Close your eyes and imagine a game trailer and tell me how it begins. Something happens at the very beginning before anything else - before you see anything of the game. There's a logo and a voice, and it's deep and posh and English. The words it says are iconic. "PEGI 18," you hear. Or maybe "PEGI 16" or "PEGI 12". It's such a well known phrase that when a man called Richard Wells popped up on TikTok to claim he was the one who said them - and then proved it by saying them - more than 20 million people watched. They left comments saying it gave them goosebumps and that those words represented their childhood, which is a bit worrying given the "18" part. But the overwhelming response proved without a shadow of a doubt that for millions of people, PEGI age ratings are ingrained in our collective gaming mind.

This is Nintendo doing TikTok, Nintendo in the editing suite. And it's fascinating.

One of my favourite things in games is when the world wraps around. It's a simple kind of magic, and it's been there since the bright, fizzing days of the arcades, and yet I never even come close to getting tired of it. You race all the way to the right of the screen, and then - wow! - you're suddenly back at the very left. You run all the way to the top, and with one final push you find yourself back at the bottom.
