Love this game on my IPod touch and now looking forward to getting it for my Desire.
http://www.product-reviews.net/2010...o-android-following-iphone-app-store-success/
Somebody even emailed the developer (response below)
I emailed Rovio and this was the response that I received about the release of Angry Birds for Android.
"We are still testing the game on a lot of Android handsets and due to our summer vacations most of us will be away all of July so an August release looks most likely.
Cheers,
Matthew Wilson
Rovio Mobile"
After reading a few months ago an interview with the developer, who said he couldn't see himself producing this app for the android os as not as financially beneficial as the IOS, this could be confirmation that times are changing and that Android is now becoming a serious contender for the 'big boys' to start releasing some quality apps.
EA have already added fifa 10 so things look on the up
Yeah I read about this too. Can't wait for it. Will be able to stop borrowing the missus iPhone to get my angry birds fix. Iv seen no date or timeframe though.
I agree, can't wait for it myself. Wish it came out faster though. I also do think that developers for other platform need to really consider developing for Android. It somewhat annoys me that they don't always develop for it, even though now it is a huge platform. So huge that I had to wait like 2 weeks for my Desire to get to me

It would be nice if these apps could get out faster but I dont see it happening until we get a unified and settled hardware - software platform.

Nice game, Another one to keep an eye on is "reckless racing" by pixelbite!
Hooray!!
Give us more!!
So when when is Gameloft gonna Drop some Xoom Loving Games on us?
They were on the ball with the Samsung Galaxy Tablet. They had about 5 at launch.
ANyone know?
The Tab was released using an OS that was older. Honeycomb is brand new, and very different from its earler versions. Developers need time.
Has anyone tired to transfer games over from other devices via titanium backup?
I had no luck doing this on the Atrix, Gameloft games are by far the best you can get on Android. I would hope that they would eventually try and port a few to the XOOM.
I got a tweet from gameloft a few days again and they said they are working on it. No time frame.

That's all I can get out of em too. "Working on it"..
I've got a fever for some GT Racing on my XOOOOOOOOM.
I cant find N64oid in the market anymore. I have a Galaxy S and it used to show up fine, I even checked the website and it wasnt showing p anywhere. any ideas????
I confirm this ... am glad that I didn't buy it
Kris
Yeah its not there anymore =/ Hope its just for a code overhaul and that it will be back soon.
Looks like its a licensing Problem
http://code.google.com/p/n64oid/issues/detail?id=1
Ya that seems to be the problem on all the sites i am reading. something about the source that was used to port over was licensed differently and is not compatible with Google licensing. anyway its off the market!
This is the email I got directly from Yong this morning:
A great number of users are complaining about the compatibility and running performance. I am doing a rewrite of some of the core modules. Don't worry, N64oid will be back much better in 1-2 months.
Thanks for the understanding!

The app is not in the Market because I bet people where looking for legal copies of roms...hahahaha
@k4str0
I received the same email. Looks like it will be back on the market in a couple months. Looking forward to it.
Quite a long time... I guess there's nothing else we could do now but waiting and drinking tea
it was back yesterday for a second then went again!???
It seems unnecessary to remove an app while you perfect it. I've already paid for it, and now I won't be about to install it (via the Market at least) on my new phone in a couple of weeks. Poor show. I hope I won't be expected to pay for it again once it re-releases.
Must be because of the 2-300 morons that left negative rating and saying it was laggy and buggy and couldn't understand that this app was still in development which was clearly stated by the developper. Hope to see it in the market soon, till then, i'll continue playing starfox and super mario!
I don't mind the issue, won't stop me from advancing in Zelda OOT and Mario 64 haha. I have it backed up in Titanium Backup so I will still be using it until he puts it back on, I still am very satisfied ^_^
This makes me sad.
Reviews are easily changed, and that's the way the Market works. If an app improves significantly between releases then I, and plenty of others, will be inclined to revisit their review.
By removing the app altogether, it will prevent people who have bought the game and uninstalled it from reinstalling it in future. That isn't fair. Thankfully I still have it installed, and have made a backup of the APK.
I probably come across as more miffed than I actually am - I'm actually more pleased that he's taking the time to make some significant improvements, provided that I don't end up having to pay again for the re-release.
I don't know why they make such a big deal over "only use LEGAL roms", if you actually buy the games now the developers dont make a dime off of them since they stopped making them ages ago.
Hi I have just installed Nova 2 on my phone I'm running ke7 and every time I open the app I get a black screen and the game won't boot. Is anyone else having the same problem and does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Hi guys,
I initially bought the LG Optimus 2x but it had loads of issues with random reboots so returned it and paid the extra for the Galaxy S2 (Should have bought it in the first place!). I bought Starfront, Eternal Legacy, Sacred Odyssey, Asphalt 6, Nova 2, Shadow Guardian, Modern Combat 2 before all the problems started but because i paid via paypal i cant see any downloads in my history on the site as i've only now registered a username so i can post. I totally understand that it takes time to offer full support for every new handset model but would really appreciate an email with some download links as im happy to continue being a gameloft customer and so far am happy with the service. I can forward copies of all my purchase invoice emails from paypal/google checkout if necessary.
BTW i bought asphalt 6 from the market but its not yet listed on the SGS2
Many Thanks
Hi there! Our agent has contacted you.
Please check your mail
One of the agents contacted me, i gave them the full list of games plus all online reciepts and recieved texts and an email with links to 3 of the 7 games i purhcased within 4 days.
Whilst i appreciate the quickish response there was no mention of a refund for the remaining games that are currently 'incompatible' nor was there any further explanation as to WHY they are incompatible considering the device spec and the fact that i can run games 'Optimized for nVidia Tegra 2 processors' or any other current chipsets available with minimal fuss(root and a certain awesome app/drivers). Frankly i dont understand why there are different versions of the games depending on chipsets as this just adds to the fragmentation unneccessarily, just stick with a decent graphical standard (Opengl ES?) as you use practically the same graphics engine for every game.
Also i purchased N.O.V.A. 2 HD but was sent N.O.V.A 1 with again no explanation. I want either my games, my refund, or at the very least a decent explanation on the whole issue, certainly not to be treated like an idiot.
Whilst Gameloft may not appreciate why i havent just emailed support all this i get the impression that the person im dealing with there is more customer service helpdesk oriented and wouldnt understand half the aforementioned rant. No offense i just want the right people to see this and for other users to made aware so no-one else has to deal with the hassle.

