Well, almost: Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Chaos Rings, Chaos Rings II, Chaos Rings Ω, Ingress, Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice Cities wouldn't be 'casual'.

Then there's also: SMS, N, SG, SD, NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBA, DS, PSX, GC, Wii and PSV emulators that contain 'non casual' games.

Many of those games lose a great deal of interactivity and control when ported to a touch only interface though. Turn based games like Final Fantasy fair well though on touch interface, but real time games like GTA not as much. I wouldn't call games like GTA III casual on mobile, but I don't think they quite appeal to the exact same audience they did on consoles or PC.

GTA III and Vice City are actually surprisingly good on mobile. I bought GTA III on a whim when I got my Nexus 7 last year with the Play store credit that came with it, and I actually loved it. It took me probably 20 minutes to get a feel for the controls and ended up playing the game all the way through after a while (halfway through Vice City now). Rockstar really nailed the controls for the touch interface, at least on a tablet.

I have no problem with this because I use the GameKlip [0] with my I9300 and a Dualshock 3 controller.
