Square Enix is Opening an Android based app store!

by Elias - on Nov 22nd 2011 - No Comments

Being that Android is becoming much more popular than iOS, the folks over at Square Enix will be launching an Android based app store. This is something that Android needed and hopefully other publishers follow the Square Enix aproach and bring their games on these smartphones. With dual core processors, Android phones will make it possible for gamers of all types enjoy their gaming on the go and let’s not forget Gingerbread & Ice Cream sandwich versions of Android that will make things run smoother.

The app store, which will be named “Square Enix Market app” is set to launch on December 1, 2011 and will feature some cool games like Dragon Quest Monsters Most Wanted!, Chaos Ring, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and Itadaki Street.

If you are living in Japan and are using the KDDI network you will be granted exclusive access to the store at launch. Those that are using the DoCoMo & Softbank networks will not have to wait long until it becomes available. Unfortunately North American Square Enix Fans out there will not be treated with the app as it is a Japanese exclusive, however it’s still nice to see that a game publisher is thinking about Android.
