Cutting open some Cold Ones with the boys. While the world continues to wait in vain for Konami to release another 2D Castlevania, plenty of indie game developers have stepped up to try filling the gap with their own take on the famed formula. Some of these games have almost copied the gameplay beat for…
Grinding onto Nintendo’s hybrid system this December. If you’re looking for another skateboard fix on the Switch, it seems Easy Day Studios will finally be releasing Skater XL on the hybrid device this December.

Happy holidays! As we get closer to the holiday season, Nintendo has launched a new batch of Switch Online icons, and this time they’re festive-themed.

As with every entry in the mainline series to date, it took another couple of years until the third entry…
And it all comes down to which controller you shake. It’s no secret that we at Nintendo Life love Super Mario Galaxy.
