So I thought I would make a thread we can all contribute to that has games that we like that don't have Xperia Play controls that we would like upgraded. If we can all help eachother out and email the developers for these games that we would like that update to be added maybe some will listen.
I will start with a game that is a remake of a shooter I liked when I was younger. I tried playing it and while the graphics are sick I just can't stand the lack of XPlay controls:

I did email the devs on this one and they said they are considering it.
• Caligo Chaser
• Caligo Chaser...
• CALIGO CHASER
• CALIGO FREAKING CHASER
• AGH... CALIGO CHASER!!!
...no, seriously though, you do not make such an awesome beat'em up/RPG hybrid with those borderline insane touch-screen controls... I do actually have a list though .
• Inotia 3 - Children of Carnia
• Shift
• ILLUSIA (This technically *does* work on Xperia PLAY, but there's a lot of control conflicts)
• Third Blade
• Caligo Chaser (as if I didn't make that clear earlier )
• DESTINIA
• PicoPicoQuest
• Elemental Knights Online
• Alphadia
• Battle for Rebirth/Fighting Tiger
• Castle of Shadows
• Demon Hunter (Though if we got Castle of Shadows, I really wouldn't care about this)
• Across Age DX
• Krazy Kart Racing
I actually have contacted a number of devs about this... most usually are up for the idea, but don't know how to structure their game for Xperia PLAY because of unavailability in their country. I hope that the Xperia PLAY's Japanese release changes things.
For developers who want to make Xperia PLAY games without having an Xperia PLAY to test on, I did put together THIS GUIDE and have been handing it out to them. Com2Us (Caligo Chaser) liked it a lot, but still didn't bother optimizing their game for Xperia PLAY... only one that actually went the whole mile and optimized their game after I sent that guide was PJS Coding (creators of Further Beyond Fighting)... and regardless of what complaints could be made about the production quality, the controls were spot on.
A lot of developer's games could benefit from Xperia PLAY's controls :/

So far... what DOESN'T look familiar is:
• Huang Fang Super Hero (Beat 'em Up? On Xperia PLAY? Where do I sign?!)

• DARK SPIRITS (looks nice, actually)
• Drift Circuit
• Lumines (a much more faithful-looking version than what we have, BTW)
• Minus Zero
• Puyo Puyo Fever
• Shinobi (It's called "Karakuri Ninja Transfer"... but the icon's clearly ripped from a Shinobi game)
• Sonic the Hedgehog (This was a ***** to control on a touch-screen, I'm sold)
• Wonder Land
• Devil May Cry 4: refrain
• El Shaddai (FOR REALZ? I do hope they use the soundtrack from the console El Shaddai)
• Super Monkey Ball (Meh... I kinda feel like this game is best as an accelerometer game, but whatever)
• Cho Aniki Zero
I'm hoping this doesn't end up being a repeat of SymbianOS... in Japan, smartphone gaming took off like 5 years before we got into the swing of things. I, for one, will be very jealous if we don't get DMC4: refrain here... especially after putting up with those atrocious touch controls on my old iDevice.
The only one of these I want is Devil May Cry 4
some of these, like Sonic The HedgeHog are already out in japan. Rush jobs using emulators im sure but still official releases. I went so far as to spoof my market to the Japanese market and download the games, but sadly they only work on Japanese devices.
I didn't even know DMC:4 was coming out for Android!! I though Capcom had abandoned us!
can we get these working on UK and US devices

Still no xperia play optimized, i don't know why SQUARE ENIX is so ****ing unpleased with sony...
Just chaos rings 2 and we have the complete series
sent from my galaxy s3 or xperia play
Really wish SQEnix would get out of the habit of ignoring Xperia Play. RPGs aren't particularly bad on touch screen, but just having the precision of d-pad selection over "tap and pray" would be a huge help.
well c'mon. we have analog gamekeyboard now, don't we. ;D
this games is veryyyy coool!
Anyone have a Gamekeyboard config to this game?
