We're looking at March 7th for Marshmallow (hopefully). I'm looking forward to all that extra memory. I have some mega sized games waiting to be installed. I have 32gb for the cell[hone and a 64gb for the tablet, thought about getting a 128gb, but that would be overkill ATM.

System memory is actually new to marshmallow. It works differently than it did previously and is much improved.
It does end and you can replay with different choices. It's a pretty fun little story and it had Android Wear support for notifications.
Guys, can anyone try out Layton Brothers: Mystery Room:

On an Android device with 6.0 Marshmallow?
I just updated my Moto G 2014 to it. It worked fine before (on Lollipop), but now I can't use any of the touch screen controls (can't pass title screen or quit). Wondering if this is some sort of issue with 6.0 or something went wrong with my phone.
Thanks!

I just checked on my Nexus 6 (6.0.1), and it worked fine. I'm trying to remember if I had a similar problem on my old Nexus 7 after a system update, but I'm not too sure.
Thanks for trying it out! Bummer, I guess it's something to do with the update on this phone, although everything else that worked on Lollipop works fine on Marshmallow.
Anyway, already finished it, so no big deal for now, just wanted to check my save, etc. Hopefully it works fine on my future phone!
I've done these a couple of times before and the code it gave me was already used, maybe it's the one they gave me last time. Other people have reported the same.
web link or use the Chromecast app. You'll need to be on the same network as your Chromecast.

Just did both devices here, ty for the heads up...

Damn, thought this was a new offer. I only have the old "free 90 day trial of Google Music" offer and nothing else.
It was, but I think they hit the limit and it's gone.
Only game that comes to mind recently is Stardew Valley, but that's not on mobile, sadly. I don't really think there is anything like that on Android or iOS (or at least of any real quality). I maybe be wrong tho, and if I am, I'd be glad to be proven.wrong.

Supposedly, Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories is releasing sometime in the Spring. It's only Natsume's second in-house HM game, but unlike Lost Valley, it takes a more traditional approach to HM's gameplay. Reviews have largely been average, but it sounds like what you're looking for. I can't think of any others at the moment, though I could've sworn someone mentioned one in the past.
I did try castaway Paradise, but it really really REALLY ad heavy

There's an ad every time you start the games. Also, developers are being paid based on usage time, so the f2p apps have converted microtransactions into time gates to motivate you to leave the apps running. It also replaced amazon's free app of the day program, so it's basically just there to get you to use their ecosystem.

Does anyone tried Infinity Blade Saga? Impressions?
http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/latest.asp?t=news&sec=11
I've seen previews, but it's not officially out if you know what I mean.
That's the game. Does that on the original SNES too.
i frequently check out pockettactics and pocketgamer
So I've had a Shield Tablet for a while now. I haven't been using it as much lately. Using the controller for non- controller games is kind of a hazzle. Any of you guys own one? What kind of games to you play on it and have any of you sold it and changed to another tablet you enjoy more?
I love it's hdmi out expandable memory. After holding an ipad mini the other day I realized mine's a little bulky for how little gaming I do on it.

LEGO Batman DC Superheroes, and Beyond Gotham are both on sale for $2 each. They seem to be straight ports of the 3DS/Vita games.
I picked up Beyond Gotham since it's compatible on all my devices (DC Superheroes strangely isn't compatible on my Nvidia Shield Portable).

I have one. I mainly use it for browsing. I just wish for better battery life. Everything else is wonderful.

Super Bit Adventure just went through a huge facial overhaul!

A mobile action RPG that's inspired by old school games of the 90's that we all love. It's free to play but very, very challenging.

Been playing Juggernaut Wars, seems pretty good for the typical fight 3 round level up, fight 3 more rounds, level up, type game...
I do really like the art style.

This might be a weird question but are there any DS-quality games on the store? I noticed there was a Layton game on the store and it made me wonder if there are other strong IPs on there that you'd normally find on the DS. I'd love to check out something similar to some old favs like Layton, Trace Memory (Another Code), Phoenix Wright, Advance Wars, Rhythm Heaven, and Picross 3D.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Man, this looks like it could be a fun game but the art is so ugly and boring. Totally generic.

I played the PSV/PS4 port. I can't imagine why the Android port would be much different.
Seeing it through my nostalgia, I can see its warts and honestly say it has some clunky or abstruse puzzles. It still has bugs, but that's part of keeping the original game under the hood.
With all that said, it's still a lovely little game that will make you smile and fall in love with the characters. I'd say Manny and Glottis are right up there with other media friendships from movies and books -- stands the test of time.
For the given price -- get it, and play to the end. Use a non-spoiler walkthrough like this one: http://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/grimfand.php
Crazy good bundle.
I own most of those, but games like Sorcery 3 are the Amazon version. So I'll gladly pay above asking price... Frozen Synapse Prime and Desktop Dungeons alone make this worth it for me.

So I randomly stumbled upon Exiled Kingdoms yesterday. Game is SUPER good if you enjoy old-school adventure RPGs. Definitely would suggest the free version for anyone looking for something like this.
How much is it if you want to buy it? I just see IAP in the link on my phone.

Full version is $2.95.

Installed this last night and enjoyed it a little bit, but when I turn of notifications but still get them, I uninstall and move on. If a game wants my time and/or money, then respect my phone.
Yeah, it def needs some tweaking, as it is rough around the edges, I hope they work things out as it's a lovely game otherwise.
It been there for a good while at this stage but if you haven't played it before it is absolutely worth it.

How do the controls translate on a smartphone?
I've played the original on the NDS and the controls were fantastic with the stylus and dual screen functionality.
Quoted just in case anyone misses the three games added. Probably the best mobile HB ever.

Just a warning that it doesn't run the latest intensive 3D games very well anymore though. But anything 2014 and older runs great
