You'll need to have your console registered as the active console for downloads for your Nintendo Account by visiting Nintendo eShop on the device you wish to download on at least once.

In flappy bird case, most of clones are bad and thus popularity died with flappy bird being pulled from stores.To be able to purchase download games or download demos and free software from Nintendo eShop on the official website, you'll need to have a Nintendo Account which is linked to your Nintendo Switch console. It is that randomly once in a while someone succeed. Piou Piou had same concept and was first. You yourself claimed Flappy Bird was not original. > So the question is, why and how to the originals succeed? Is it just luck? First mover advantage? Or is it something else? Fidget spinners existed long before everyone discovered them this summer. Clones that don't turn well eventually don't sell and if the stores routinely selled them, fidget spinners would die much sooner.

Just like millions tetris clones out there, despite being theoretically same game, they are not fun.Ĥ.) What about them? All the kids want fidget spinner and dont care about brand. Yet others were ugly or reacted slowly to your touches. Others had elaborate long die animation that took you out of mood to continue. Did you played for 20 minutes, did they got you angry while you simultaneously are still hitting 'next'? It is safe to guess that not, which is why they did not replaced it. It is perfectly possible Piou Piou is more fun.Ģ.) I suggest you download some and play.

However, most flappy clones that popup are not fun to play are not fun to play nor addictive.ġ.) I have no idea what differences are. There is too much luck involved, there was social network effect in play and playstore is not meritocracy. It does not matter who was first nor who of the two games is better. People are emotionally attached to that plumber. Flappy using familiar popular Nintendo look might have been factor in why people liked it. It was done too fast for that and has clearly different graphics. Flappy Bird could not possibly be exact clone down to details about speed, difficulty, how easy it is to start new round, level generation etc. I never played Piou Piou vs Cactus and have no idea about exact differences.
