Landfall has been making games for over 10 years now. Recent ventures include the co-op climbing sim Peak and the multiplayer horror game Content Warning, both of which I absolutely loved. But now Landfall is preparing for its next step: publishing games. “We made a publisher to only publish our own games,” Landfall announced on…

Dino stretch. Nintendo has been gradually rolling out its My Mario line to Western audiences since the start of the year, and today, the kid-friendly Hello, Yoshi! app joins the roster.
