  1. I highly recommend checking out Meteorfall! It’s a deck building rogue like with simple swipe left or right interaction. Streamlined yet plenty of depth and discovery in there. I’m enjoying it.


  2. Jason Schreier (Kotaku) is playing a preview build and posting on Twitter about it, answering questions. Saw way better than either demo and after two hours gut reaction is it's real good. Positive sign.

     

    Edit: Square Enix is calling Omen a CG trailer fwiw


  3. If Nintendo consolidates it's handheld and home console markets in to one bigger audience then I could see sales being pretty decent, even for third party. Would be a smart move. There is the issue with too many 1st party games being on only one of the two Nintendo hardware currently so removing that obstacle would also be good for fans. Combine I can play all Nintendo made games where I want and give me some of my favorite console/PC indie and AAA games with ability to take them with me, that will turn heads.

     

    The biggest if for me is what will the limitations be? Focusing on single screen eliminates a lot of backward compatibility options. There are rumors of weird stuff based on patents like a project that can show game related images in real world (because gimmick). Will the transition from dock to mobile be smooth and seamless as commercial makes it appear. Will there be any early Nintendo first party must have games? How good are Battery and internet on the go? What is the revamped Nintendo online service going to be like?

     

    If the hardware executes on all the promises implied in the commercial and there are good enough games to warrant switching, they should do well enough. If the execution of the platform itself isn't there, they may have another struggle on their hands. That they are staying mum until the new year (less than 3 months before launch) is really strange and concerning. That Bethesda says they are partnering with Nintendo and worked with them on the video but would not confirm any game coming to Switch is also concerning. I don't understand what they hope to gain out of the lack of information. That said, I am firmly entrenched in the cautiously optimistic stage at the moment which is higher on it then I thought I would be.


  4. The wrist control is very cool. Perfect for making you feel like you're in a sci-fi movie. Never thought of using a wrist object as either control or just a UI element ala that Justin Timberlake movie In Time. Opens up cool immersion opportunities.


  5. I actually have only won with Rogue so far. Will have to think on what my strategy was. Monk is awesome and you'll like it. Specializes in defense and I have multiple ways to stun opponents.

     

    Deck exclusive effect spells do "add 2 armor and stun 1 turn" and play a freakin wild card


  6. They are a little shorter than I'd prefer but the puzzle games by Maciej Targoni are clever. Does a great job of slowly integrating new mechanics as you progress. On phone so can't grab link, sorry. Suggest buying klocki and hook for 0.99 each (USD).
