Core gamers aren't the target market for Labo. It will be a success with casuals, especially kids. It doesn't matter what SW thinks.

Nope. And neither is Witcher 3.

I don't think most Lems even care about Japanese games.

Nintendo Switch. It's portable.

@Pedro: The longest were arcade classics like Space Invaders and Pac-Man which were still raking millions decades later.Among modern games, the longest are Lineage and Maple Story, though they're not ...

WOW used to be my favourite MMO a decade ago. But since then, my favourite MMO has been TERA. It has a much better combat system than WOW.

@texasgoldrush:Breakout (essentially a single-player Pong) is irrelevant, since it doesn't have those Japanese game design elements (i.e. brutal punishing difficulty, repeated failures, restart after ...

@texasgoldrush:Asteroids adapted those game design elements from Space Invaders, as did other Western arcade games that incorporated those elements. Asteroids only overtook it in the US, whereas Space...

Bad. Metacritic is trash.

What kind of simulation games are you talking about? Simulation is a very broad genre, covering everything from racing sims and vehicle sims, to social sims and dating sims, to war sims and management...

@texasgoldrush: Brutal punishing difficulty, repeated failures, and restart after death, are all native to Japanese game design, especially arcade game design. Space Invaders had all of these elements...

Labo looks like something Nintendo would've made in 1889.

They want a piece of that Battle Royale money.
