Older sister and protagonist

Although 2019 was another fantastic year for Nintendo in terms of sales, all of this positive news has been somewhat soured by ongoing controller issues.

I’ve always had a soft spot for music-driven games. Rhythm games like Guitar Hero, Rez, or Thumper play almost subconsciously for me as someone with a musical background so I first approached Sayonara Wild Hearts with a similar mindset.
