Vorgot Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Still play this on my 2DSXL, when I put CFW on it I lost my saves so had to start again. Love it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glb Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Forgot how hard I went in on this game. No surprise though, it’s brilliant. One of the best ‘out of nowhere’ gaming surprises I’ve ever experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotters Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Jeez this is stressful, being made to play a simple solitaire against the clock with everything else going on in race is almost the opposite of the cutesy presentation Messed up a few simple sequences just down to feeling the pressure of time. Good stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosegrinder Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Does anyone think it being on Apple Arcade is a good indicator that when the exclusivity expires we'll get a switch version? Sound reasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound reasonable? Yep, 5000%. Apple Arcade is basically early access. Apple give the devs some money to put the game on the service, which gives them a cash injection while they’re still developing.

Keyboard Koala Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Earlier today videogame site polygon.com posted a great article on this amazing 3DS game: https://www.polygon.com/23562906/game-freak-pocket-card-jockey-apple-arcade-interview Quote Game Freak programmer Masao Taya told Polygon that the team is focusing on future updates and monitoring feedback from Apple Arcade users, but wouldn’t rule out a Switch version of Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! He said: “We want to see the reaction we get and then we’ll think about the next step.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calashnikov Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 It was on My List of 3DS eShop exclusive games to get before the eShop closes, and I’ve spent the night playing the 3DS demo, getting hyped to buy it, but now I find out I can just play it on my phone I’m kinda gutted. I wanted it to be a particularly bright ember in my eShop closure money burning bonfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeDeDe Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I was really looking forward to the Apple Arcade port, but… Why is it presented in landscape? Just… why? It makes so much more sense in the original portrait orientation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOK Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The Apple version is lovely. Plays slightly differently to the 3DS one as it’s been simplified a bit, but it looks gorgeous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOK Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I find it much harder to predict the comfort zone on this phone version, and you seem to have a much smaller zone for picking up cards on the track, anyone else notice this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stopharage Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 If you’re in two minds about picking this up, don’t. I spent 5 hours playing this yesterday. 🤦♂️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOK Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Quote Although the visuals aren’t quite as charming as the Pokémon series What a bizarre thing to say, considering the visuals in this are about a thousand times more charming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOK Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Sweet Jesus, it’s a good job this is on Apple Arcade, as the fact I’m paying £5 a month to play it will be the only thing that manages to make me break free of it when it starts to build to a ridiculous cumulative fee for a game I already own on the 3DS.

disperse and recoagulate Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Turns out this is a great way to pass time in Teams meetings where my presence is required but my contribution is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOK Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Chirp is basically there to troll the player in this version. She'll turn up for every GIII race I run, but if it's a G1 she is nowhere to be found. Unless I've got no money of course, then she is guaranteed to roll up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOK Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I just got an alert to tell me @Petrousgyre had beaten me in the category of Most Winnings with a Single Horse - I didn’t even know we were competing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOK Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Also, I’m getting pretty sick of being entered into G1 races with my grade C horse and the race sheet looking like this: A++ horses?! Where did they come from? And of course you can only view the other entrants after you’ve wasted 300 coins on Chirps tricks… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume this is all still in the game, I’ve not got to it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
