Pikmin 3 Deluxe sales grow to series’ best in Japan
Alas, here in the UK, it seems Pikmin 3 Deluxe fared less well. It stuck around in the UK top 40 physical games chart for only a couple of weeks after its release last year, and is nowhere to be found now even in the current Switch-specific game top 20. While other Nintendo games have become evergreen sellers, it seems Pikmin 3 has not joined that category here. … [Read more...] about Pikmin 3 Deluxe sales grow to series’ best in Japan

"The very first time me and Ian went to London Rezzed with Raji. We were so nervous. I was sick to my stomach that people would laugh at us. Then this father and son duo comes to play the game.

Devs and doggos: how Nodding Head made Raji while saving stray Indian dogs
I've seen names of newborn babies and pets given a mention in games before of course, but something struck me about seeing 12 dogs given a mention by a small indie studio (one of them turned out not to be a dog, though more on that later). As it turns out, nine of these are owned by the studio's co-founders Shruti Ghosh and Ian Maude. Nine! What a huge and busy family that must be. They're not just any dogs, however, but stray Indian breeds that they have rescued, fostered and then adopted. … [Read more...] about Devs and doggos: how Nodding Head made Raji while saving stray Indian dogs
