There were some great games released last year, but which ones were the best? I have no idea. Sorry, there are no mathematical formulas or alchemical recipes to definitively tell us what the best game of the year was (even though I think our site’s democratically elected GOTY is a pretty strong contender)....

More interview bits from Katsura Hashino Thelengthy interviewwith Katsura Hashino wasn’tjust aboutPersona 5. The whole gamut of Atlus announcements were touched on, including the wonderfully namedPersona 4: Dancing All Night. “[W]e’d actually been thinking about making a ryhthm game withPersonamusic for a while,” Hashino explained, but they didn’t have the expertise to do it. That’s where the partnership with Dingo came in. “It’s actually similar to howPersona 4 Arenawas created.

So… much… folding… Nintendo Labohas a lot of stuff crammed into its box. I initially thought I’d sit down with my son today and whip up a few cardboard creations, play the games, and then write this review. After making our first larger Toy-Con, as Nintendo has named these projects, I was quickly disabused of that notion.
