Well, I can't exactly bring a DC/360/PC on the go, which is what give JSR iOS an advantage.

Yes, but I would rather read a book, read a comic on my phone or listen to music than play something with horrible controls. Mobile phone games seem like a novelty but most of the time I drop them due to bad controls or just scummy design. :/

1) Bring back Feel The Magic.

2) Do Daytona USA & SEGA Rally like the Real Racing series (tilt controls, auto accelerate, press screen to brake).

3) Convert Skies of Arcadia into an SRPG clone of Fire Emblem... or just use Sakura Wars or Valkyria Chronicles.

4) Create a digital-TCG version of Golden Axe in the vein of Magic/Pokemon/Hearthstone.

Console to Handheld to Freemium App...

Seems like the next natural step for Valkyria Chronicles to be quite honest.

I do think that VC would be the most likely to get some kind of Mobile gameout of those, and the one that would work best on phone. Change it to a top down view and have touch screen to move units, remove manual aim.
It would then be more reliant on stats and things like positioning which would be interesting. I'm thinking something like the excellent X-Com games or Silent Storm (with less real time aspects than Silent Storm because touch controls would make that a nightmare).


It could work quite well supposing Sega don't go nuts with making it a skinner box or something. Just give me that DLC, we have Vice, Fina and Aika in the game, now we need another Cameo. I'm thinking a certain Space gal named Ulala would work as a scout, personally.

Otherwise HotD might work. Maybe you could alter it up so it's more about hitting specific points or just more enemies on screen? I know that SNK made a lightgun style shooter recently, but it looks atrocious. If nothing else Sega could do a lazy port of HotD 2 and 3 again or something.

Sega really should get on doing the Typing of the Dead on the phone (AND NOT OVERKILL DAMMIT). They already have Flick of the Dead for the japanese, which is made with japanese characters in mind.

We have seen some of that influence in their mobile games. Go Dance has some of the same artistic techniques, and Rhythm Thief has the mini games.

You don't need to do Feel the Magic, but rather an experimental game in that vein. They really should tackle that next for mobile.
