I was going to write a column about how Animal Crossing for the Switch might delayed and then Nintendo reconfirmed that the game was coming out in 2019 last week! So I thought…I should write about them possibly delaying the game anyway. Why? Because we all think the game is safe now. No game is safe from the all powerful delay.

Playstation will their own “Direct”, State of Play, later today. The video will include announcements for the PS4 and PSVR. What do you hope Sony announces? State of Play will air at 4:00pm central/5:00pm Eastern. We do not know what Sony will announce, other than it will be PS4 and PSVR titles. Its possible we could see anything from dates for games we already know about (Dreams, Last of Us 2), new games, indies, and sales. What do you think…

As we work towards the launch of Yoshi’s Crafted World, we continue our preview coverage by looking at something that has often plagued Yoshi titles in the past, whether fairly or unfairly. For the longest time, Yoshi titles have been pegged as ‘cutesy kids games’ by many in the gaming industry, and while that is often not true at all, it is still the label the game gets painted with.
