Acclaimed Isometric Adventure Lumo Is Coming To The Nintendo Switch

E-Shop again ??
Why ??

Woot, more gamez

That looks great. Reminds me of Landstalker.

This is becoming gaming overload! I may need this game as well. You can't say the Switch lacks games. AAA 3rd's yes but there is a lot of games already with many more to come.

The main character reminds me of Orko from He-Man.

@Anti-Matter Because it's cheaper than producing physical copies of said game, especially when the Switch is cartridge based.

How much will it be? I'm hoping 20 bucks or less.
It looks cool.

Any dates?

Did they use the Ubisoft logo for the "O"?

I got it free on PS4. It was a decent little game but I got fed up at the ice section. The camera and controls were not designed for precision platforming, let alone on ice.

Er, Final Fantasy called, and it wants its Vivi character design back... This actually looks pretty cool - has a Little Big Adventure vibe.

Does anybody remember the isometric games from UltimatePlayTheGame on the Speccy (Knight Lore, Alien 8, if I'm not mistaken). Loved those in the day. Gosh I feel old now.

I learnt about isometric projection at school.
This is not an isometric game, as it has perspective!

Was going to pick this up on the Vita earlier in the year, glad I held off now.

I used to love this genre in the spectrum/ultimate days so I'm pretty excited about this one!

@Dudikowski yup! No color clash

Played it on vita, i wasted my money

It ran like garbage on vita, found it really complicated to find my way around. Good though!

@Dudikowski - yes, I remember Knightlore!

UltimatePlayTheGame were so mysterious at the time, the games coming in a black box with a sticker of the cover art and no game photos (if memory serves).

Knowing it was from Ultimate, you knew it was going to be good and indeed, Knightlore was stunning, never done before. Exciting times, genuinely new stuff coming out regularly.

It cost though! A massive £9.99 when other games were around £5. (Or £1.99 from Mastertronic - the eshop of the day, indie (read one kid in a bedroom) games of varying quality and some utter gems.

looks cool. I think it was free on Vita but I never touched it

@Anti-Matter because it is 2017, Video Games are Software, software in the 21st century is largely distributed digitally across pretty much every product spectrum, as well as other media and entertainment businesses.

Or how about the simple fact that "eShop" distribution puts more Actual Money™ into the hands of producers of the products (developer studios) and the platform stakeholders (in this instance, Nintendo) which allows them to improve and grow.

Was fun on Vita two years ago...

I've never heard of it, but it looks very cool. $19.99 on eshop?

@MrKai
I prefer Physical retail because I feel I own the thing in physical retail.
I don't care about the price nor the convenience being digital. I want my purchase things are Real, not in digital form.

@Mii_duck They were sooo good - ended up as Rare in the end. I think I owned nearly all of their games on my good old Spectrum.

This looks like a remake of Solstice on the NES. That one game with the BEST TITLE SCREEN SONG in any NES game.

But seriously it has the little wizard guy, the isometric view and everything.

@Supaguy Damn right!

Um, there's a reason they don't make isometric platformers and adventure games anymore. That's because the movement controls in those games suck in comparison to true 3D games. The only genre where isometric perspectives still work well (after you take off the nostalgia glasses) is the beat 'em up genre.

This is my kind of game!

But with indie games getting as big as they are, and physcial releases seemingly only feasible for big name publishers, the Switch might end up in a bit of a bind with it's limited internal storage.

I'm having Knight Lore flashbacks.

Doesn't look bad.

Looks nice but I think I'll just wait for Mario Odissey.

Looks like it's going to be released physically, but it's going up against Super Mario Odyssey...
