I don’t come to Game Developers Conference expecting to ever relax, but I somehow found an oasis at Nintendo’s indie game hands-on event. And forgive me if this part sounds weird, but: It was a combination of two ... inventively placed Joy-Con controllers and a strong rumble feature that gave me both the mental and physical peace every player needs, at GDC or otherwise.

I know where your mind wants to go when “rumble” and “physical” are so close together, but let me stop you before it does. At the Nindies showcase, I checked out Lumines — or rather, Lumines Remastered, the upcoming redux of the beloved 2004 game. If you’ve played it on PlayStation Portable, you know the drill: Director Tetsuya Mizuguchi (Rez) combined his sweet music taste with a simple puzzle board of falling blocks.
