Come back every weekend to read a new interview, digging into the important questions, like “How tidy is your desktop?” and “What game will you never uninstall?” Bryce Clark, game director on Poppy Playtime,…
Issue #37 – June 2026. Well, hello there. Have you come to see what’s in the Nintendo Life Mailbox this month? Excellent timing. Having survived the first weeks of June and the deluge of gaming announcements — including the first full-fat Nintendo Direct since September last year — we’re all settling down for the summer…
I needed no further incentive to check out this video that explores why a SimCity game set in the United Kingdom wouldn’t work, but even if the idea of comparing metropolitan systems of government isn’t thrilling to you, you’re going to want to watch it just to see who crops up at the end. It’s…
