Toad in a Link outfit, please...

Though perhaps overwhelmed by the flood of Holiday releases - or unnoticed in Europe due to its peculiar arrival at the dawn of 2015 - we are big fans of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. If you're still on the look-out for a clever, charming game that actually utilises the Wii U's GamePad, it's one of the stronger...

May have had a PA write the post, we'll never know

We're well aware that a good number of the Nintendo Life community are rather talented artists, or perhaps enjoy looking at others' masterpieces, so it's worth noting that one of the best Art Academy: SketchPad contests to date is underway. As you can see in the entry above it's based on The Legend...

Finding new ways to connect gamers

Kind of like Camp Miiverse...

Do you remember Camp Miiverse, Nintendo's online equivalent to Kamp Krusty (or so we liked to pretend)?

Launched on 21st November and running until 1st December, it's now getting into...

Master Beast! Mario Circuit! Smash Tour! More!

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U arrives this week in North America, which makes this the last entry in this feature series before that HD iteration lands — those in PAL regions and Japan have a little longer to wait.

Two for the price of none, as they're free anyway...

Except on 3DS, as its friend system is a bit pants

Miiverse is often evolving, rather like your hardy Pokémon or the swag on Reggie Fils-Aime's desk, and its web-based setup means that Nintendo can make small changes without any effort required from us, the gamers. The social platform has had another minor tweak, with Nintendo of Europe's Marty...
