There’s a series of famous paintings from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s featuring dogs playing poker in various settings; there’s a good chance you’ve seen at least one of them represented in a TV show or movie over the years. Sunshine Shuffle, the latest game from eclectic indie developer Strange Scaffold, asks the question: what if these cute animals were actually retired criminals, and what if you got to play poker with them on a boat in the middle of the ocean?

Have a Nice Death review

System: Switch
Release Date: March 22, 2023
Developer: Magic Design Studios
Publisher: Gearbox


Typically, when I’m craving some side-scrolling action, roguelike games aren’t my go-to. Simple procedurally generated levels, frustrating or unrewarding progression loops, and by-the-numbers combat have plagued my experiences in the genre, so I’m perhaps a bit more skeptical than others of run-based titles. Fortunately, Have a Nice Death is not only an exception to this trend, but also one of the tightest, most creative, and most satisfying roguelikes I’ve ever played. It’s an example of what a talented team with a strong vision can accomplish, and its fine-tuned concoction of charm and challenge resulted in constant fun.

It’s finally happened: the 3DS and Wii U eShops are no more. While this has been a bummer for many of us, in this week’s episode of Nintendo Everything Refresh, we’re looking back on some of our favorite memories from Nintendo’s last-gen systems, reflecting on the games that impacted us the most, and sharing our thoughts on how these amazing systems will be remembered in the future. We’ll also dive into some of the big games announced or released over the past few weeks, including LEGO 2K Drive, Bayonetta Origins, and much more!
