Preserving video games is difficult. In particular, mobile ones often represent a big challenge, with servers being shut down, digital-only sales and obsolete platforms that are no longer supported.
There are even platforms that have only been available in some territories, such as “feature phones” (or “keitai”) cell phoneswhich preceded modern smartphones and which were very successful, so much so that they were supported by many important local publishers, such as Capcom. In any case, many games are considered irretrievably lost, also because it is not possible to download them in any way.
Saved games
The only way to preserve them is luck, practically, that is recover them from phones where they have not been deleted and which are still working. Last month, @YuviApp he recovered nineCapcom’s own, which were considered lost forever.
Among these are two role-playing games exclusive to keitai: Your Planet and Hajimari no Doukutsuas well as the spin-off Devil May Cry Deadshot. There are also conversions, such as Rockman X and Area 88, which do not reach the quality of the originals, but remain interesting from a historical point of view.
We see the complete list of saved games:
- Area 88 – conversion
- Biohazard ATN – conversion
- Daimakaimura – conversion
- Devil May Cry Deadshot – original
- Devil May Cry Dante x Vergil – original
- Warriors of Fate – conversion
- Rockman X – conversion
- Hajimari no Doukutsu – original
- Your Planet – original
