Lumines Remastered Review
I missed Lumines in its 2004 heyday. While I have since grown up to embrace a platform-agnostic lifestyle, this game came out during a time when I was a fierce Nintendo loyalist and wanted nothing to do with anything associated with the PlayStation brand. So much so, that I actually got a PSP for free and sold it a few days later before even opening the box. Despite seeming to be a game right up my alley, this was caught squarely in the crosshairs of my overzealous fandom.
Fast forward to 2018 and Lumines finally makes its way to a Nintendo console, among other platforms to receive Lumines Remastered. Not to say that I wouldn’t have played it on something else, but the Switch seems like a great place to play this specific game due to its pick-up-and play nature and how well it could work as a portable experience. Does this blast from the past still shine in modern times?
Vs. #51 in the world in Pocket Rumble
The game’s wonky matchmaking pitted me against one of the best players in Pocket Rumble‘s early stages. He blew my mind with a Diago-esq parry, but did I have enough in me to make it competitive or even win the set?

In this modern era of fighting games, the subject of accessibility has been one of the community’s hotly-debated topics. It’s no secret that the genre is impenetrable for most due to an inherently steep learning curve created by complex inputs, game design that greatly rewards skill and knowledge, and a seemingly endless wave of players locally and online that are ready to stomp newbies out until they give up. From masher-friendly auto combos in Dragonball FighterZ, to more lenient input timings in Street Fighter V, to the most extreme simplification of the genre in Divekick where each character only has 1 move, developers have and will continue to search for ways to bridge the skill gap without compromising what makes fighting games fun in the first place.
Combining a Neo Geo Pocket aesthetic with a two-button interface, simplified special move inputs, and a wallet-friendly price point, Pocket Rumble from Cardboard Robot Games is the genre’s latest attempt at accessibility. Does this game have what it takes to bring the joy of fighters to a larger audience?

Thanks For the Belated Birthday Present!
Back in May, I happened to receive two Nintendo Labo Variety Kits as presents. My sister-in-law and her boyfriend decided to return theirs, and they recently gave me the Robot Kit instead! Thank you!
Having recently built the Motorcycle Toy-Con, we’re 4/5ths of the way through the Variety Kit. After the piano, on a day where we have a whole afternoon to dedicate to this, we’ll definitely take a stab at building the robot. While I am not the intended audience, and I do have concerns about the software from the Variety Kit, I do see the value in the Labo experience, as the building process is rather enjoyable. Stay tuned for my impressions of this, plus a video of me stomping around in a cardboard robot suit!
