Spring’s warmer temperatures often send lure people outdoor to pursue athletic competition. But for those who prefer indoor spaces, this week’s offerings offer several reasons to keep cool inside. Beyond the abstract teeing off of Infinite Golf for the 3DS, and the release of Australian Rules Football for console, there’s also NBA Playgrounds, a title that looks to rekindle the spirited, simplified dunk fests of NBA Jam.

Robert’s Pick: I’ve been playing Birthdays the Beginning and enjoying myself, with Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Wada’s evolutionary sandbox keeping me occupied for long stretches. But as interesting as it is, it’s certainly not a game with universal appeal. Playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has rekindled by appreciation for the local competitive play and as such, I’m eager for NBA Playgrounds, especially at a twenty-dollar piece point that doesn’t gate content via a paywall.
