Whoa

Pocket Card Jockey stays one in every of my all-time favourite video games for the Nintendo 3DS. I completely adore that little mash-up of solitaire and horse racing. The truth is, it’s one in every of simply two video games that I nonetheless play with some regularity on my New Nintendo 2DS XL (the opposite being Fantasy Life). That’ll change later this month when Pocket Card Jockey involves Apple Arcade. Pocket Card Jockey: Journey On! revives the Recreation Freak traditional for iOS gadgets as an Apple Arcade unique. The sport will function races rendered in 3D together with the traditional gameplay that made it so addictive.

You would possibly keep in mind Recreation Freak had ported the unique Pocket Card Jockey to Android not lengthy after the sport launched for 3DS, however that model was by no means localized outdoors of Japan. Whereas this model of the sport is completely different than the Android port, it’s one more long-lost cellular title that has been rescued for the Apple Arcade service. You would possibly keep in mind PlatinumGames’ World of Demons disappeared from app shops after its authentic smooth launch solely to pop up as an Apple Arcade unique many months later. The identical factor occurred with Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls.

Whereas the Apple Arcade launch calendar isn’t as thrilling because it as soon as was, it’s comforting to know that Apple is sticking with the service and bringing enjoyable new titles like Pocket Card Jockey: Journey On! to subscribers. Journey On! is one in every of just a few video games introduced for a January launch, with the others being Episode XOXO from Pocket Gems, the jigsaw puzzler Illustrated, and physics puzzler Squiggle Drop.
