, an iphone exclusive with a fresh main story and sidequests in the same Fallout world.

Btw - is there a possibility to play Song Summoner on the iPhone?

I really would see Dragon Quest comming to the iPhone, as other RPG-games, too.
I crave for (polished) games like Ultima Underworlds and games like Eye Of The Beholder, Might & Magic, - some real and huge RPGs. I like The Quest, if there only were nicer gfx in that game.
And as Sleepy83 says, it would be nice to see the Forgotten Realms-games once again.

Check the upcoming games section, Song Summoner was indeed announced for iPhone! Dragon Quest will never come to iPhone sadly, it's pretty much a DS exclusive IP at this point. There IS a game that LOOKS like the early Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior games, though, called RPG Quest Minmae, you could check that one out..

*sighhhhhhhhhhhhh*


Crap.

Hundreds of games - which would have the potential to become a hit on the iPhone or IPod Touch - and no one cares about them. A little bit of polish on these gems or a full remastered version - and they could all be great, making the iDevices even more popular.

Contrary fact: dozens and dozens of these Zombieshooterbubblepopsbugsmash100pointsforfreeung lyrpgs are released every month. Now tell me the world is a fair place... ;)

But they are just poor, forgotten ones; games like Captain Blood, The Chaos Engine, Wing Commander, Alone In The Dark, LOOM, Pitfall, Gods, Day of the Tentacle, The Gene Machine, (the brilliant!) Moonstone and (in the first line) RPGs like Albion, Ambermoon, Whales Voyage, Ultima, Lands Of Lore and last but not least DRAKKHEN...
And thats only for PCs. I better don't start posting the console gems I'd like to see. List could be nearly endless.


Those were the days... *sighhhhhhhh*

I don't think they'd work without some epic slowdown, rRootage is less graphically intensive and that suffers from it. That said, the slowdown kinda helps... it's not jittery so it remains perfectly playable. Imperishable Night would be awesome.

I'd love to see a proper port of Lemmings with pinch zoom and a good touch interface... I can see a possibility for the game to port very well... unlike the current one on the App store.

Also, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 was my personal favorite in the series, though I could live with 5 if I had to, but a port of any part of the series needs to have a proper interface as well. TBS on the iPhone is just too small scale still.

I've been hoping and wishing for the old Sierra and LucasArts point and click adventures to be ported as well... particularly the Space Quest series and Sam & Max Hit the Road. A Beneath a Steel Sky style interface would do well on these.

It's a shame none of these will come to the iPhone anytime soon, but I'd rather not have any of these if the companies simply do straight ports with no touch interface optimizations :(

[Delusionaltool]

A game that would port over well I think would be Star Control II was a space scfi action rpg from 1992...it was brilliant...it had some of the best mod music...you know you are getting old when you had mods :).. read the wiki for the story, the game play was played out in real time exploring the universe meeting new alien races to help or impede you on your way...when you met up with other races a dialog tree would pop up and depending on what you say effects the outcome of being an ally or an enemy, if you have to fight it jumps to a top down view 2d side scroller where its you vs the enemy, this is where the game shines....as there are about 25 races each with a different type of ship different special attacks and defense moves...

Other than outlandish wishes that'll never come true, a game that I like that actually could be ported over to the iPhone/iPod touch is Alien Hominid: this platform is home to 2D sidescrolling shooters; the game has great 2D graphics; and moving with a virtual D-pad and shooting with a gun analog stick would be perfect. Essentially, it'd be another Zombieville-like offering. My two cents.

Driver, Beneath a Steel Sky, Earthworm Jim, Sword of Fargoal, Streets of Rage, Myst, Doom Classic, . Oh wait...

Your wish is our command!!

"Sword of Fargoal" IS now ported to the iPhone and iPod Touch!! Check it out and let us know what you think.

A game that would port over well I think would be Star Control II was a space scfi action rpg from 1992...it was brilliant...it had some of the best mod music...you know you are getting old when you had mods :).. read the wiki for the story, the game play was played out in real time exploring the universe meeting new alien races to help or impede you on your way...when you met up with other races a dialog tree would pop up and depending on what you say effects the outcome of being an ally or an enemy, if you have to fight it jumps to a top down view 2d side scroller where its you vs the enemy, this is where the game shines....as there are about 25 races each with a different type of ship different special attacks and defense moves...

there is a port coming out: http://www.cci-games.com/
i also am eagerly waiting for this :)

[tblrsa]

I´d love to see Pushover (The game with the red ant and the domino stones) Does someone still know that one? The game music is stuck inside my head forever. lol

I´m sure a port would run great on the iDevices, i´d for sure pay for it.

