I'll Always Prefer Joy-Con To The Pro Controller

Recently I wrote about playingSuper Mario Bros. Wonderwith my wife, andgetting a new perspective on the game’s multiplayer. I had originally written off playing Mario together after a disastrous attempt to play online that flattened all of the joy and whimsy from the game in favour of a banal race, but with local being more cooperative than competitive, it feels like a whole new game.

Netflix Games Might Be Nerfing Itself Before Even Getting Off The Ground

Every time TheGamer has written about Netflix Games, it has mourned its unreached potential.
