[Q] Which games are nexus 9 compatible? - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am a happy owner of a nexus 9.
Apart from the bleeding at the edges and the fact that the back can be pressed in the middle, I am very satisfied with it. The downside will be that I will crave for a faster laptop, since it feels so slow compared to the Nexus.
Now I wanted to play some games to fully use the Tegra K1, however I do not know which are compatible with the Tegra K1/Lollipop/Nexus9. I tried Dungeon Hunter 4 as I like rpg's, but that onendidnnot work. I am willing to buy games if they are good enough but would prefer to know if they work on the nexus before buying.
If you have any suggestions let them know below.
Cheers Remco

Update:
Meanwhile Dungeon hunter 4 got an update. Now it works flawlessly.
Soulcraft also works great
Asphalt 8 too
Kritika (RPG) did not work
As I play other games I will mention them here.

I tried gta sa... it lags! Xcom too!

According to google play "Trine 2" does not work on the Nexus 9. At €15 for the game is it worth it on the shield?
Just download Shardlands and played for a while. Looks like a very good game, already paid €2.20 IAP to remove the ads. Good graphics and sound!

Marvel Puzzle Quest - NOT working. Closes automatically after loading screen.

Simpsons Tapped Out, god I wish I could stop occasionally loading this game, is currently crashing at the logo screen

Confirmed working:
Clash of Clan
Sky Force
Hitman Go
Zen Pinball HD - runs well but looks like its running at 720p = jaggies everywhere. This game looks better on my Nexus 5

...about Skylanders trap team?

Not Working - The Tower

Which version? 2? 2HD? What model did you download it for?
please answer!
Man these forums are dead =\
I've tried most of Gameloft's portfolio, and I've experimented with versions for many different devices. Unfortunately, even if they do run, they don't seem to run correctly. I've been using the HD versions, and they all run in a very small area in the middle of the screen. It seems that Gameloft has a bit of work to do on the optimization front. They just got around to optimizing most of their catalog for the Galaxy Tab 7, and they are starting to optimize some games for the Xoom, so we should be seeing some of their more popular games within a few weeks. If you're looking for high quality games, you should download the Tegra zone app and check out the games in there. I can say from experience that Riptide GP, Gun Brothers, and Galaxy on Fire 2 are amazing.
Gameloft's Asphalt 6 HD works fine too
No issues with the game on GT10.1
-Asphalt 6 is good. Theres quite a few cars, it's not really much different than Asphalt 5 though.
-N.O.V.A. HD kinda worked. It FC'd too much to play though and the controls were badly messed up.
-Modern Combat 2 boots up through the video at the beginning, but crashes instantly after.
-Spider Man also FC's alot like N.O.V.A. If it didn't FC as much as it does it would be alright.
I'll update this list as I try more, but so far it is just a ton of failure except for Asphalt 6. The graphics were fine.

I agree with your suggestions, but I don't know if Riptide is worth the money. It only has like 4 tracks and then it does all of the tracks in reverse and they all look the same.

Yeah, that's true, $7.00 for 6 tracks is a bit overpriced. The graphics are nice, if not a bit boring, but the other games are quite awesome. I also like Cordy, Apparatus, and I'm really looking forward to a few of the upcoming games in the tegra zone. Arma II looks awesome, Trainz Simulator (if reasonably priced) might be fun, and I'm just waiting for Monster Madness to launch.

Games

I didn't saw nobody talking about games and I know is only 2 points of multitouch on the screen but there is a lot of games that may work fine on the NT for example guerilla bob is working perfect and samuray 2 from the market , is any other games compatible with this device?
Shadow Gun runs great on my nook
I mostly play Pocket Legends and that runs beautifully. I tried a few other games and the only one the NT struggled with was CK Zombies.

Shadow gun? that's a good game I will have to try that thanks for the info.
I am not a fan of pocket legends but I am sure a lot of people is thanks
Tried Fruit Ninja and it works ... unfortunately most part of the games has small resolutions for the screen

download spareparts from the market and uncheck "compatability mode" and reboot. It should be full screen now
most games run great. if you have the market installed i recommend shadowgun like others have said but cordy and sleepy jack look AMAZING on the tablet and both run great. fruit ninja is full screen for me so no issues there. i also have windup knight, deathworm, cyberlords, x-men, defender and star blitz. all of them run well and most look fantastic (x-men is stretched but still plays fine)
So far my biggest disappointment was that I couldn't get Asphalt 6 HD to run. I also had no luck with Raging Thunder I or II.
Other than that I've been running: Shadowgun, SimCity Deluxe, Reckless Getaway, Reckless Racing Play (works but no sound), Fieldrunners HD, Backstab HD, Grave Defense HD, Air Attack HD, Zuma's Revenge HD, Iron Rusher, Iron Wars, Wind Up Knight, Defender, Sprinkle, Lane Splitter, all the Angry Birds games.
i got spareparts, didn't have to reboot, just unchecked compatibility, then booted up the game, worked fine
Just tried NOVA 2 and no dice. I get a prompt telling me its not compatible and to request a refund.
I'm still surprised though that it struggles with CK Zombies. There's a lag/stall at just about every gunshot. My phone, however, plays it with no problems at all and has lesser specs.

tried the first zenonia but i cannot find how to save.... so.... useless atm....
defender works very good (but i'm quite n00b so @level 27 start have some problems but this not belongs to Nook Tablet )
also majiong is ok
Shadow gun looks and plays amazing...

thanks guys NFS hot pursuit is working perfect at first the game got stuck on the loading window but after clearing data it works fine
Several games that didn't work before I got to work by copying over the versions from my Galaxy Tab. For example, Asphalt Adrenaline HD 6 works beautifully. Ditto Nova 2.
So just a heads up.. the Galaxy Tab version of certain games seem to work fine on the NT.
Also Riptide GP at the highest quality graphic settings looks simply stunning on the NT. The water FX look incredible and smooth as silk. Definitely a game to show off the NT's abilities.

