Issue #27 – August 2025. Welcome, one and all, as we sit down and take a look through the Nintendo Life Mailbox. Switch 2 is a couple of months old now – can you believe that? This is the third edition of our monthly letters page since we finally got our hands on it, and…

If you’ve scrolled past an ad on TikTok for Nexon’s gooner-looter-shooter The First Descendant you might not have noticed it was made by AI.
