Reviews: What People Think About ArcEmu - Watch Emulator

James Pound IV

Rating: 5/5

This is an insanely cool concept to be able to play game boy and game boy advance games on your watch. But to be usable, it needs a few improvements. I'd love it if you could swipe to hit two buttons, like pressing right for Mario and swiping up onto A to jump. Right now, a new tap is required for any distinct action. In addition, volume controls would be great. Edit: thanks for the reply! My suggestion with swiping is more so just to allow rollover between the right and A buttons, like how it is between the up and down dpad buttons now. Edit 2: Yes, overall I think it's intuitive to allow swiping button presses on any button. More freedom that way. The buttons are quite large so accidental swipes should be a minimum. That allows games like Mario to be played (the new crown button remap option works well there too).

I’m incredibly impressed with how well I’m able to emulate gameboy and gameboy advanced games on my Apple Watch. It’s amazingly simple with this app to add roms from your phone and they play impressively well on such a small screen. You would be surprised how well you can view these games on such a small screen and fit in the controls as well. Some games that require a lot of quick button pressing and reaction time might not be best on the watch app but I highly suggest giving games which allow for more reaction time such as turn based strategy, and rpgs a try on this. For instance any of the Pokémon games would be great on this. The price is unbeatable for the ability to add vastly better games on your Apple Watch than any that exist on the App Store.

It’s amazing. The ability to play GBA games on my AWU is surreal and a dream come true. Being able to access the same save file from my phone and watch is really what makes this app incredible. Outside of that, it’s an emulator that works very well on my phone (and watch) and if you’re looking for one that’s reliable and easy to use, this is it. Customizable button locations for the phone (not watch but it’s fine since it’s so small anyway), speed modification, save states, independent audio controls, and link cable feature - it’s perfect.
