In episode 60 of the Game Under Podcast it's time for Phil Fogg and Tom Towers to talk about the best (and worst) games they played last year. More than simple lists, Tom and Phil put together an extensive set of awards, rewarding everything from the best rap song in a game, to the, well, best game of the year.
The biggest big show of the year!
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
The online multiplayer beta for The Binding of Isaac is offline until further notice after someone data-mined the latest build.