I'm frustrated with the current lack of game support for the sgs2 especially from gameloft but dont get me wrong, you bought games for the lg x2, games obviously optimized to run with its hardware. It was your decision to return it and buy a sgs2 (good decision by the way!) but why should gameloft refund you the games they sold you for the lg 2x in the first place...they might (probably will) make them compatible with our device but until then I dont see why they should be obligated to do anything else....
I couldn't agree more. I had the i9000 and I swear more games worked on that than the "upgrade"
Agreed hardware it rips all over the sgs1 but for compatibility this phone is 100% lame

Whilst it would be good to have all games working, a little patience is required. I would say there are plenty of decent games on the phone. It can only get better too.
I´ve heard that OpenGL ES is a standard and requirement to android, and all phones support it.
But for games to work better with tegra, adreno etc they have to use *special* or *customised* instructions or whatever its called..
The Mali gpu dont need any *special* instructions for games to run good.
Samsung introduced a gpu that follow STANDARD OpenGL ES yet it is not supported lol.
A question tho, is there no way to make use of Chainfire 3D to run tegra, powerVR etc versions of gameloft games for sgs2?
I can´t make it work
lol

While companies like Samsung, Apple, HTC and LG are making lots of money, SE, with the ultimate XPlay still loses money and can't make it on top.
Why? This phone should've been selled like hot bread, it should've been as popular as the PSP or iPhone, it had and has so much advertisements, it's now on Minecraft site's front page, page visited by thousands of people.
With this sad news, they could leave the mobile industry in a few years...
I really don't understand.
As long as the community is alive, it's not took bad... (for us)
It sux that SONU ERIcson can't make money.. Not sure what they can do..

From the Article:
"This means that everything should be fine in Q3 and Sony Ericsson should be back in the black when the next report comes out."
As it also says, the earthquake had a huge impact on them, and this is after 5 consecutive quarters of profit. Wouldn't worry too much.
Earthquake in Q1 delaying the delivery of phones to all regions till start of Q3... No big surprise there.
However they should be fine soon.

I think they should have pushed the play more in the united states. I only saw 2 commercials and that was after the phone was already out in the market for a couple of months.

Yeah, maybe in Q3 they would have more profit, but just enough to cover that -50 mil.
The advertising campaigns in south america have been a real success. Most tweets in Spanish about the play are comments about them...
Also releasing it at the same time that they announced the Vita may be part of it. I know people who didn’t get one because the Vita is coming and this thing only plays PSX (And not many if you done use and emulator) and phone games. I was hoping for games designed with the play in mind and not just phone updated for the plays controls. This doesn’t work if not done right. A lot (not all) of people don’t like how they made the controls for all the good Gameloft and EA games.
It is not what I expected for sure. (But I still love it)

I have seen many in Canada. I watch a lot of Game related channels like G4TV.
I also agree with the other guys that say it will turn around soon.
Lack of mainstream games is the reason SEXPlay isnt doing as well as it should be.
I only bought the phone for emulation so I am happy whatever games do or do not get released for it.
However, I've read that 75% of Xperia Play owners have bought compatible paid games. That means that a niche is there.
Cant argue with that. I myself have bought most Gameloft games. Currently bought and loving Reckless Racing too
New Jrioni update has made Mame totally awesome aswell.

I bought the gameloft's all or almost all but mostly because they wete on offers like a pound each and some at three pounds but buy one get one free.

I have bought HEAPS of games and i don't usually do that for a phone.
I am pretty sure SE was losing this amount every year without having any of these droid phones but sales have picked up remarkably since they bought into android.
Sony has always threatened closing down their mobile arm but these figures aren't really anything alarming seeing that some regions are just getting the phone now and with the price drop more units are flying off the shelf.
I got all my gameloft games for free from underground community here, b'coz in our poor country, gameloft games are priced too high.. One gameloft game egual to a cost of my lunch + dinner here, sometimes even equal to breakfast + lunch + dinner

I have purchased a few.
I have also spent $Hundreds in iOS Games. The only thing keeping me from spending more on the Play is lack of memory. I don’t want to spend $70+ on a bigger SD card. The 16GB one cost me over $30.

poor country lol. That is no excuse.
In NZ and AU we pay 6 - 8 dollars per game and I also can get a cheap breakfast/lunch for that price.
Also rather annoying because the AUD is as strong as the USD yet we pay more.
Either way that is no excuse for pirating... You are essentially saying "I should get things free because I can't afford it" and you may as well walk into a Games store, take a game off the shelf and put it in your pocket and walk out, if you have that logic.
