There's quite a few there aren't mobile games. If it was designed for a console or computer originally then it's not a "mobile" game, regardless of how many remakes/ports it has to mobile.

Doesn't matter anyway unless you want to discount all ports of all games on all platforms. Steeet Fighter 2??? Sorry SNES, that was an arcade game. Metal Gear? nope. It's not like I gave credit to games that were ported poorly.

Knights of Pen and Paper?

I looked briefly at most of these, they mostly look kinda crap but some of them look interesting. I'd be really interested in seeing a curated list of actual decent mobile games. It really gets on my tits when I read 'mobile games' and then see stuff like 'Baldur's Gate 2'. Fuck off, that's not a mobile game, I have a PC with an ultrawide monitor to play games like that on.

It seems like of lazy to just post a list of game titles and not even explain what the fuck they are.

Here are the first few I went through:

Aliens vs Pinball - a pinball game??? this can't be any good, surely
Ancient Bricks - some kind of Arkanoid clone?
Beyond Oasis - some kind of old-school MegaDrive adventure game?
Dungeons of Chaos - top-down RPG? Ultima-style?
Exiled Kingdoms - aRPG Diablo-lite?

The only two decent mobile games I've ever found were The Room and Space Marshals. Neither of which were RPGs.

just play f-zero on a snes emulator
On mobile?
I have two different SNES emulators on my old Android tablet. So I bet they still exist for recent versions of Android OS and wouldn't be much of a stretch if they also exist for IOS.
A tablet isn't a mobile phone
It uses the same OS, so if an app exists for one, it exists for the other.

Here, have 5 SNES emulators for Android phones:
There are plenty of other SNES Emulators in the App Store, some free and some paid.

I can't access Itunes Store from this computer, so I can't share some SNES emulators for IPhone. But they exist (for example, I know Snes9x EX also exists for it).
