3D Android Games Coming, But Will We See More 3D Android Smartphones?

In addition to providing the glasses-free 3D screen technology for the Nintendo 3DS, Sharp is launching its own 3D Android smartphones for the Japanese market under the Galapagos brand. With those smartphones, game studios Capcom, Konami, and Namco have announced a slew of 3D game titles for the glasses-free 3D screen on the Galapagos screens, which include Mega Man, Ghosts ‘n Goblins: Gold Knights, Resident Evil: Degeneration, Mobile Powerful Pro Baseball 3D, Taiko Drum Master, and Silpheed Alternative.Hopefully, those titles will get to see the light of day on other 3D-capable Android smartphones. Whether other smartphone makers will use Sharp’s 3D screen technology is unclear, but the novelty of 3D gaming should help Android an advantage in the gaming department against iOS, which already has a staple of quality games though none of which are available in glasses-free 3D tech.
