    Hey, I get to put on my employee hat, and write something that relates to Japan today. On October 9, at Shibuya Hikarie, is Ubisoft Japan’s annual “Ubiday 2017” fan event. Lots of details here. Why no sign of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle? The game’s Japan release is set for early next year.

    I was so incredibly excited to play this, based on all the media I had been seeing, and now that I’ve played it, I can’t help but feel like I’m not enjoying it as much as I should. I’ve admittedly only played a few hours (it’s apparently close to 12 hours long, which is pretty…