I saw the videos once the uploaded them and they're amazing. What's the problem with asphalt 7 on the n10?
Well, now that it's patched, nothign except I keep getting bizarre physics glitches. Every time I do a takedown, every car on the track flies about 200ft in the air and falls down, making Knockdown challenges VERY hard. Especially getting 20 with the Alutec Boost One
Sometimes my car will spin 90 degrees, or even 180, on contact with a barrier or another vehicle.
Otherwise, I like it. However, Asphalt 8 has the Lamborghini Veneno in it...

The best.
I have to say, pixel gun 3d and rymdkapsel..
Those are very nice games.
As soon as the bug causing it to crash is fixed, XCOM will be the best game on this tablet IMO.

I just downloaded that and it's crashing also, almost 4 gigs it better be good. Did you try to delete the folder in the root of SD card? I did but still crashes. I'm gonna try to delete then open again, maybe it's like when gta San Andreas came out and you have to delete then re add the folder. When I get home I'll try and see if that worked and report back if it does.

I second that.
Impossible and infinite flight (both with full resolution) works more than great.
NFS Most Wanted works great but not the best on racing games.
Minecraft pocket edition, fancy & smooth. (Playing at full resolution!)
And other games works more than well in this tablet. (I played almost every game I had at 60 fps).

ravensword shadowlands seemed pretty good but i never got around to really playing it as i didnt care for the controls without a controller.
asphalt 8 runs really well for a racing game, but i liked ridge racer slipstream, even through the framerate was horrible.
hill climb racing is always fun and flappy bird is easier on the big screen.
punch hero was one of my favorites on my epic and it runs great.
segas sonic ports run really well but you need a controller. sonic just doesnt lend itself to touchscreens
i really want to try playing square enixs games, like the final fantasy ports and chaos rings, but i dont feel like paying $15 for a game i might play a few times
BADLANDS is amazing and very addictive. its like flappy bird, but mixed with limbo. its a great game that i highly recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frogmind.badland
A good side scrolling runner game that doesnt seem to get any notice is Polara. I got it as the FAOTD, but i really liked it.

Gameplay on Remix OS?

Am i play dream league(Or another games) on Remix OS?
I played Samurai 2 vengeance. It's laggy because I don't think it's using the gpu. Just tried Shadowgun and it played but very laggy.
Is games playable with keyboard or only mouse?
The Room 3 runs really smooth for me, but I can see multi touch for other games being a problem for my old laptop for sure.

I'm on a MacBook Pro and had two nice matches using my Mighty Mouse. I've never got my way using Tincore on my tablet, although it's the go-to app for this I find myself lost in the interface. Let me know if you do it, I'd great to have League of Legends mappings for this game. The graphics are awesome even compared to some of it's PCs counterparts.

Tincore will not run on Remix os dude due to the lack of permission to write over other Apps, To add salt to it Remix os dosen't support 3rd party launchers...So forget the Tincore keymapping on Remix OS for now:good:
Most games that I tried work flawlessly. Here is the list:
1) GTA VC,SA, 3.
2) Modern Combat 5 (****ty game though, boring ass story with no fun. Inapp purchase riddled)
3) Republique (Again, a boring ass game. Graphically great, but if you buy games to just salivate at the graphics, then buy this game. Otherwise, hit your head against a wall, that is more fun than this atrocity of a game. Cant believe that veteran game devs like the devs on metal gear series, fear etc made this. Shame)
4) Asphalt 8.
5) Real Racing 3.
6) Nova 3
Almost all games played on it without a problem. Except the ones with only touch control as an option. Gamepad supported games run amazingly.
I couldn'd get Asphalt 8 to work. Maybe it's a Radeon GFX Card Problem.
Unfortunately i also can't get Dragon Souls working. Can't get past save import screen.
But i am very happy that Alto's Adventure is fully playable, even with the xbox 360 controller. It looks gorgeous on 21:9 screen.

Hey... Just to be sure... Is the gamepad supported?... I am now copying all my games to remix os
I could not for the life of me get Real Racing 3 to recognize my xbox 1 controller at all! Is there anyone here that got the game to work with any controller? (Not a keyboard a controller)
Real Racing 3 works . Asphalt 8 works and even has keyboard support in-built. Gameloft might me money hungry whores, but they know how to make a nice racing game. That is until you realize that you are better off playing Need for Speed Ungerground 1 and 2 on an old silly PC rather than these vile in-app purchases filled atrocities .
Gaming on android really sucks. C-Ops however is one really good game. In-app purchases, yes, but no pushing. I got all the weapons for free anyways. Since my phone lags like **** on that, I played it on the remix installation and it sucks. Android x86 roms runs it just fine.
