Most of those games have been very hit or miss, but it looks like one of the Nintendo 3DS\u2019 most beloved gems is getting a second chance on mobile. That\u2019s right, Pocket Card Jockey is set to arrive on the Apple Arcade subscription service for iOS devices on Jan. 20 as Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! And to add to the good news, it seems that this is a remake of sorts too.\u00a0 This cult title is one of Game Freak\u2019s biggest hits outside of the Pok\u00e9mon franchise, combining horse racing and solitaire together in a unique way that blends perfectly with the gameplay. It is simple, easy to follow, and much more exciting in action than it sounds as a concept.\u00a0 Initially released for the 3DS eShop in July 2013, Pocket Card Jockey didn\u2019t make its Western debut until nearly three years later in May 2016. From there, it became one of those games that anyone deep diving the platform\u2019s digital store and trying smaller games would recommend online and to friends.\u00a0 Game Freak did port the original Pocket Card Jockey to iOS and Android in the past, releasing it exclusively in Japan in November 2014\u2014though it was shut down just a year later in December 2015 before the 3DS version was even available in the West.\u00a0 Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! will grace phone and tablet screens with the same classic gameplay from the original. But Game Freak has confirmed that the actual racing segments for the game have been remastered with new 3D graphics.\u00a0 This marks the first time since 2019\u2019s middling Little Town Hero that Game Freak will release a non-Pok\u00e9mon title. It also marks the second time one of the company\u2019s old Gear Project games is getting a revised port to new platforms\u2014following Giga Wrecker Alt. in April 2019.\u00a0 It is also good to see the game pop up on another marketplace as the 3DS, and Wii U, eShops will both be shut down in March. Some other games still trapped on those systems could get ported as well to avoid them becoming lost to time. Related: Best Nintendo 3DS-exclusive games to download before the eShop shuts down For fans potentially hoping for Game Freak to continue developing titles that aren\u2019t just tied to the Pok\u00e9mon brand, this is a very good sign.

Most of those games have been very hit or miss, but it looks like one of the Nintendo 3DS\u2019 most beloved gems is getting a second chance on mobile. That\u2019s right, Pocket Card Jockey is set to arrive on the Apple Arcade subscription service for iOS devices on Jan. 20 as Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! And to add to the good news, it seems that this is a remake of sorts too.\u00a0 This cult title is one of Game Freak\u2019s biggest hits outside of the Pok\u00e9mon franchise, combining horse racing and solitaire together in a unique way that blends perfectly with the gameplay. It is simple, easy to follow, and much more exciting in action than it sounds as a concept.\u00a0 Initially released for the 3DS eShop in July 2013, Pocket Card Jockey didn\u2019t make its Western debut until nearly three years later in May 2016. From there, it became one of those games that anyone deep diving the platform\u2019s digital store and trying smaller games would recommend online and to friends.\u00a0 Game Freak did port the original Pocket Card Jockey to iOS and Android in the past, releasing it exclusively in Japan in November 2014\u2014though it was shut down just a year later in December 2015 before the 3DS version was even available in the West.\u00a0 Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! will grace phone and tablet screens with the same classic gameplay from the original. But Game Freak has confirmed that the actual racing segments for the game have been remastered with new 3D graphics.\u00a0 This marks the first time since 2019\u2019s middling Little Town Hero that Game Freak will release a non-Pok\u00e9mon title. It also marks the second time one of the company\u2019s old Gear Project games is getting a revised port to new platforms\u2014following Giga Wrecker Alt. in April 2019.\u00a0 It is also good to see the game pop up on another marketplace as the 3DS, and Wii U, eShops will both be shut down in March. Some other games still trapped on those systems could get ported as well to avoid them becoming lost to time. Related: Best Nintendo 3DS-exclusive games to download before the eShop shuts down For fans potentially hoping for Game Freak to continue developing titles that aren\u2019t just tied to the Pok\u00e9mon brand, this is a very good sign. And we might just see Pocket Card Jockey: Ride On! galloping onto Android, and potentially even the Nintendo Switch, at some point in the future.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/03111729\/Pocket-Card-Jockey.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767231"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=767231"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767231\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":767266,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767231\/revisions\/767266"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/767244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=767231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=767231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=767231"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=767231"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=767231"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=767231"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=767231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
