If you could have ANY 3 games on your Android, what would it be?

This post is quite simple:
If you could have any game form any system and it ran perfectly what would be your 3 picks?

Here are mine:

Starfox 64
Zelda Ocarina of Time
SuperSmash

I think if I actually had these games I would use my phone more for gaming!

That new game from Phosphor Studios called Horn looks kind of Zelda-ish. It should be out this week.

Two of those three were on my top three list. (Could you imagine the fun we could all have playing Smash Bros. and Starfox 64? Starfox would be beautiful, and an impromptu Smash fight with other people would be amazing.)

Anyways, here’s my revised top three in no particular order:

-A main series Pokemon game. Not a port, something new.
-Portal
-Mario Kart

  I agree with the Pokemon game. If you were to blend the traditional RPG with the DS Ware title Dream Radar so we could have a Pokemon game with Augmented Reality captures and battles – That would be awesome.

Pokemon Red/Blue

That is seriously the only game that I really want to have on my phone/tablet. I would be cool with just a straight port, or maybe an “HD” version to bump up the visuals a bit and maybe add a couple of new features that make sense but absolutely no twitter/facebook bullshit.

Are you guys opposed to emulation? You can get virtually every old console game on your phones these days and they run pretty well. Pair your phone/tablet up with a computer and you’re playing better than you could have back in the day!

  Defiantly some of the best games ever. I remeber as kids my bother, cousins, and I will just sit around the N64 as we watched my older cousin playing through the story mode. It was also one of the best multiplayer games on the N64!
  
  Sonic Adventure 2 (Battle) on the Gamecube is not only one of the better Gamecube titles but IS, hands-down, the best Sonic game ever.

Almost making the list would have been Donkey Kong 64. DK games just seemed worse after the N64…

I think it would be fun to have a good MMORPG on my phone (i.e., not Order & Chaos), but could be potentially dangerous too!

Aside from that I think games that don’t really require a physical controller like Adventure type games would be great. Not having good controls would really make some of those 64 games unplayable, IMO.

Everybody seems to be quoting the oldies – but what about the gems from this past decade and now?

Here’s my list:

Homeworld 2 + Complex Mod,
X:Rebirth,
Locomotion!

All awesome games. Rebirth isn’t out yet, but it looks to be the best space-sim I’ve ever even come close to seeing. X is like the new Freelancer, except it has 1000x more depth.

You can already play some of those games on Android using an N64 emulator like N64oid:

And the new Windows emulator called “Winulator” will take care of the old Windows based games! ;)

    Thanks for the recommendation. I did buy that when it came out, but im really against paying money for a game that then has in app purchases you need to buy in order to advance in the game. If I pay $6 for a game that should be enough. I do like that they are starting to bring those games to android, just not the greed for my money that comes with it lol.
