The first one begins later this week. We’re now at the tail end of the year but that doesn’t mean Tetris 99 is slowing down. Following its Super Mario RPG event in November, Nintendo is now cramming in two final events for 2023. First up is one for WarioWare: Move It! taking place between 30th…
Super Mario Bros. Wonder jumps up a place. This week’s UK physical charts are in, and as Black Friday fades into the background and the Holiday season approaches, EA Sports FC 24 reclaims the top spot. The Nintendo Switch version of the latest soccer title from EA makes up 24% of the sales, while the…
A true gentleman never gives up on a dream. Somehow, it has been 15 years since Professor Layton and the Lost Future (or ‘the Unwound Future’, depending on your region) made its debut in Japan. 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. Since its release in 2007, we have played through this planet-hopping adventure several times with both Wii remote and Joy-Con (thanks to its re-release in Super Mario 3D All-Stars), but every day is…
Choo-choo choose me. We live in a blinking lovely time right now. Gone is the notion that genres like real-time strategy (RTS) and management sims can’t be controlled with a standard controller, and we have the likes of Two Point Campus and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition on Switch to prove it. Joining that field…
Triple Dash. With the release of the sixth and final wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, the latest entry in Nintendo’s top-rated racing franchise is presumably fully content complete. So with that now done, where on earth does the franchise go from here? It’s probably safe to assume that Nintendo has…
Oh my Gohma. November 21st, 2023 marked the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time‘s Japanese launch. To celebrate this historic Hyrulean occasion, we’re running articles throughout the week dedicated to the game, our memories, and its legacy. In this final feature, we’re closing with an opener as Jim explains why the…
Like Rogue? Updated with World of Horror and Astral Ascent. Enjoy! What are the best roguelikes on Nintendo Switch? When it comes to modern video games, there are few more polarising genre terms. That divisive descriptor draws some players like moths to a flame, while others run a mile at the mere whisper of it….
The OG. Welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Before we get cracking with this week’s epic battle, let’s take a look at how Contact went on with its own duel. It was incredibly close; possibly one of the closest brawls we’ve seen to date, but ultimately the design favoured by North America…
“Players have quickly pushed our mechanics to the limits”. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 launched on the Switch earlier this month, and in its next patch, it will be making a lot of changes based on community feedback. In the latest post on the official game website, it’s mentioned how version 1.3 will be the team’s…
