During yesterday’s Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo spent a surprisingly decent chunk of time describing GameChat, a new system feature that is basically like all of the social features Microsoft introduced to the Xbox 360 20 years ago.

The Sega Ages line on Switch is getting a pair of sequels that one-upped their predecessors in almost every way. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Puyo Puyo 2 are everything a followup needs to be, and now they’re receiving that same, loving M2 treatment. Sonic 2 will see the drop…
