While it's not the end of Yo-Kai Watch, it's the end of an era: Japan's flagship Yoroz Mart (originally called Yo-Kai Watch Yoroz Mart) is closing later this month on February 24. Known as the "Yoroz Mart Fukuoka Main Store," it was the ori...

The Mario & Luigi series for me has always been a nice palette cleanser from the more nitty, gritty, stat-heavy RPGs that found their way onto my DS and 3DS. Where many RPGs bank on a player's appreciation for the minutia of buildi...
