Paw Patrol is on a roll! Now that I have played both games I can't get the theme song out of my head.

Yo-Kai Watch Translation Project: Chapter One
Here we are, checking out the first chapter of Yo-Kai Watch on Nintendo Switch. While there is a translation patch you can put onto your Switch to make all the Japanese, English, it does require you to hack your Nintendo Switch unit which many folks are not willing to do, me included.

So after a few days with Dustbiters, a fun quick card game from a wide range of talented individuals, I'm pretty sure I've found one of my favourite little go-to games for playing with my wife and kids.
