I feel like I’ve been on a Nintendo high over the past 1-2 months, playing though Age of Calamity, Age of Imprisonment, and Super Mario Galaxy, almost finishing Luigi’s Mansion 3, and now in the middle of Galaxy 2 and Kirby and the Forgotten Land. All of these have been incredibly fun experiences.

The other day I picked up a pair of Nintendo vouchers to get Kirby and the Forgotten Land and pre-order Metroid Prime 4 (and then bought the Switch 2 upgrades for both). Just played a few hours of Kirby and oh man it’s so fun.

Finished Super Mario Galaxy this morning, and immediately started playing Galaxy 2, and I love it already — the drill is so fun! Dare I dream that the next proper Mario game could be Galaxy 3…

Had always been curious about the game Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, and since I saw it’s on sale, I decided to try the demo (which is quite long) and super enjoyed it, and so bought the game. Great mix of investigation and visual storytelling — basically, right up my alley.

Played through the new free expansion to AC Mirage, Valley of Memory — fun stuff, and great excuse to spend more time in that game.

Picked up a few things on sale on the eShop yesterday, including Platinum’s Wonderful 101 Remastered (I enjoyed it back in the Wii U days) and Sol Cresta (been curious about this for ages), and Penny’s Big Breakaway, a platformer I’ve been wanting to play for a long time (demo impressed me).

Four Swords (and Tri Force Heroes) is so fucking good, and I’m so hoping we get a new one on Switch 2 sooner than later.
Zelda: Four Swords Adventures for GameCube deserves a bigger audience…

This should be good — I’ve always been a huge fan of all of the documentary work done by Double Fine.
🚨 "The Making of Double Fine's Keeper" is now available! 🚨
Many of you have been asking for this one; we're happy to say the cameras continued to roll here at the studio during Keeper's development. Come see how this very special game came to be, from the team themselves! 😊
