After a long hiatus, we're back and catching up on everything we’ve missed in gaming. From the disappointing launch of the Switch 2 and the $10 tutorial scandal, to the surprisingly addicting Dune: Awakening and the divisive Elden Ring: Night Reign, we’ve got a lot to say.
We also dive into the new Mario Kart World, debate if Lego Star Wars is the ultimate game for toddlers, and try to figure out why Nintendo left Zelda and Mario behind at launch. Plus: retro game hauls, anime tangents, and the games stuck in our ever-growing backlogs.
