It was actually posted at the end of November, but I guess late’s better than never....

Plus, new screenshots I get whatJim was saying yesterdayabout new iOS titleFinal Fantasy: All The Bravest.

Same Ninjalajust launched on the Switch eShop, and the CEO of GungHo online is already looking ahead. Speaking to Eurogamer, CEO Kazuki Morishita says the game was born out of the idea of kids hitting each other with sticks outside (chanbara– you’ve probablyheard the term before). Yes, sticks: whileNinjalaseems like it could even be aSplatoonspinoff, it’s actually its own thing centered around melee combat and literal ninja maneuvers akin toNarutoorKingdom Hearts....

But, in an exception to this rule, I can tell youexactlywhy I love fighting games and about a perfectly preserved moment frozen in the amber of my mind that I keep coming back to, keep trying to re-live....

Overcooked 2is one of those frantic party games that will cause so much chaos, but also provide a lot of fun. Though it isn’t always viable to always play locally, does the game provide crossplay online? Let’s dig in (literally). IsOvercooked 2cross platform?
