It’s crazy to think about, but Super Mario Odyssey has already been around for a month. At this point, many of you have likely completed the game – or at least reached the ending. That probably means you’ve seen a good chunk of what the game has to offer when it comes to kingdoms.
Kingdoms are obviously a huge part of Super Mario Odyssey. Each area is very distinct and has its own challenges. Some are big, a couple are small, and others fall right in the middle.
Out of the kingdoms you’ve traveled to thus far, which ones are you favorite? And on the opposite end of the spectrum, are there any that you’re not a fan of in particular? Let us know how you feel below. If you’re reading other comments, be warned that there may be possible spoilers.

Timberman is on the way to Switch, Forever Entertainment has announced. The old-school arcade-style game will be on Switch in early 2018.
Timberman has players chopping wood and avoiding branches. While the concept may seem simple, it’s apparently difficult to master. The game has four variable environments, many Timbermen to unlock, and leaderboards. The game will support local multiplayer on Switch.

Inti Creates and PQube shared more on Gal*Gun 2 this week. We learned that the game is launching in Japan on March 15, with the western release set for Spring 2018.
Gal*Gun 2 won’t just be a digital title. PQube has confirmed that a physical version will be offered, and pre-orders are already live on Amazon UK. The game can be reserved here. PQube has also handled the release of its games in North America, so we should have stateside pre-order links soon as well.
In other news, PQube has updated its Gal*Gun 2 website for official details about the game’s features, story, and characters. We have all of the information below.
Audio shouldn’t be an issue when playing through Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Those with early access to the game have confirmed that Monolith Soft has included a plethora of volume options. Players can modify the volume for cut-scene voices, game background music, game sound effects, game voices, battle narration, environment volume, and system volume.
It’s worth pointing out these options since the audio in Xenoblade Chronicles X was a common complaint. The Wii U RPG didn’t offer much in the way of tuning volume to your liking. This was an issue throughout the game. As one example, music during cut-scenes sometimes made it difficult to hear what characters were saying.
