Heads up! As part of today?s Nintendo Direct (https://youtu.be/0ER2hl7HUWI?feature=shared), it was announced that Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On, the previously Apple Arcade exclusive remake of the 2014 3DS title, is releasing on Nintendo Switch today.
I played the hell out of Pocket Card Jockey when it released on 3DS all those years ago. I can remember being pretty mesmerized as I trained up the best horse possible. I never did beat it, however. I remember hitting some resistance that I couldn?t overcome.
Everything else about that game is a blur to me. That?s basically it. I can remember cards, horses, and the fact that I couldn?t complete the game.
The game is like if you crossbred the Japan-only Derby Stallions series with Solitaire. You breed horses, then race them while doing card stuff to win. Really, I don?t remember what kind of card stuff, but if you watch the trailer in the Nintendo Direct, maybe you can grok it better than I can.
If my praise of the original version isn?t enough, our old pal CJ Andriesson said that Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On was?already a contender for [his] personal Game of the Year? when it released on Apple Arcade last year (https://www.destructoid.com/pocket-card-jockey-ride-on-apple-arcade-impressions/).
Anyway, I know what I?m doing today. Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On releases today on Switch. Now, excuse me while I keep refreshing the eShop page.
