Soundtrack Sunday Welcome to Soundtrack Sunday, where a member of the PC Gamer team takes a look at a soundtrack from one of their favourite games—or a broader look at videogame music as a whole—offering their thoughts or asking for yours! It doesn’t matter if I’m eight hours deep into a raid in Final Fantasy…
The bear and the bird are finally home. You might have expected that Banjo-Kazooie would get a PC version somewhere in the last 20 years given that Windows purveyor Microsoft acquired Rare in 2002, but alas, it’s remained stranded on Xbox consoles and the original Nintendo 64 all this time. As they have done with…
The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley (especially if you don’t own ACNH). “Aloha!” as we say here in Scotland, and welcome to an impromptu Nintendo Life Burns Night celebration, with me, an Irish fella. Now, for those unaware, and to get things off in a high-brow sort of way through…
I love to try a new crafty hobby whenever I can, especially since it’s been proven that my ability to create art with pen and paper is null. I’ve dabbled in hand-embroidery, cross stitch, and now crochet to varying levels of success. But there’s one format I am much too intimidated to try: ceramics and…
Most city-builders are creative toolsets with an optional management sim attached, canvasses for the imagination with a budget you might glance at occasionally. But Microlandia is built different. The city-builder developed by Information Superhighway Games is designed to be “brutally honest”. Roads are expensive, traffic jams can cost your citizens their jobs, and uncontrolled rent…
New galaxies, new friends. Nintendo just aired a new trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie during a special Direct broadcast and it gave fans a “first” proper look at Mario’s long-time pal Yoshi. Apart from Yoshi and a bunch of other surprises in the trailer, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto also gave a quick history lesson…

Included are heart-pounding favorites like Adventure®, Missile Command®, Asteroids®, Centipede® and many more!

Fantasy roguelike Lort is an unabashed spiritual successor to Risk of Rain 2 that launched earlier this week. In fact, developer Big Distraction says it made the game because it got fed up of waiting for Gearbox to make another Risk of Rain. If you’ve played Risk of Rain 2, you’ll know that it can…
Issue #32 – January 2026. Welcome back, lovely people, to the Nintendo Life Mailbox! We’re still in the first weeks of a new year, and we can all now officially confirm that it’s…another year. Hmm. Enough dwelling – there’s more than enough of that to do when you click elsewhere on the web. Let’s talk…
Between games like Dusk, Amid Evil, Prodeus and Ultrakill, indie gaming has long taken over from the big-budget devs in delivering the best single-player shooters (though id Software can still pack a punch when it wants to).
