I was surprised when Nintendo announced that Super Mario RPG was getting a remake. I thought because of licensing, it would be lost to the annals of time as one of those weird 90s collaborations, a bit like the Sony Nintendo, that happened but would never happen again.

Therefore, I was very excited to play Super Mario RPG remake and after playing it, I think it is one of my favourite games on the Nintendo Switch.

Let's find out why in this week's episode.

With a name like Caravan SandWitch, I had a lot of questions about what this game was. The caravan seemed clear because there is a van very clearly shown in the game’s key art but a SandWitch? Eh? Turns out the game has nothing to do with the delicious lunch time food you might have thought, but instead is a game about exploration and loss and as we will see in this week’s episode of the Beat Your Backlog podcast.

The rumour mill is turning with Nintendo Switch 2 leaks so I wanted to throw my ideas into the hat with what I think the Nintendo Switch 2 launch line up will be.

Will Metroid Prime 4 be there? Is there going to be a 3D Mario game? Are we getting a The Legend of Zelda remake?

It may be a smaller title but just like its main character Verm, Small Saga packs a punch.

The setting of a rodent medieval kingdom under the streets of modern day London is genius and feels unique. If you have Small Saga on your 'to play' list, make sure you bump it up and play it now.

If you have played the game, I would love to know what you think. If you're listening on Spotify, let me know in the comments below, if you're listing elsewhere, let me know on social media.
