What are the challenges of bringing a shooter to mobile devices?

The main challenge definitely lies in designing a touch-based control scheme that makes the game playable and accessible without loss of functionality. With the original game using two analog sticks as well as ten buttons, many aspects of the control scheme needed to be considered to ensure a minimal context sensitive interface be displayed to the player. In terms of playability, analog aiming mechanics designed around the mobile paradigm were important to ensure the FPS mechanics weren't to be a source of frustration for users.

Sounds like this will be a solid port.

A new port is always good news, but I don't see that many people being interested in it. I deleted a GBA emulator off my phone out of frustration within minutes of downloading it. Something about not pressing keys or buttons disturbs me.

Totally off-topic, but my old boss informed me I can apparently sell my phone for a lot of money online because I have Flappy Bird downloaded on it.

Not for much longer.
