The whole discussion of phone games reminded me that more and more developers are porting/revamping older games for mobile devices, and some of them aren't busted like the Chrono Trigger PC port. This is honestly pretty excellent. I just recently learned that Ys 1 and 2[0] and a bunch of older Square Enix games[1] like Dragon Quest and Secret of Mana were on Google Play for Android. I'm always surprised when games that are legitimately enjoyable, work properly on a phone/tablet or support some kind of controller, and have zero transactions outside of paying for the game come to mobile. I've been pleasantly surprised by casual games like World of Goo and Greed Corp, plus there's emulation of certain old consoles, but full-size games on mobile are a huge step forward. Haven't tried casting, though I've read it's possible; proper casting would be a game changer.
