Back just to make a quick life update: I’ve moved to Glasgow! But I’ve also virtually relocated for a while now to the Better Space, so that’s it from me here - see ya!.

I mean, during my earlier trips to Japan, I’d see Sega everywhere at all the game centres. I wonder what happened to those… 🤔.
Sega is set to open an official store in the same building as Nintendo Tokyo, it’s told VGC. “We need to do a lot more of that, because Sega is a consumer brand that is surprisingly not in front of consumers enough. Sonic is, but Sega isn’t.”.

For @techradar I reviewed Super Mario Party Jamboree, which was a really fun time, mostly because I was fortunate to coax family members into several sessions. So maybe knock off a star if you’re a solo-only kinda player

Lots of fun for everyone

Had to nip to the nearest Smiths to pick up the final issue of @PLAYgamingmag. A sad day but also proud that I could get one last feature in there, speaking to devs behind PS1-inspired low-poly horror games. Buy it before it’s gone! 🫡

Nice surprise in the post. I had written an essay for @lostincult A Handheld History 1988-1995, alongside some other illustrious names, so it’s great to have a copy too!

Good luck with that.