[kazamman]

umm....
umm........
These are never gonna happen but...
Zelda:Orcarina of Time
Kingdom Hearts
MARIO KART<<MUST

[S.I.D. CrAzY]

Mario Kart will never happen(same for Zelda), though it would put all the half assed kart racers on the iPhone to shame.

[Faeryan]

Definitely Final Fantasy Tactics.

[Slayher]

I think a multiplayer only version of Call Of Duty is much needed. 6 player limit with maps slightly larger than Modern Combat, 3 Vs 3 team modes, rankings, classes, and Gameloft style controls.

Their iPhone engine already runs Nazi Zombies very well, you can tell it's highly optimized by how small the download is.

[butterbean21]

Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse for Genesis!!

[razorflare77]

Thought I'd say a more possible title, since all of these suggestions are next gen console games. I guess toned down ports could be made but whatevs. I want Pokemon Puzzle Challenge. That game was the BEST match three puzzle game ever made. SO FUN.

Also Final Fantasy games, but that, as pointed out before, is impossible.

Pokemon games would be great.

Some type of MMO.

A well made turn based JRPG like Dragon Quest or something like that.

[The Game Reaper]

Braid. It's only a matter of time before it's ported.

Pokemon isn't any more possible than a next gen game.

[dogmeat]

did I already say road rash? if I didn't, road rash.

[flyingtwinkie]

All of the above would be great. It's hard not to mention a game that others haven't already. I would have to say 3xtreme from the ps1 I used to love that game.

Final Fantasy games up to 6 and Tactics are totally doable. FF7 and above might not quite be.

- Eternal Sonata ❤
- Tales of Symphonia ❤
- 2D version of Zero
- 2.5D version of Devil May Cry
- The Worlds Ends with You
- Dragon Quest Swords
- Fire Emblem

[jessicalolz]

Hmm.... I have most of the console game so I don't wish someone to port any old title to iPhone. Just want them to create something news and impressive enough! :P

[jessicalolz]

BTW, Fire Emblem is an exception since we have only a few thing kinds of game. :P

[RankoSao]

- Eternal Sonata ❤

Fire Emblem = AHAHAHAHAHA um, no. Why are people so naively optimistic? Especially you, Aurora? I thought you would understand.. Fire Emblem is a Nintendo product. Yes, its from Camelot, but its too closely associated with Nintendo.. there's no WAY it's going anywhere but the DSi..

[Aurora]

Uhh did I ever say it was going to come out? You do realize that none of the games I listed will ever come out for iPhone right? :rolleyes:
There's something called wishful thinking, which is what 99% of this thread is doing.

Yeah,but thats not what this thread was originally for :/ hence my reaction.

[SarcasticGamer]

A 2d version of Resident evil with nes graphics will make a lot of forum members happy seeing.

[tblrsa]

Well, maybe we should stick to games which are not totally unrealistic to be ported. Basically i´d love to see many of the old Amiga Classics. Pinball Dreams already got ported and i´m lovin every inch of it. :) Pushover would be a sweet puzzle game, maybe we get it sooner or later. This game is no push over for sure. ;) Anyone remember "The Lost Vikings"? Decent game aswell.

"The Lost Vikings" Gameplay:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj9zT7S5Fho

[EmpReb]

Sins of a Solar Empire should be ported over to the Idevice. Thee best Space RTS ever made in the history of Space RTSs. Go check it out and you will see what I am talking about.

[Jack111]

Why would nes graphics make us happy the iphone is capable of a lot more then that

[tblrsa]

Why would nes graphics make us happy the iphone is capable of a lot more then that

Probably for us old school nerds on here ;) I owned a NES aswell, still have it.

[Jack111]

Probably for us old school nerds on here ;) I owned a NES aswell, still have it.

so do i but why settle for nes graphics if you can get better

[tblrsa]

Why not? ;) I agree though, not much reason to "reduce" a game to Pixel Graphics if it wasnt originally shipped that way. Speaking about the NES: Castlevania (the first one) was great on that console, Konami should do an 1:1 Port. No updated GFX please. Also "Lemmings" would be great to have, but i doubt that one will ever appear on the Appstore.

[fizz7283]

I would like to see fuzion frenzy from the xbox. I am a sucker for mini games and there are some fun ones in fuzion frenzy. fuzion frenzy 2 is cool too, but twisted system on the original is way better.

other than that, maybe make super monkey ball more like banana blitz from the wii with more mini games.

I think a lot of people would love to see mario kart too and I am one of them.

[Dan007]

I think the VERY needed game on the iphone is a decent TPS. The one and only, the epic super awsome mega galactic game of all time. Max Payne. Full stop.

[itman]

Me want Uncharted ll!

