I was wondering when they'd start making Android ports.

I hope we see this over in the US - it'd be cool to get some legit games for my shiny new Kindle Fire.

I hope they have Xperia Play controls support

@WolVenom
I'm sure it will be supported, since it coincide with Xperia PLAY release on Japan.

For the love of god, Square-Enix, incorporate button control customization!

This.
I have a Droid 2 and a Game Gripper accessory, so it's kinda annoying when publishers/developers ignore the options Android users have for input methods. Heck, you could even connect a Wii Remote or DualShock 3 via Bluetooth or USB (for tablets with a full-sized USB port), but they rarely go beyond the less-than-ideal touch controls. I have no interest in "adjusting" to a control scheme that's less accurate and covers the screen!

I don't hate touch screen controls, they can work quite well. Not for virtual game pads, though. For more "traditional" styled games, a touch screen is best served as a supplement to physical controls (DS, 3DS, PS Vita, and Wii U).

Yey! This is great news. Hope this happens in the US too.
I have Xperia Play so I can use the buttons on them for once!
I agree that the touch screen is nothing but a complementary option for these older games.
Unless it a game like the Mushrom Hunt.

@Angie7F I'm sure SquareEnix will expand on US, since they already going to release "Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light" to Android, with Xperia PLAY as the flagship device with timed exclusivity.

@Afrit Experia Play is like having our gamer prayers answered... Phone and real gaming device in one. More models like this should be produced, and more games compatible with such devices should be released. Wouldn't it be the answer to boost more sales in the industry???

I wonder which Android devices can actually run their more GPU-intensive apps like Chaos Rings. Surely any Nvidia-equipped handset. Perhaps the Xperia Play's specs are the minimum.

Also one has to account for all of those different screen resolutions. Will their games appear framed, stretched, letter-boxed, etc on all of the different devices? Or will they actually program dynamic screen resolution?
