I ask this because while I know there can be twitchiness about ROM's I think this is worth discussing for the Mobile space. I mean for a bright, shining moment in the late 2000's, before the iPhone made it big in Japan and South Korea, there were legit remakes, remasters and all new games of pre-existing franchises. Some games may have been all new too.
These mobile games may have released only in Japan and South Korea; however not all games tried too hard to measure up on the 3D end. A few of the mobile games were also in 2D and looked quite good. War Of the Genesis had "Suplementary Story" in South Korea while three all new Last Bible games released on Mobile in Japan with another previously released on Gameboy only thus getting a facelift on Mobile.
Thankfully the mobile exclusive Last Bible games are up on the Japanese Switch eShop for sale under g-mode which I plan to buy.
So this all leads to me asking given some of these games ARE good and exclusively mobile is there any place to get the ROM's for the delisted one's or is it even possible? If it is, is there ANY preservation effort underway?
I wanted to buy "Supplementary Story" when I visited South Korea but it wasn't possible because it was limited to their market and they had better phones at the time. This was before the iPhone mind you
