… and ever and ever. You didn’t think we’d let Zion go without one last chat, did you? Nah, he’s not getting away that easily. So before our beloved video producer departs, we thought it would be nice to have one last chinwag and go over some of our happiest memories with Mr. Grassl. Read…
Having worked from home most of my adult life, I am familiar with the appeal of never having to leave my house. My commute to work is about ten steps long and I can do it in slippers if I like. I don’t have to take out a second mortgage if I want a coffee…

Galaxy 2 has already topped the eShop charts. Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 released for the Switch this week, and we’ve now got some eShop chart data, revealing which entry is the most popular so far.

“We will continue to address other reported issues”. Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots didn’t have the best start on the Switch due to certain performance issues and bugs.
