Is this a new feature? I dont remember WoG having multiplayer

That's marvellous. World of Goo will be a go to travel game for sure.

The only game of these three that I've played to completion (and for an extended period of time) was Little Inferno, but all of these games have a really intriguing aesthetic and vision. Their soundtracks are also phenomenal.
I think I'll wait for a bundle or sale to buy these all again. Hopefully Nintendo and them can sort this out.

Does World of Goo support analogue inputs? Just occurred to me it may not be so easy to play this multiplayer on a train if gyro and touch and the only inputs.
Probably in for World of Goo. Played it some on Wii and remember it being cool but don't remember if I played terribly much of it. Maybe having it portable will help that.
Bought Little Inferno on the Wii U and for me, it was kinda meh... just not my style of "game." Not really worth a replay once you've seen everything.
Human Resource Machine just seems a little confusing and not for me, maybe less of a "game" kinda like Little Inferno. I could be very wrong lol, just not feeling the appeal.

I would be into that for sure.
Great price.

I love these games and will be proudly double dipping. I'm especially excited about watching my wife experience Little Inferno for the first time. I have a feeling she'll really like it (I sure did)

I only played World of Goo (and loved it).
Are these other two must-plays?

Here's gyro pointing demonstrated by NintenDaan:

Really impressive stuff, can't find wait for this to go live.

Little inferno is hitting europe next thursday (its on the eshop coming soon) nothing showing about the other 2, its 9 quid, was hoping for 7 or 8 but guess thats the brexit voting idiots fault
I wasn't as fond of Little Inferno; the trial-and-error factor seemed a bit too high for me, as I recall.
Human Resource Machine is great, though. The "ah-ha" moment of dropping in the right instruction and watching everything run smoothly to completion was very satisfying.

Finished World of Goo! It's still a top 10 indie game in my opinion, what a brilliant game.

Human resource machine showing for next thursday in europe too

If you all had to pick one game out of the three that was released which would you choose(Since I dont have the money to buy all three of them just want one for now)

Cannot believe World of Goo is still being ported to new devices, it's impressive. Must have some good, gooey legs.

Is it just like the app on the appstore or is it different because I already own the game from itunes
Oh then I think it's the same game. The only other game I played was Little Inferno and I thought it was fun.

Although I'll probably use the joycons, is it possible to play any of these games with a Pro Controller?

Thanks for the reliably stupid shit posts where these games are mentioned! Try not to get yourself too worked up over the fact that people are enjoying some games, and don't lose any sleep over it. Oh, and Little Inferno and Human Resource Machine are both less than 10 years old. By a lot.
Meanwhile, rather than spend my time shitting up a NeoGAF thread, I'll be playing all three, since:
- I haven't played WoG since Wii and it's one of the best puzzle games ever made
- I bought, played, and loved Little Inferno on Wii U, and the Switch version is receiving an exclusive multiplayer mode
- I've never played HRM, but I'm sure it's as great as their other titles
Also the Angry Birds comparison is, like, the fucking most bizarre thing I've ever heard.

As someone who loves the first two, I have some bad news for you...
Seriously. World of Goo isn't even a mobile game any more than GTA is--it started life on Wii and PC and it took years before it got an iOS port.
Grabbed Human Resource Machine last night. I'm up to year like 21 or something, right when you get to the Fibonacci sequence challenge mission. I've done all the challenges up until then for both # of steps and # of lines.
I'm an Electrical Engineer with pretty decent software background so it is a little easy, including the challenges. I like minimizing the number of lines required, sometimes I've had to entirely rethink my solution. It is the minimum number of steps challenges that I don't like, I often find the way to achieve this is actually bad coding practices. Maybe I'm finding the "wrong" solution :/ It'd be nice after completing both missions if they gave you the "par" code to look at. I've found some solutions that have hit well under par though.
Other than that I get a little frustrated by the layout of the code. The jumps make it messy whereas in the real world I'd be doing it cleanly with function calls, returns, etc. I get this is supposed to be more basic, like programming an XOR logic gate, but still frustrating.
Fun diversion for $10 though, but if you have a tablet there's no reason to not grab it for $5 on Android or iOS.

I'm curious how non-programmers feel about Human Resource Machine. I have a hard time gauging how difficult and engaging it is for someone coming in without an understanding of subtle things about loops or whatever. Do people bother with the debugger-lite to work puzzles out or get flustered 3 puzzles in and never return?

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Form my observations in RL and Miiverse, engineers & mathematicians play it too, but that about covers the user base of the game.

I think it's fun. I was blowing through it pretty fast on the PC version. I haven't gone back though as I've been distracted.
My programming experience includes getting drunk with friends and making some god awful stupid games in GameMaker for about 3 hours one day. That's about it.
Hope world of goo is coming to EU this week. (And Binding of Issac...:'( )
Think they're pretty overpriced tbh though. Was expecting a bundle with all 3, and with each one nearly £10, can't say I'm eager to get them all now.
Only world of goo appeals the most for me and that's because it's the longest probably and I generally just really like it.
