Lots of #Welsh references in #DarkSouls!

Gwyn's allusions to Gwyn ap Nudd, his children Gwynevere and Gwyndolin, plus other Welsh origin names in the shape of Lloyd and Llewellyn.

And not forgetting Welsh actor Matthew Morgan's Domhnall of Zena and his "Siwmae" greeting.

#NinoKuni 2 features a few #Welsh references, one of which is Lofty and his lovely south Walian dialect, played by Owain Arthur.

#Cymraeg is present for the location of Cwsg-y-Ddraig (The Sleeping Dragon), and we also have the gloriously Welsh "Proper Tidy" Ring and Pendant.

The 2019 game #Observation stars #Welsh actress Kezia Burrows as main character Emma Fisher, from Cardiff, Wales.

Shoot 'em up @vampire.poncle.games features enemies based on #Welsh folk creature Mari Lwyd.

"Mari Lwyd" can mean "Grey Mare", but its possible Virgin Mary reference is reflected in Maronna's name that doubles as an Italian pun.

Maronna Meea continues the Welsh-Italian theme.
