Much of it is stuff that any seasoned Kojima-liker will be familiar with, such as praising 2001: A Space Odyssey to…
Issue #20 – January 2025. Welcome back as we open up the Nintendo Life Mailbox once again. Here we are in 2025, ready to thrive, and Nintendo has kindly given us all some good news: ‘Switch 2’ is indeed Switch 2, it’s looking sexy… and watch this space.

A few months ago we found out ZeniMax Online Studios had canceled an MMO shooter it was developing under the codename Project Blackbird, one that had been in development since 2018 and executives apparently enjoyed playing.

Move! There’s been quite a lot of talk recently about the lack of voiceover work in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and I can understand why.

Survival-action shooter Atomfall has lured more than two million players into its post-nuclear-disaster Britain, and they’ve apparently drunk 500,000 cups of tea while there. Which is not enough. Those are rookie numbers in the British tea drinking game. We need those numbers up to like three per person just to make average. That’s 6,000,000 cups…
