2022 is just about over – aside from a couple of more weeks. But with the year drawing to a close, we’re interested in hearing about what your favorite game that released over the past twelve months.

Third-parties filled in with titles such as Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Digimon Survive, Shovel Knight Dig, Tinykin, Tunic, AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative, Sonic Frontiers, and Dragon Quest Treasures. We’d also be remiss if we didn’t mention ports such as Persona 5, NieR: Automata, Portal, Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.
So what was your favorite game that came out in 2022? Let us know in the comments below.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe best character and kart builds
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicolas in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe recently received its latest wave of DLC from the Booster Course Pass, so now’s a great time to think about the best character and kart builds for those looking to get into the nitty gritty of things.
If you’ve played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online, you’ve likely come across a lot of players using Waluigi with the Wild Wiggler, Rollers, and Paper Glider. Although part of the reason for this might be the humorous contrast of watching Waluigi ride on a caterpillar, the main factor behind this build’s ubiquity is that it is one of the most optimal character and kart combinations in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This naturally leads into the question of why this build is so good, and if there are other builds in the game that might be able to compete with it. This guide will aim to answer both of those questions, first by explaining some of the hidden mechanics that make certain builds more viable than others, and then by providing examples of some of the more competitive builds Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has to offer.

Dragon Quest Treasures producer Taichi Inuzuka spoke to Japanese magazine Famitsu in this week’s issue about the origins of the game as well as the future of the Dragon Quest Monsters series.
