Zzzzzzzzzzz. Call me when there's actually games on Apple Arcade worth playing.
Glorified iOS apps don't cut it in a world of AAA-titles on Steam, Xbox, Switch & Playstation

Here is me playing Mario Kart on Switch online. Arcade was wayyy too boring.
Apple today announced that its mobile gaming subscription service, Apple Arcade, is gaining 30 classic games including "Fruit Ninja," "Monument Valley," "Solitaire," and "Cut the Rope" as the service passes a total of 180 titles.
The new games come in two brand new categories on the platform called "Timeless Classics" and "App Store Greats." Some of the new Timeless Classics include:
- Really Bad Chess
- Sudoku Simple
- Backgammon
- Tiny Crossword
- Solitaire
The new App Store Greats add a number of familiar titles from over the years, including:
- Monument Valley
- Mini Metro
- Threes!
- Fruit Ninja Classic
- Chameleon Run
Apple Arcade is also gaining a number of new "Arcade Originals" today:
- NBA 2K21 Arcade Edition
- Simon's Cat: Story Time Tactile Games
- Star Trek: Legends
- The Oregon Trail
- Cut the Rope Remastered
- SongPop Party
App Store vice president Matt Fischer said that Apple Arcade has become a place for friends and family to enjoy games on a safe and private platform while also touting the praise the service has received since its launch.
Apple Arcade launched in September of 2020 as an ad-free mobile game subscription service with no in-app purchases. Apple Arcade is available across the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, and Mac for $4.99 per month, or as part of the Apple One bundle.

This company is all about money, wouldn’t expect any different.And required to pay $5 a month for the same experience
Classics to me means Space Invaders, Asteroids and Pac Man...IN THE ARCADE!!!!!
Yes, I go back that far. 😂

..................zzzz...... I had a free (3 month?) subscription to with my new iPad from Christmas but I never ever activated. Nothing of interest to me, in my quick perusal of titles...
Yes. As to classics, I would like some of the ones from the era that Lowhangers refers to. Maybe some of the type we used to spend quarters on down at the video arcade.

- Badland + looks very beautiful
I‘ll definitely try those out.

Here’s hoping to give you a call once the new Apple TV is out with the A14 chip.
Considering the A12 chip in the iPad Pro (2018) received kudos when their keynote showed the graphics as powerful as an Xbox One S, the A14 will step it up and really allow them to have AAA titles. Having an iPhone, iPad (this month?) and Apple TV all equipped with an A14+ by the end of the year for seamless cross-save, cross-platform (within the ecosystem) and handoff, while adding support of the new ps5 controllers and Xbox Series S/X controllers on iOS 14.5, is putting them in a great position.
I hope they realize this opportunity and go for it. They’ll need to incentivize developers to port their games over, and not half-ass or ignore this area anymore. The potential is there. Even if it’s not your cup of tea, I consider being able to run Fortnite at 120hz on an iPad Pro, and playing with a PlayStation or Xbox controller quite the feat on such a small device.
Oh my god! Cut the Rope has become such an advertisement and subscription mess. Now I have an idea what Remastered means.
So not at all funny, forgot about that dumb game until u brought it up.
Looks like world didn't end with no fortnite on ios
Legends of Kingdom Rush from Ironhide is coming soon : Their games are great.
I can’t even find some of the older Angry Birds games in the App Store anymore. (Well, not entirely true. Can’t find them through the search bar, but CAN find them in my previous purchases section and download from there. So they’re there...just have to get them a bit differently).
There were two hilarious spoofs of this game on TV. American Dad and Teen Titans Go. Everybody kept dying...

Makes the games safe for kids devices.
Yep, part of the reason I started getting back into console gaming about 5 years ago. Sometime's its nice to not be mentally manipulated into buying stuff constantly or being ripped out of the game to watch an ad when picking up a game to unwind and relax. So many good titles on mobile have been $h---canned due to IAP.
It's still a pretty good value. Movies/TV, Music, Magazines, Games, Workouts, and massive amount of cloud storage you can share with 5 people for $30. Thats FAAAARRRRR from a bad deal if you use even 3 of these services. Netflix alone is $13.
Hmm... None of these games seems to work on the Mac. Was thinking they might have added support for playing on Macs since they are on Apple Arcade, but seems that is not a requirement (anymore)? 🤔
It really shouldn't be. Most people aren't gaming on a mac with Arcade.
However this would have been a great opportunity to introduce an Apple TV gamer bundle with controller and upgraded processor. Its been over 3 years since the last Apple TV update and about 5 years of the dreadful remote.
