If there’s one event that stands out in Mario Sports Superstars’ line up it’s horse racing. Golf and tennis happen regularly enough, and baseball and soccer have both gotten a few games to their credit. The idea of Mario and friends racing on horses never would have occurred to me,…
Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns is just a few weeks away, bringing its host of farming, festivals, and fun to players in America. There’s one element of games in this series that I can’t help but get curious about, and that’s the relationship options. The idea of being able…
