I think about Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak, a GBA game that has never seen a release outside of that platform, probably more than I should. That's primarily because my experience of it is solely relegated to occasionally (very occasionally) playing a friend's copy on the way to school, I never actually owned it. There's just something so vibey and hangoutable about it that I've never really seen captured in another game before, except for maybe the upcoming Danchi Days . Which, thankfully, has a release date at long last! Read more

Big Walk's voice chat volume issue has been resolved with its latest patch, but House House are sticking to their guns on its overall design
We've all been there. You're out on a hike with some friends, solving some abstract puzzles for a purpose that's not immediately clear, when you get two feet away from your pals and they're as quiet as a dormouse.
