Combining 1 vs. 1,000 with roguelite hack ‘n’ slash action. Another surprise announcement during Sony’s latest ‘State of Play’ was the new roguelite hack ‘n’ slash action title Warriors: Abyss by Koei Tecmo and Omega Force. Perhaps even more surprising is the news it’s out this week on 14th February 2025 for Nintendo Switch. Warriors:…
“From the creators of Streets of Rage 4”. PlayStation’s ‘State of Play’ broadcast has just wrapped and it was packed with all sorts of announcements, including a few Sega ones. Apart from a look at Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, we’ve also got an update on the new Shinobi project. It’s now been officially confirmed Shinobi: Art…
Every Mario sports game, ranked. Nintendo’s mascot has never been shy of a spin-off, and while his karting exploits — not to mention his world-renowned penchant for a party — tend to grab all the attention and the biggest sales, Mario and co. have a long, rich history of starring in Nintendo sports games, too….
Civ, laugh, love. We certainly didn’t expect to see Sid Meier’s Civilization VII launch on the ageing Nintendo Switch, but here we are! The latest entry in the 4X series has finally marched our way, and while we at Nintendo Life are still getting into the strategy for our full review, we do have some…

As spotted by VGC, the patent includes detailed images showcasing the idea, with the two Joy-Con controllers effectively…
Every McCloud has a silver lining. Our fingers are crossed that Switch 2 will usher in a brave new era for Star Fox — come on, it’s been almost 10 years — but, if McCloud & co. are still otherwise engaged, at least we know that one of the series’ imitators will be making an…
Big Brother is watching… You really don’t need us to tell you that a new Jeff Minter game is coming. You know a Jeff Minter game when you see a Jeff Minter game. That said, yes, a new Jeff Minter game is coming. I, Robot is a new psychedelic reimagining of the 1984 arcade classic…
Talk about ‘What If…’. We’ve heard about a few companies with dreams of purchasing Nintendo over the years (*cough* Microsoft *cough*), and it turns out that there was another big ol’ American conglomerate looking to snap it up back in the day, too (thanks, Gamespot). That is according to the latest episode of the Grit…
Slippery slope. Gosh, you can really feel Nintendo’s distinct lack of output at the moment, huh? With the Switch 2 on the horizon and nothing of particular significance now until Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on 20th March, the UK Charts is mostly comprised of evergreen titles. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is hanging in…
“Go ahead and bring that extra CRT”. Trains are great. We love a good train ride. It’s even better these days given the advancements in technology, space, and comfort (though granted, there’s still also a load of work to be done; especially in the UK), making particularly lengthy journeys a joy if you happen to…