[kugi_igi]

i would love to see DOTA ported
not the whole Warcraft 3:Frozen Throne
just that map called 'Defense of the Ancient' ;)

[jonedan]

Hey guys,
Splinter Cell & Castle Crashers.

Thanks.

[Maeks]

I'd love to see a game like Baseball Mogul, or even a Steel Panthers, ported.

Especially Steel Panthers, I've been holding out on something like it (and something simpler than it, incidentally), but i have a feeling it won't happen.

And Baseball Mogul, well, that game sucks up my computers CPU...Takes quite a bit to simulate and record each stat for every from MLB to single A and Rookie leagues.

[zamansimba]

hell yeah

[Zetaspawn]

Since the iPhone caused the recent rise in popularity of tower defense and it's now officially an award winning game(though only a VGA award), I think South Park: Lets go tower defense play would be a great game to port over and would finally give us a decent south park game for the iPhones.

Mmm yes.

That would instantly become my second favorite TD game. Defender Chronicles would still be first :)

[ikemike]

Infectonator, the flash game.

[KillBill18]

Who else thinks Omikron would make for a FANTASTIC iPhone port?

[funkynubman]

I don't really play, but I bet an Ipod version of Runescape or WOW would be really popular. Probably would be a HUGE file though.

[craighauser]

I like the idea of a 3d port of Splintercell, that would be very slick. Or, Half life one or two would be awesome and I think they could fit that on the ipod touch if the dumb down the graphics a tad. Maybe a two part installment. However, I would still LOVE to see the Bioshock come out!

[nlx]

I think KLAX would really fit the iPhone very well !!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40kCSxZGMgk

[CWHunt456]

Half-Life!!
i think that it could be ported if Valve gave the ok!

[nlx]

If any developer is listening, have a look at that game called
Shufflepuck Cafe from the Atari/Amiga years.

http://obligement.free.fr/gfx/shufflepuckcafe_4.jpg

I don't think its very famous even if it was a success back in the year. But what is interesting is that it have a HUGE potential on the iPhone with the multi touch screen !

Of ocurse i would enjoy a port, but maybe its just better to steel the idea of the game (that is a Air Hockey port with a soul).

Check the video :

Fat Princess. :D

[colorsound]

TiQal
Klax
Alex Kidd in Miracle World
California Games (Lynx Version)
Pilotwings
R-Type (I heard it is coming)
Bonks Adventure
Peggle Nights
Bejewelled Twist

[helix]

They took the name, but since these two, any other Wolfenstein games have been ridiculous.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5YuhTr79F8

I would LOVE to see these on my iPod.

[TheFamousEccles]

I'd really love to see Lode Runner: The Legend Returns. Maniac Mansion would be amazing also.

I'll second that. The original Lode Runner goes right up there with Wolfenstein. Gaming on the Apple IIc! :D

go to the app store, and do a search for Penguin-Kun Wars.

[Baitntackle54]

Halo would be amazing

[SunriseMoon]

I'd like to see Warioware, Zelda, Little Big Planet, and Super Smash Bros.

[Foozelz]

Zoo Tycoon

[goldglover411]

free rider 2

[SparkyBlue]

I wouldn't mind some heart of darkness or some of the Oddworld series. Also some of the Mission Based sim games wouldn't go amiss I think (GBA: Sims Busting out, urbs, Sims2 )

[Rivozzz]

Yu-gi-oh with online multiplaye. And tournaments..i will press buy then after it is downloaded i will look what price was it lol

[wootbean]

I hope they make a Riven port

[NothingLikeSleep]

Age of empires damn it

Battle for Wesnoth has made me think that Shining Force NEEDS to come to the App Store.

I have ot read through them all i probably should have. but i want contra!!! i use to rock that game on my nes when i was like 14. laughs

chris.

[Guitardedgang]

Tekken is a cool fighting game.

And maybe Dino Crisis 2 it was awesome.

[iball]

