Not huge enough to bring splitscreen multiplayer?

What's the crunch like at Game Freak? Is this great until four months before release and then all bets are off?

@N8tiveT3ch Dodonpachi Resurrection Just got surprise added to Apple Arcade this morning. Doesn't look like it has controller support though, sadly.

It was a nice little game but, except for a bit of Pokemon Go, I basically stopped playing all Nintendo's icky gatchas when Apple Arcade came along.

They might keep it to mobile for now, but as a generation grows up who are used to Roblox and Fortnite, they won't see dedicated hardware as a reason to pay for games. And as hardware becomes more generic, and streaming becomes more widespread, the dedicated hardware, premium, games will look more and more of an oddity in the marketplace.

Too late. They already went all in on Fire Emblem.

I was quite enjoying this, not having ever played a Dr. Mario game before. But the stupidly limited hearts trying to extract my money, and repeatedly losing progress to lost connections were getting frustrating, so I thought I’d check out the original on Switch Online, and man is it hard! I’m a reasonably decent Tetris player (not amazing, but generally top 30 in 99, which I guess makes me above average), but gave up in frustration after a couple of levels of Dr. Mario. I guess you had to learn it before getting old.

@RadioHedgeFund Really? Try playing Flight Control, Trainyard, or the original Robot Unicorn Attack on a modern iPhone.

If this game doesn’t have a local multiplayer mode that rips of Ultimate Chicken Horse wholesale, Nintendo have no idea what they’re doing.
