This week Daniel expands his experience gaming with his kid and explores 3D character platformer throwback Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Is competent emulation enough to keep the genre alive or should it cross to the other side? Meanwhile Mark weighs the value of Nintendo virtual cartridges and puts our final thoughts on Metaphor Refantazio to the vote. Is this a new chapter for JRPGs or is the fantasy dead?

Games Discussed

• Appetizer: Dragon’s Breath, Spots, Wilmots Warehouse, Mario Kart 8, Nintendo Virtual Cartridges
• Main Course: Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Metaphor: Refanazio
• Desert: Nichijou, The Amazing Digital Circus
