Sometimes the success or failure of a game may come down to its availability on certain platforms and systems. Sometimes an MMO that didn’t work that great on PC may be a smash hit on console, and sometimes a MMO may do way better on mobile than otherwise.
I’ve long thought that there is a lot of potential for adapting certain MMOs to mobile, especially if they don’t work out so well on computers. There was a whole lot of interest in the Final Fantasy XI port, for example, until that got nixed, but it doesn’t have to stop there. I think that titles such as MapleStory 2 and Glitch could’ve done gangbusters on mobile, as they were perfect for that format.
What say you? What MMOs — past or present — would do great as a mobile port?
