While I’d guess that the Biohazard 4 and Devil May Cry: Dante/Virgil mobile titles weren’t the result of a public outcry or an Internet petition, far be it from me to speak on the demand of cellular phone-based games in Japan. As a foreigner, I’m astounded by not only the number of cell phones used throughout Tokyo, but I was also stunned to find out that mobile games made up the highest percentage of titles shown at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.
I had a chance to play the mobile versions of both titles on the show floor, with varied results. Hit the jump for the skinny on two games that are not quite as cool as Google’s free "Google Map" application, but better than most phone’s built-in web browsers.
