Sooooooo.... This is a mobile game, or what?

Yacht Club Games has shat out so many games at this point, I can't keep up.

Funny, I only know the company for Shovel Knight. Not much else.

Especially because their website only lists 4 games, this new one included, and all of them being Shovel Knight centric...

Weird, from a game named "Pocket Dungeon", I expect it to be a mobile game of some sort.

This look like it could easily be on mobile. If it ain't, well, that's just disappointing.

Well at some point they're gonna have Cyber Shadow, so...

I always thought it was odd that even though there were a bazillion, brazen Dr. Mario knockoffs and even one clone of Yoshi that I can recall, I don't think I ever saw someone try to copy Wario's Woods.

Of course, it doesn't look like this is a direct copy of Wario's Woods either, but it's kind of close.

I was thinking the same thing. The only way this could be more confusing would be if they named it "shovel knight mobile".

EDIT: from the press release kit, the platforms are "TBD" (To Be Determined). Still...I'm going to assume that at least the switch is a given...

1) By Yoshi, you probably mean Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon.
2) It’s nowhere close to Wario’s Woods.

No, by Yoshi, I mean Yoshi, wiseguy.

Well, you haven't played it yet, have you?

You control a character that runs around trying to match up blocks. It's a lot closer to Wario's Woods than a lot of other things.

1) Ah, right. Forgot about that one. I'm surprised someone made a clone of that of all things.
2) I have played it plenty, whether via emulator or NSO NES Online. Pocket Dungeon exhibits a couple similarities, but aside from those it's pretty different.
