John Bedford (Modojo): Nvidia's announcement yesterday that it would be releasing a new portable handheld, code-named Project Shield, immediately called to mind some of handheld gaming's less spectacular moments in history. There's the Gizmondo, with its lurid development history and costs that brought down the company. The Panasonic Jungle, designed to woo MMO players just as that bubble began to shrink, was quietly discontinued. Both of these projects, and others, serve as a grim warning for anyone attempting to enter this market.
"The US-based indie games developer Aleth Labs today announced with great joy and thrill that their retro-like comedic puzzle adventure "ELON, is coming to PC via Steam this year (2024)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Sherman Oaks-based (CA, the US) indie games publisher Joystick Ventures and Melbourne-based (Australia) indie games developer Effort Star, are today very happy and excited to announce that their psychedelic turn-based bullet hell roguelike "Enter the Chronosphere", is dropping its time-limited Steam demo on May 13th, 2024 (the demo is a part of Steam’s Endless Replayability event)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Fabledom is a new city builder sim that's set in a storybook world full of princes and princesses, witches, giants and flying pigs.
Not to be rude but it aint changing anything looking like that. Have they seen mobile devices and PSV/3DS that thing is a beast. Looks like the original xbox shrunk for a hand held.
well i love dedicated handheld devices, ive owned all the gameboys and ds's, psp and psvita, sega gamegear and neogeo pocket and pocket colour (got gameboy color, ds, 3ds and vita at launch) and for the first time in my life im not intrested. it looks a mess and a dedicated android gaming platform is a big turn off for me, i hate android gaming its the devil. not interested in pc streeming capabilities as i don't play pc much. velve's piston has a better chance at getting my money ( after ps4 of couse) than this.
