Feature: “It Just Felt Right” – How Story Of Seasons & Piczle Cross Is The Perfect Union

“I am an unapologetic fan of the Story of Seasons series”.

What’s more relaxing than a farming sim? Many of us love to wind down with a few hours of tending crops, looking after cows, and taking in the seasons in a good ol’ Story of Seasons game. And for almost 30 years, this hugely popular series has been sowing the seeds and setting the standard for the genre.

So what if it were to do something entirely different? The farmhands have swapped their hoes for pens and taken up a spot of picross.

Guide: Best Tomb Raider Games, Ranked – Lara Croft On Switch And Nintendo Systems

As ranked by you.

Some people might understandably associate the Tomb Raider series, like WipeOut and Crash Bandicoot, with PlayStation. Lara Croft shot to prominence as the poster girl of gaming in the lad-mag era of the late-’90s and feels forever tied to the cultural gaming cornerstone that is Sony’s debut console.

However, Core Design’s original game launched for Sega Saturn and PC, too, and while Sony negotiated console exclusivity for the sequel, the series has appeared on practically every game platform made since the turn of the millennium, including Nintendo platforms. And with the release of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on Switch, we’re finally able to enjoy Lara’s original adventures in their original form (almost).

Back Page: The Best Cows On The Nintendo Switch

We would never steer you wrong.

In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”.

Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario vs. Donkey Kong For Switch?

The GBA title is back.

Apart from the arrival of the Smash Bros. Sora amiibo this week, Nintendo has also revived Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Switch.

This one is a bit different to the average new release because it’s a remake of the 2004 Game Boy Advance title with a few new worlds, co-op mode and a new casual difficulty setting. We rather enjoyed the Switch version, but we’re now curious to know if our community will be picking it up.
