IGN has more footage available from the just-released Pocket Card Jockey. See some additional gameplay in the video below.


Pocket Card Jockey is made by Game Freak, the developer of the Pokemon RPGs. So it makes sense that the game has references to the well-known series, right? In addition to that, there are nods to Game Freak’s other titles as well as Nintendo, pop culture, and gaming in general. GameXplain looks at it all in the following video:

You’re playing solitaire, managing RPG stats, strategically maneuvering an adorable little stumpy-leg horse. As disparate as these elements seem, they manage to meld into a single cohesive experience with every little initially convoluted wrinkle feeding into another system, looping around and creating a uniquely addictive experience. I haven’t ever wanted to play a racehorse management sim governed by the rules of solitaire, but I’m sure glad I did. I guess what’s most surprising is that some madman somehow crafted these distinct gameplay elements into one of the more engaging 3DS games.

Style Savvy is coming to the Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. On the 3DS side of things – specifically New 3DS – we’ll be getting Super Punch-Out!! via the eShop.

Nintendo’s website provides the following overview:

Featuring the tight game play and humor the series is known for, this sequel to the NES classic sees Little Mac return to the ring with the World Video Boxing Association belt once again at stake. Slug your way through the grueling, sweat-pounding matches of the Minor, Major, and World Circuits as you face off against some of Little Mac’s greatest rivals like Bear Hugger, Bald Bull, and Super Macho Man. With a cast of new challengers waiting, do you have what it takes to identify their unique patterns and exploit their weaknesses? Go to your corner and come out fighting, but remember what Doc Louis would say, “It’s not about brawling—it’s about finesse!”

Pricing for Super Punch-Out!! is set at $7.99.
