With that new Animal Crossing New Horizons update video a few days ago,
not only did it have a different voiceover between the UK and US versions, but yet again, there's pointless wording changes between the two....
I wonder why they do this 😆 They change "console" to "system" between regions too

Also this one stage in the demo is b i z z a r e
I love it. I thought Tetris Effect's scenery was wild but this is absolute chaos

A clip from the Lumines Arise demo I played last night.
I'm still a Lumines noob (I keep playing it like it's Tetris trying to fill the gaps, or Puyo Puyo trying to make long colour connections)
But I somehow made this big square when I activated the slo-mo powerup thing and it was VERY satisfying

In recent years, Tetris Effect has been one of my favourite games ever (not even just a favourite *puzzle* game") so recently I tried the demo of Lumines Arise (from the same devs)
I've never played a Lumines game before, so it took a bit of getting used to, but DAMN it's satisfying and psychedelic

Sonic 06 and Sonic R (and a few others) don't deserve to be on "worst of all time" lists; occasionally you see them mocked, but the games have some genuine qualities and many fans
Whereas something like the botched GBA port of Sonic 1, or Sonic Jam on the GameCom... There's no defending those

I have a random video game accessibility question and I'm genuinely curious to hear people's answers here:
Whenever a game does a "vignette" effect, in the corners of the screen....
...do you feel a bit sick or dizzy from them? Or do you find them completely fine?

With the new Mario Kart World update they made it **so** much easier to unlock those NPC side-characters, by piloting UFOs you find in the open world, and abducting the character if they're nearby --- and it's a godsend
With that, I finally, finally unlocked Swoop:

Almost every day this month, I've been powering through these three games:
• Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch2)
• Final Fantasy 13-2 (PS3)
• Paper Mario (N64)
I hope to complete them all before I start Expedition 33 in October, but with DKB and Paper Mario, it feels like I'm barely halfway... 😅

What are the chances that we'll be in 2028 and the Mario Kart World soundtrack *still* won't be on Nintendo Music
