Great piece. Though I can't quite believe the forces that conspired (or didn't) to give us GX and Fast Fusion, but not a new F-Zero! Still, great to see arcade-style racers propping up the launch of a new console - as god intended.

Real-life rally racing is dying and triple-A rally games are dead, but the sport's gotten a second life thanks to these excellent indie racers For the love of dirt-road racing.

"I think [Retro Rally] is similar to Horror and Roguelikes in that it's a genre that provides lots of replayability without needing tons of production cost to develop, has an audience, and is not competing against AAA, which is the sweet spot for indies!" www.pcgamer.com/games/racing...

For all the complaints Iโ€™ve seen about MK Worldโ€™s free roam, it's easily the most exciting part of the package for me. The racing has some major issues in this game, but there are little nuggets of Nintendo design magic all over its open world. Some super tricky technical challenges too. It's good!

I reached out to interview Hideki Kamiya right when he announced he was leaving Platinum, we finally lined up a Rapid-Fire Interview. Very thankful to him and his team over there for making this happen! youtu.be/tJRVue2kPNA

It's pretty great, isn't it? Level design with the safety off throughout. The scope narrows a little as the game goes on, but it was still surprising me tens of hours later.

Please consider my finally breaking cover on here to talk about Blades of Fire as a power move, not a cry for help. Thank you.

I've put around 80 hours into Blades of Fire, and honestly, it's excellent. A sprawling fantasy adventure that takes you on a real journey, with the best combat system this year. If you don't mind 'em a little weird and prickly, don't miss this one.

It's about time I had one of these, isn't it? Hello everyone.
