DotEmu, Developers of 'Ys Chronicles' and 'Another World' on iPhone, Are Updating Their Catalogue for iOS 11

The tweet from them also states that the games will be updated for iOS 11 firmware support soon. This is a lot better than some studios who are "exploring the possibility" of or "looking into" updates. I look forward to replaying Another World once it is updated but mostly I'm just hoping DotEmu is secretly ...
