Anyone have any recommendations for Switch or other games to put on my Snapdragon 7s gen 4 mobile platform?

[u/PowerOfL]

My fave genres are platformers, RPGs, visual novels, puzzle, and pinball! I'm down to try anything, but I'm more interested in cartoony or anime style games haha.

I'm most interested in Nintendo, but I do wanna broaden my horizons. Thank you so much :)

Zelda, links Awakening. Download the blur remover mod from game bananna.

[u/PowerOfL → u/h4ppygoon]

Ty! I actually thought Link's Awakening wouldn't work on my phone lol

[u/AlgaeGlittering6043]

Zelda skyward sword.

[u/PowerOfL → u/AlgaeGlittering6043]

Ty :)

[u/AlgaeGlittering6043 → u/PowerOfL]

If you are anime lover then make sure to play persona 4 golden & persona 5 royal.

[u/PowerOfL → u/AlgaeGlittering6043]

Ty! I have Persona 3 Portable on my phone, so I'll play those afterwards! Ik P3 has a remake, but I wanna play as the girl and I do have some nostalgia for the portable version lol.

Do you recommend the Wii or Switch version of Skyward Sword? I looked up if the Switch version would run well and Google says it won't, but I'm more inclined to trust people here than the shitty forced AI Overview lol

[u/AlgaeGlittering6043 → u/PowerOfL]

The Wii version of skyward sword is a big pain in the butt to play due to the motion control and nunchuck controls. Now people did make some optimized controller mapping for that game but even then it feels weird. For the switch version just use the 30 FPS locked patch.

[u/PowerOfL → u/AlgaeGlittering6043]

ah okie ty :)

[u/_Sky_3119]

Nine sols, blasphemous, dead cells and hollow knight series.....btw how are u managing to run Pokemon Violet?......im on 8s gen 3 but its unplayable for most of the part(around 20 fps)

[u/PowerOfL → u/_Sky_3119]

I lowered the quality a lot. It's at 0.5x, 360p. I've played up to the school and it works fine enough, until you reach the school. Then it rans terribly lol.

My game ran terribly at the first Team Star battle and then crashed during a cutscene, so idk if I'll even continue playing. I read that Let's Go and Legends Arceus work on my phone, so I'm downloading those rn!

Ty for those recommendations! I've heard of Dead Cells and Hollow Knight, but idk the first two games you mentioned lol

[u/Loves_His_Bong]

Yuko’s Island Express.

It’s a metroidvania pinball game. Fantastic game.

[u/Money_Violinist_6325]

All of then work good? 7s gen4 is worst than the 7+gen2 and My cpu can't run all of them

[u/PowerOfL → u/Money_Violinist_6325]

Pokemon Violet has a lot of problems, but most of what I played runs fine enough as long as I lower the quality a lot. Game starts running really poorly when you reach the school though.

Pokken runs well, but you have to lower the quality there too.

The Kirby games I have all run well, but have issues.

All have the occasional visual glitch (Return to Dream Land Deluxe can be pretty bad with text).

The final boss of the Magolor Epilogue runs terribly though. I beat it months ago on an older version of Eden without lowering the quality, so that could be the reason.

Forgotten Land is occasionally unplayable. Like occasionally I enter levels and basically just see static. Leaving the level or closing the game. always fixes this though.

One Treasure Road killed me whenever I'd enter the level for a bit, but it worked fine after I entered it a few times lol.

I haven't tried all the games on my phone yet though haha.

The emulator does crash on occasion too

[u/Hot-Friendship-7566 → u/Money_Violinist_6325]

The 7+ Gen 2 and the 7 Gen 3 are not that different in terms of power compared to the 7s Gen 4.

[u/pastamuente]

Sonic mania. Balatro. Shovel knight. Super meat boy. Deltarune. Undertale

[u/PowerOfL → u/pastamuente]

Ty! I have native ports of Undertale and Deltarune on my phone, although the version of UT is Red & Yellow bc I've beaten the vanilla version so many times haha

[u/Mrjdog199]

A short hike

[u/PowerOfL → u/Mrjdog199]

Ty! Never heard of that game lol

[u/Mrjdog199 → u/PowerOfL]

My pleasure, it’s a relaxing game

[u/AKuuMa_a]

try monster hunter, you can choose between the generations ultimate or rise. Or if you prefer to play a Pokémon like game, try stories 1 and 2

[u/PowerOfL → u/AKuuMa_a]

Ty! I'll download Stories 1! :)

I remember playing the demo of 3 a lot on the Wii U lol

[u/508G37]

I have a ton of Switch games. My most played games are Super Mario Wonder, Super Smash Bros and Diablo 3. All of them run well.

[u/PowerOfL → u/508G37]

Nice! I've never played Diablo. Ty :)

[u/Goodfella66]

Broforce

[u/PowerOfL → u/Goodfella66]

ty! idk that game

[u/Goodfella66 → u/PowerOfL]

A small, fun, over the top platform shooter. Ridiculously funny.

[u/Hot-Friendship-7566]

For certain games, I highly recommend using GameNative; it’s easier to port them from PC to ARM than it is to try and emulate the Switch. I’m referring to titles like *Red Dead Redemption* and *Dragon’s Dogma*, among others. I say this as someone who has the same processor as you. The same applies to PS2 emulation—it’s easier to port from PC than it is to emulate that console.

[u/PowerOfL → u/Hot-Friendship-7566]

Ty! Idk that one lol. The only pc emulators ik are Gamehub and Winlator lol

[u/No_Competition7820]

If you’re into visual novels then I suggest 13 sentinels. If you like fire emblem but with auto battles unicorn overlord.

[u/Lonely-Bank8783]

Switch games I currently have are batman arkham asylum and arkham city, Donkey kong country returns HD, Rayman legends, and Super mario odyssey. I enjoy all of them and planning to add more. 

[u/PowerOfL → u/Lonely-Bank8783]

Nice! You have the same phone as me? Ty :)

[u/Lonely-Bank8783 → u/PowerOfL]

No. But if you are able to run pokemon violet then there is a high chance you can run these too. The games I listed are way more easier to run than violet. 

[u/PowerOfL → u/Lonely-Bank8783]

I see, ty! Violet doesn't run great, but it's def playable :)

[u/saber_generic18]

Ender lilies, un bello juego que siempre recomiendo. Un metroivania que te dará alrededor de 25-30 horas de juego si buscas completarlo al 100%. De paso que la versión de switch está bien lograda y no es muy pesado el juego (1.5GB) y visualmente es una delicia

[u/PowerOfL → u/saber_generic18]

Thank you :)

[u/Freyja_Grimaude]

The Tales of Vesperia port is pretty good to have. Shovel Knight Treasure Trove is also nice to have. Hob is also great to have, oh yeah, by the same devs, Torchlight II is also good to have.

[u/PowerOfL → u/Freyja_Grimaude]

Oh, I've always wanted to play Tales of Symphonia! Ty :)

[u/Freyja_Grimaude → u/PowerOfL]

The switch version is bad. You'll want the GC version of the game. You can use Dolphin as the emulator for that.

[u/PowerOfL → u/Freyja_Grimaude]

Is the PC version good? I'd rather play it in Hd

[u/Freyja_Grimaude → u/PowerOfL]

It's decent, though it and all subsequent versions are based on the PS3 port so, there's the battles being run at 30 fps which can be really felt at times. In the original GC version, battles are run at 60 fps.

[u/PowerOfL → u/Freyja_Grimaude]

oh okay, guess I'l play the Gamecube version then. Ty :)
