I still want Sunless Sea and Prison Architect on iPad.
I wonder how well The Escapists would work on it....?

Lumines should be out tomorrow (soft launch). So tempted to make a NZ account just for it.
But apparently we won't be able to buy it. Which is why I still haven't created a NZ account.

Yes, I think there's a f2p multiplayer Lumines coming.
Got me exited then, thought there was new info. Pitta seemed to think it was coming this year.

There have been countless games like it on the AppStore already... maybe this is the original one, but is not as novel as it was once on the PSP
It's not the original one, it's build for iOS. And Lumines is still THE LUMINES. Hope to read impressions when it have been out for a while.

Yeah. In a few countries.

$2.99 in the US in Sept. I'm just pumped they have some of the original music from the 1st one in it like shinin.

My bad...I got excited because it was new info to me lol, had no idea. Hopefully it happens sometime this year.
I would happily pay $30 to have Lumines on my iPad now.
At least Touch Arcade is finally writing about the soft launch.
Also, Fugl is releasing in January / February 2017.

Chances are the tweet you saw was to answer one of mine (I send them one every month or so
).I was told they planned to port it, but to be honest I thought they meant to do so LAST YEAR.
Instead, they ported it to every possibile console/portable/microwave owen (even PS VITA!) before the iOS version (surprisingly because the game is meant to be on a touch device imho).
I think iOS is the only device missing from all the ports, so I hope to see it soonish.
But besides some answer tweets, I never saw a solid confirmation like WE ARE WORKING ON IT, JUST SUBMITTED THE FIRST ALPHA or something like that

So hey, five months left to see
I'll reach out to them see if they have new info on the mobile version
So I have now created myself a New Zealand account, and is now looking for a place who sells these iTunes Gift Cards and preferably sends the voucher code online - do any of you know of any places?
Offgamers don't sell NZ cards, and I think Harvey Norman only sends physically. Can't find anything on Amazon too.

Actually, it is possible buying it off the New Zealand store. Just find a New Zealand iTunes Gift Card. Tell me if you find a place who sells them.
Did you guys see the Giant bomb guys put up a Hitman....I mean Dues Ex (Thanks Madridista) Go video?

Haha. Oops
First impression of Lumines from Sanuku on Touch Arcade.
It seems to play very nicely, with just a few technical hickups. For the price you pay, you get two song packs, and there's not anymore in-game store yet, so expect to pay extra for upcoming song packs, which is fine by me. We already get the original Lumines' song pack and other classics.
I'm very hyped for this.

I mentioned earlier that Nintendo going mobile could be a gift and a curse with them making extra peripherals for their games adding an extra cost. Just realized they already started with the Poke Go Plus.
It might just be with how popular the game is, but please Nintendo, don't do this for every game. No one wants to lug around extra accessories for mobile gaming. At least, I don't.

just reading about lumines makes me happy - I'm rooting around for my old psp to play a bit - the vita version never captured the magic of the first one - actually I liked the second one too
I will totally support this game - I've bought every version in every format I think - might be the most times I've "dipped" on a game.
presbyopia forces me to use reading glasses with my psp and vita now - crazy that I was playing it ten years ago - the game stays the same and I'm breaking.

I could see the iOS version of Darkest Dungeon being one of the best versions of the game. It's turn-based gameplay and rogue like nature lend well to mobile. Kinda like how the iOS version of Papers, Please would be considered the best version by some.

More hands on from TA

Yeah I saw it in the other Lumines thread , it sounds very good. I'm still bothered that we can only rotate the blocks one way though, and not both ways during gameplay. But classic tracks like Shinin are back so that's a promising start! Here's hoping for more DLC packs down the line. I can see myself going for Endless unlocks for all of the tracks. Seriously my most anticipated iOS game.
Last night I also ended up playing Card Crawl for a long time and it is really good. Although I were left confused as to why I had to play the same over and over again, but I guess I have to slowly unlock the side things and then go for the quests.

Cosmos Rings is a SE RPG for Apple Watch.
Would totally give this a go if it comes to the US.

Guild of Dungeoneering is actually pretty decent. The gameplay is simple enough and the narrator and dialogue are chuckle worthy. While not much, there is some strategy involved in the combat.

Motorbike racing fans, SBK 16 now available.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sbk16-official-mobile-game/id1112922482?mt=8
Awesome. 15 was good, tough without assists though.
Looks like this one got a boost in graphics. Pic showing on board view too this year, that was missing from 14 and 15.
Downloading it now, love these games. I wish Milestone did a MotoGP mobile game.

I noticed that too. I'll give it a try on my iPad Pro. Never tried a motorcycle game on it anyway.
[edit] okay this game is bug-filled, or at least it's unplayable on iPad Pro. When starting the race, the screen either start rotating in all directions or it decides to show in portrait when I'm holding it in landscape. Deleted straight away.

Plays great on the phone, seems a lot less twitchy in cockpit mode than last year's. And THANK GOD they lessened the horizon tilt. Feels much better than 15, especially the braking. Love the new on board view, although the FOV is deep for the MV Agusta and Yamaha, it's similar to the "tuck" position in the console versions. Graphics look much better, sky boxes changed on some tracks. I'm glad they included the new Germany track for Round 10.
I've been missing a good bike game on the phone. The MotoGP game they have is simply a timing game for pressing brake and gas at the right time. It's fun but a bummer it's not a proper racing game.
Can't wait to try this on iPad, I'll test to see if I get the same glitches. I did find the rider select can be glitchy/choppy going across the list of choices.
Paid for ads free immediately. This just made my day!
