Fighting game fans, you can probably guess what's leading the pack in this week's installment of Replay: one of the most exciting events in esports history. This past Sunday, the last day of the EVO fighting game tournament brought some of the most riveting, and surprising, play I've ever seen. To a record-setting audience of more than a quarter of a million viewers, players SonicFox and Go1 squared off in Dragon Ball FighterZ; the contest ended with SonicFox taking the title after a long, intense competition that included a controversial side switch. Dragon Ball FighterZ, which made its EVO debut, is an incredibly welcoming game to watch: dynamic, energetic, but still fairly easy to read, especially for anime fans who recognize a kamehameha when they see one. The event took on even more significance, though, because of the winner.

Rumors keep piling up around games coming to one of the world's hottest video game consoles. A new set of leaks makes it seem all-but-certain that a handful of big and small titles will come to Nintendo Switch, likely with an imminent announcement in the next couple of weeks. On Thursday, a list of games that Nintendo will supposedly showcase at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (or E3) trade show appeared online, with multiple publications such as Destructoid vouching for its legitimacy. The list can be seen below, courtesy of video game industry Twitter tipster Nibellion. Nintendo will host a short E3 presentation focusing on upcoming Switch games on June 12.

Florence Yeoh is a 25-year-old Chinese-Australian with a bob haircut, an overbearing mother, and a buried dream to become a professional watercolourist. The eponymous iPhone game, which can be played with one thumb while swaying on the bus, tells the story of Florence's budding relationship with Krish Hemrajani, an Indian-Australian with a needlebed of stubble, snug jeans and a buried dream to become a professional cellist. You tap, swipe and rub through six acts that record the quiet blooming of the relationship, from the initial clumsy flirting, the early experiments with vulnerability, the settling rhythms of domesticity, all the way through to the smoking aftermath and beyond. Love is a theme rarely explored in video games, and for practical reasons. Video games are, in essence, Excel spreadsheets rendered with art and music, and therefore most comfortable when dealing with mathematical systems.