I love these threads, they show true ignorance for everyone involved but myself.
Most of these suggestions are pure lunacy.
Before you post, please do some basic research.
If it's Nintendo intellectual property (IP) it will never see the light of day as an official app due to Nintendo not wanting to butcher possible DS title sales.
That means no Mario titles.
Same goes for any Sony IP. Forget about seeing Little Big Planet on the iPhone.
Not going to happen.
Developer shops like SEGA who currently don't have a console and have already released a title or two based upon their IP titles are your best bet.
Also, the large game development companies are going to always, always, always run the numbers before even thinking about porting a title to the iPhone. They have to take into consideration their bottom-line and Return-On-Investment (ROI). If it's going to cost more to get the title on the iPhone than they would recoup in sales (remember Apple's cut, kids) then it's not going to happen.
Remember, a development company has to either find good iPhone developers or build an in-house iPhone dev team. Then they have to purchase hardware and software. Then they have to pay those same developers during the whole time they are working on a title or even just learning how to create apps for the iPhone. And if they don't get it right the first time out of the gate then negative reviews will affect sales. It's risky. Those major developers already have Xbox 360 and/or PS3/Wii developers they have to pay and the returns or losses on titles for those consoles are already extensively calculated by the bean counters so they are a known factor in game development.
A two-person Mom and Pop startup working on a $2 title will recoup their initial startup losses ($2000 iMac + $100 Apple Developer Program fee + time) much faster and make profit much faster than a major development company will. They only have to sell about 3000 units of a game to not only break even but make a tidy profit as well. Over time as more and more new users discover their game then that Mom-and-Pop operation will see additional returns on their investment for little to no work whereas a large developer will go through those returns in a day due to their large operating overhead.

It doesn't matter what game you want to play on your iPhone 3GS or iPod Touch 3rd gen, if it's not profitable nor in the company's best interests then it will not happen.

[Foozelz]

lets port call of duty modern warfare 2 in super hi-def :rolleyes:

[starmonkey101]

super smash bros!! ahahaha

but seriously, it would be sick

[Chibi-Zed]

super smash bros!! ahahaha

but seriously, it would be sick
And I never said it had to be exactly like it I said a good knock off would be good

[starmonkey101]

And I never said it had to be exactly like it I said a good knock off would be good

oh... did you already say that?:p:p:p... i wasnt insulting you or anything. ahaha i just said it myself....

[GodSon]

MONSTER HUNTER (or a Gameloft ripoff<3)

No disrespect but I pray they never do. It requires a reaction time that the touchscreen just can't do unless a controller is used. As much of a MHF fanboy I am...I just dont see it executed correctly on this device; and getting a controller kind of takes all the soul away from the iTouch.


I would like to see Fat Princess though. That would work perfect on the touch. Yeah I said it again. ;)

[BlackWolf]

infinity ward will make a lot of money with modern warfare 2, just make the same gameplay of cod: zombies, i have some ideas do you have an email of infinity ward?

[alxcoolastru]

Or Vice City and Modern Warefare 2, Test Drive Unlimited would be Great too !!

[antosimoni]

Stunt Car Racer
The Sentinel
Denfender OF The Crown

[Vinny554]

Left 4 Dead 2 or Gears of War 2.......period

[Will090]

Mario Hoops 3 on 3, the controls would fit the platform perfectly. It was all swiping gestures on the DS

[malcomjudd]

I want:

Splinter Cell
Prince of Persia
Tomb Raider
Plants vs Zombies(its coming!!!)
Patapon

:D

[Achy]

FFVII, VIII, IX....errr..let's get real.

A Commandos port would be awesome. I think it could work well too if they made it less actionful*(*2 am in the morning, I can't think).

Oh yeah old school version of prince of persia..or a newer one...naah old school was fun!

[tblrsa]

Yeah, Commandos, Desperados or Star Trek Away Team. Anything like that would be ace. It could also be a completely new game, sharing the same game mechanics. Why are our most favorite Copycats, the Gameloft developers, not thinking about that?


Oh yeah old school version of prince of persia..or a newer one...naah old school was fun!


I think we could basically count the Assassins Creed games as the new Prince Of Persia games, as they seem to be based on (ripped of is such a bad word) that. I would still prefer the old school one.

Forget Splinter Cell, Thief - Dark Project was way better imo. :)

[Achy]

AC is nothing like it. Old school PoP ftw!

[EmpReb]

Mech Warrior. nuff said.

[Somerandomdude]

Mech Warrior. nuff said.

Agreed. That would be such an awesome game on the iPhone.

As for mine:

Resident Evil: The Missions (already a mobile game... just port it like Degeneration and done)

A real Metal Slug game.

Metal Gear Solid Mobile (c'mon... how hard is it to give us a real MGS game)

Doom RPG

A dumbed down version of Doom 3

Metal Gear Acid

Capcom vs. SNK (that Gamecube one... it was cool)

THPS2 (it's already done... just submit it... even if it does get pulled after a day or two)

Final Fantasy IV

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

[wootbean]

I wanna Riven port

[slighmd]

Fat princess or something like that. Also monster hunter although the controls should be optimized for something like that

[johnwayne]

more fighting games like ufc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7LwLOXBz2Y&feature=related

or boxing in general.

the only good fighting games are blades of fury and iron fist boxing 3. Touch KO sucks, no bodypunch. had it days...

[one f jef]

X-COM PLEASE! :cool:

[squarezero]

Mushihimesama
Final Fantasy 7
Twisted Metal

Vagrant Story
Klonoa
