“I can finally say… I’m the voice”. Nintendo has already swapped out its Mario voice actor in recent years, and last month, alongside the release of Mario Kart World, Princess Peach’s voice actor Samantha Kelly revealed she was no longer voicing her character after 18 years. Now, in an update, it’s been confirmed that the…
Please, don’t touch the artwork. There’s something nostalgic about going back to Monument Valley. Ustwo’s indie hit debuted on mobile in 2014 and helped establish (at least for a mainstream audience) that the mobile space could include the artistry of the wider indie games scene with thoughtful, immaculately presented, perspective-bending puzzlers alongside all the clickers…
Every Virtual Boy game ranked by you. Today marks the Virtual Boy’s 30th birthday, so we thought now was the right time to tidy up this list and republish it to honour what may well be Nintendo’s weirdest console ever. Plus, now, it’s ranked by you lovely lot. Enjoy! Nintendo is an odd company in…

So many Bits to Summit, and not enough time. BitSummit has once again come and gone, and unlike last year where it was a bit difficult to find indie developers committing to a Nintendo Switch release well before the Switch 2 was announced, we found a renewed enthusiasm for Nintendo as we pursued the two…
Clean as a whistle! Whether or not you enjoy the idea of clearing out every single bit of the destructive scenery in Donkey Kong Bananza‘s layered levels, there’s absolutely no doubt that it’s a thing that you can definitely do, and so it therefore follows that eager gamers are, well, they’re already doing it aren’t…

No release date has been set at the time of writing, but the new DLC will contain an additional timeline looking at Namco’s history with Atari, along with multiple playable versions of…
Return of the Kong. Last week Donkey Kong returned to the world of 3D platforming over 25 years since his last fully-3D outing in DK64 – and what a return it was! Donkey Kong Bananza scored an ‘Excellent’ 9/10 in Jim’s review, and most of Team NL has spent this weekend having a smashing time…
