Tokyo resident Genki joins me to chat about the Square Enix Cafe and Artnia. Part restaurant, part merch shop, Square Enix fans won’t want to miss it. Join us as we examine the allure of magic crystal rooms and determine whether or not Cait Sith tastes good. We also dig deep into both Nintendo Directs to examine the platform’s exciting upcoming games like Harvestella, Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher, and Persona 5 Royal. I also share my thoughts on two puzzly platformers: Kirby Tilt N Tumble and ElecHead!
