Totally agree, the two mainline games and Party Animals and the charming animated series were great.
@xboxp3.bsky.social briefly touched on changing the eating mechanics in Podcast Unlocked 201 years ago. A new game with this, plus some new features could do great with their multiplatform strategy.

New Viva or a remake, so some mechanics can be reworked. As well as the Switch consoles, I think it could do really well on mobile.

Got the Mario Kart World bundle. I bought Fast Fusion, but haven't started it yet. Most of the other games seem like they'd best played elsewhere, where they're most likely going to be cheaper too.

Hate to say it, but it feels like they're trying to appease Nintendo.

Love the giant Wiimote and life size Nintendog 😋

Been trying to persuade my wife to play the ME games for years. Told her if she puts the time in getting to know the characters, seeing them again in the sequels is like seeing old friends again. She's currently playing through ME2, and seeing her face when meeting old allies brings a smile to mine.

Would you actually eat them if they were dispensed like that, Jez?

@eringloriaryan.bsky.social I've been watching the Hysteria podcasts hosted by Erin Ryan and Alyssa Mastromonaco recently. They're great. Don't think Alyssa is on here though.
