Which flash games should get a handheld release?

Postby Fraser » Wed Jul 23, 2008 3:00 pm

Wouldn't the flash version of portal make a fantastic PSP Store release?

Or how about Sketch Fighter on the Mac making it's way over to it's natural home, the DS?

We are sure there are countless others that really ought to be given homes on either the DS, PSP, mobile, N-Gage or iPhone. So what are they?

It's over to you...

Well to be honest there are not that many flash games that are truly worthy for UMD release . But as a PSstore game there are plenty .

Lately I found a couple of 2D racers , sidescrooling racers . They where a bit awkward at first but soon after they got so addictive that I still have a couple of them saved on my desktop . A good example is Dirt Bike 1/2 ( the best ones from the series ) . They are simple , tricky and fun . Shore you can complete them in 3-4 minutes , but make 5-20 times as many levels , add a level editor and you get yourself an addictive PSN title .

But then there are more complex and longer games like N+ , games that have enough value in them to be released ( and thank god this game will ) on UMDs/carts .

Whoa, look at all the tumble weed in here etc....

I'm not too familiar with the darlings of the flash scene, but there is one thing I can think of. I'd love to see the forthcoming Quake Live get optimized for the PSP, then I could die happy.

I know it's not really a flash game, but just think, a PSP game with an online element that people will actually use! It couldn't fail if you ask me. Pity it will never happen.

I'm not really up on Flash games, but I'd like to see some of the best Facebook games coming to mobile. Particularly Bumper Stars and Bowling Buddies - if you haven't played either of those, you should go and install them on your profile right now! - although the question is whether they'd be as appealing without the competitive elements of your friend networks.

It'd be great if ThatGameCompany (the folks behind flOw and the forthcoming Flower) released their original game, Cloud, on the PSP Store. At the moment it's not even a web game, it's only available as a PC download (for free of course) but it would make for a great title in the same vein as flOw i'd say. I'd definitely buy it.
