Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves. North America / Europe Image: Nintendo Now this is very much in line with the Mario Golf series that we all know and love. Mario stands centre stage — the same model as we see on the N64 cover — with his club extended over his shoulder after hitting what we can only assume was a belter of a shot (he looks happy enough about it, at least). The logo sits overhead while the course setting blurs into the background.…

Weeks of Balatro have turned my brain back to its most goblin state, so something far away from a roguelike would be ideal. I still have an hour or two of the Unicorn Overlord demo left before I have to cough up for the full version, but that sitting firmly at the top of my list at the moment. Then again, I’m also very keen to hit up Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection after playing them to death back in the day — assuming the multiplayer…
