This is a thread I've been wanting to post for a while and decided to recently because TA has piqued my interest with talk about Gameloft potentially putting out a game similar to Zelda. I'd love to see more copycat games on the app store. One of my favorites would have to be Omino. It's a great take on the classic Mario games. I'm surprised, actually, that it was approved AND managed to hold its ground. I don't know of any more copycat games, which is why I'm asking you guys. Post all the apps you have and/or know of! As for miniatures, this one may be self explanatory. Take large console names and shrink them down to the iDevices. For example: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Guitar Hero/Rock Band Final Fantasy Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown wars You get the idea! Post your favorites or post them all. Include games for the iPhone, iPod, and iPad.
I was using that as an expression for things normally played on a television screen brought down to an iDevice-sized screen. Personally, I think copycats in the app store are a great idea for people who want their fix, but are restricted because of copyright issues. I love Omino because I can play "Mario" practically anywhere I go without hauling around my NES.
that's nice, but IMO if developers can make less copycats and more original games it would be better.
It's a port of a DS(handheld) game, which was, as the TC would put it, a miniature of the console games.
