Apple Arcade desperately needs an Infinity Blade or an equivalent killer app. Shinsekai: Into the Depths... isn't it. They were parading it like a graphical showhorse, but there are way more impressive-looking smartphone games out there that released years ago. Sayonara Wild Hearts looks awesome but is niche and multiplatform. Frogger ain't it, either.

Looks like this team is continuing their tradition of names that barely make any sense

Thank you Jesus. After it leaked ages ago I was hoping this was just held back for Apple Arcade and not canned entirely. Sadly I likely won't be able to play it since I have no plans to get an iPhone and apparently it won't work on Mac without upgrading to Catalina... but it's nice to see the IP still lives!

Infinity Blade. In 2019. Stop it.

In for that price.

The first two games they showed were bad but given the previews I'm confident there will be plenty of good stuff.

perhaps. i tried steam link on the Apple TV beta and was able to use my PS4 controller. i also tried a racing game and it worked like butter. if your game has existing controller support the xbox controller should work on the beta.

I think this has the potential to be extremely successful! They've certainly started out with a bang. Apple really knows how to announce a product/service.

Personally, I have zero interest in the platform due to not owning nor ever wanting to own another Apple product, plus my little gaming time is well spent on traditional consoles.

Thanks. Was wondering since the Apple Arcade section had been started off with an "only on Apple Arcade" statement.

Frankly, I'm surprised that Nintendo didn't step up with a Super Mario Run like mobile game where monetization would be a bad design to see if the subscription model is a good idea for them.

Heck, put SMR on the service as is and give it a go.
