Josh from the Still Loading Podcast joins me to chat about the best games of 2022 so far. What games have impressed us six months into the year? Is Persona 3 secretly 2022’s GotY? We also chat about the dozens of new game announcements and highlight our favorites. In the feature, I explore Dorama, a used games shop located in a very cool part of Tokyo. The Switch also has two high profile game releases: Mario Strikers Battle League and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. I’ll share my thoughts on these games in this Nintendo Directless episode!
