I love the lack of on screen buttons. On screen controls remind me that most games really want controllers. Touchscreen controls that don't need them are always a plus in my book. noteatino Well-Known Member Jun 27, 2014 555 0 0 #9 noteatino, Dec 9, 2016 That trailer is the coolest thing I have seen today.

Still on the fence... Baron Cappuccino Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Aug 1, 2011 266 14 18 Member-Owner Steampunk Cafe, LLC Plainfield, CT #12 Baron Cappuccino, Dec 9, 2016 It's like Summer Sports Simulator in that every game has a different mechanic, but different in that this game isn't doing everything it can to remind you it doesn't take itself seriously. I immediately did well on speed skating, but the ski slalom was nigh impossible for only a few tries. Maven Member Dec 2, 2008 22 2 3 #13 Maven, Dec 9, 2016 Last edited: Dec 9, 2016 Wow! I've never seen a multi system backup/rom dump device used in a promo video before. (What he slides the floppy into before game footage) Looks like a Super Multi Drive... Lol.. Classic!!

Guise Well-Known Member Jul 10, 2009 2,027 14 38 #16 Guise, Dec 12, 2016 Agreed. The gameplay and difficulty of controls lean more towards the old-school computer games it pays homage to than Justin Smith's RSSS, but there are definitely similarities. I've only played a bit and am so far only competent at slalom and biathlon but plan to play more. I like this game.

Duke12 Well-Known Member Oct 25, 2013 1,021 43 48 #19 Duke12, Dec 14, 2016 Wut? Please elaborate. I really wanna hear this. djstout Well-Known Member Jul 21, 2011 2,685 105 63 Sportscaster & football (soccer) coach Taiwan & Japan #20 djstout, Jan 26, 2017 The trailer is amazing while the game is very disappointing, the screen is far too small (not sure how it looks after the update) and controls are terrible... I loved that game at the time but from what I can remember, the controls were better with a joystick. Hopefully it's better now with the latest update but I doubt it.
