Form an orderly Kiryu. My gaming life can now be cleanly split into two sections: the period before I had heard the phrase “Daddy Rank”, and the period after it. It’s one of the key features of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties that Sega was kind enough to show me at a fancy gyoza-joint-turned-preview…

You and amiiboth. If there was one name I wasn’t expecting to see crop up in the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal Direct, it was Kirby Air Riders amiibo. Smash Ultimate and its DLC fighters had propped up the amiibo release schedule for the best part of five years, and its conclusion lined up so neatly…
