I wasn't excited when I first saw the Apple Arcade ad , and I didn't think about subscribing to it. But I changed my mind when I watched more Oceanhorn 2 videos that were part of the Apple Arcade library when it kicked off. What attracted me to the game is the likeness of Zelda Breath of The Wild, which is one of the most important games of the current generation.

The similarity between the two games prompted me to activate my Apple Arcade demo subscription and download Oceanhorn 2 on my iPhone to make sure that what I saw was not a marketing trick. After spending time on her she found that she was already inspired by a lot of the Zelda series, such as the shape and movements of the hero, and fighting monsters and bosses is similar to the old Zelda games.Although they do not offer you the complexity and the vast world like Breath of The Wild, they deserve to be praised for what they offer.

I think my experience would have been better on the iPad, but I couldn't do that because the iPad OS wasn't released at the time of writing this article and this update is required to get Apple Arcade on the iPad.

This simple experience made me think about why Apple entered this field, and whether the company intends to compete seriously in the world of games or not?

SWITCH SUCCESS

I remember that I criticized the Nintendo Switch when it was released in 2017, and I liked it to iPad with control hands expected to fail, but two years after its release, and a year after owning it personally, it became clear to me that Nintendo was able to survive again using a mid-spec device, and the reason for this is clear It is very games .

I don't think anyone on the planet has heard of Mario, and Nintendo knows how to take advantage of her beloved character. If you take a look at the best-selling SWITCH games, you will notice that six out of the top 10 best-selling SWITCH games are named Mario, and the remaining four are also developed by Nintendo. Combined sales of these games have 98 million copies, and you can only imagine the amount of profits made by these games.

I do not know whether Apple plans to actually focus on games and make it one of the basic things or will it be just a temporary subscription? The service is still at first and I need more time to judge its course.
