Video Nintendo Shows It's A Piece of Cake To Transfer Your Data To A New Switch
Shiny new Switch time!
It is curious timing for Nintendo to release a video demonstrating how you can transfer user accounts and save data from one Nintendo Switch to another, but perhaps the tempting nature of the Super Mario Odyssey Switch Bundle with it's luscious red Joy-Con expedited the need for such a tutorial. After all, the video above...
Video 4K Trailer For L.A. Noire Gives An Idea Of What It Won't Look Like On Switch
Fine if you're a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X owner, mind
L.A. Noire arrives on Switch on November 14th, and to build excitement Rockstar has released a new trailer in 4K Ultra HD resolution. It gives you a good idea of what the game's all about - sleuthing, crime solving, flashing police badges, that sort of thing - but we can't help but feel that...
Video Here's a Look at Some Intriguing Failed Nintendo Game Pitches
Including Art Academy, Super Mario Bros. 3 on PC and more
Sometimes the history around games that never made it out of the door can be fascinating, as we look back at what might have been if different decisions had been made. Rejected or failed projects often come back in different forms, but occasionally they're lost forever. Unseen64 has teamed...
Anniversary It's One Year Since Nintendo Showed Us The Switch
NX level stuff
Incredibly, it's now one year since Nintendo lifted the lid on the Switch - and Nintendo Karen. Leaked many months ahead of the official reveal, the hybrid nature of the Switch - then known as "NX" - left some unconvinced. Even the announcement video itself - which focused on the system's ability to t
Soapbox The Switch Has a Big Problem, and It's Too Many Great Games
A nice problem to have
As far as problems go, having too many great games isn't a bad one to have, but recent weeks on the Switch have made it a reality for the system's fans. Nintendo's own efforts aside, we're seeing more and more third party support with each month, and that's not even getting into the indie scene. The ever-growing list of games...
News Mario Party: The Top 100 Trailer Showcases Modes and amiibo Functionality
Be a big amiibo cheater, if you want
During the most recent Nintendo Direct there was the surprise announcement of Mario Party: The Top 100 for the 3DS; the portable entry will combine a whole lot of classic minigames from throughout the IP's history, also giving the system a useful Holiday release to tempt families. The reveal didn't get into too...
NSFW Wolfenstein II's Launch Trailer Shows The Many Ways To Skin A Nazi
"Tonight, they burn"
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus doesn't launch on Switch until 2018, but that doesn't mean we can't get all excited by the game's launch trailer, which has been published today to build hype ahead of release on other systems on October 27th. The trailer - which contains plenty of bad language, gore and violence, as you might...

Random The Voice Of Mario Once Rapped As Dracula For A Corporate Video
There's a headline we didn't think we'd ever write
Charles Martinet is famous to Nintendo fans the world over as the voice of Mario, and has filled this role brilliantly since the '90s. However, it would be doing Martinet a great injustice to assume this is the only thing he has done in his illustrious career; he's acted on stage, in film and...
Site News Take a Tour Around Our New YouTube Studio
Foaming at the mouth
It's quite strange for me to be sat here writing something like this up, celebrating the unveiling of our new studio to you lovely people, when just three years ago I was just a part-time contributor to this fair site occasionally throwing up the odd news article for the supreme overlords. Now to be tasked with producing the...
Feature Nintendo Life eShop Selects - September 2017
Blimey, we really had a lot to choose from
Every month we're amazed with how the Switch eShop leaps from strength to strength, and the month of September was absolutely no exception. With such an enormous roster of games released, this month was by far the hardest month we had to deal with for the awards, but we managed it. It's a nice problem to...
Soapbox Stardew Valley is a Perfect Fit for the Nintendo Switch
Take the farm wherever you go
Stardew Valley is arguably one of the most hotly anticipated indie titles to have made its way to Switch. The game was insanely popular on other platforms for doing pretty much everything just so, and we don't think anyone can object to such a well-received game making its way to Nintendo's hybrid. Being able to...
Random Move Over N64 Kid, We've Got Nintendo Switch Kid Now
Unwrapping through the ages
The legendary video of Brandon Kuzma tearing open his N64 on Christmas Day 1998 has gone down as one of the most famous Nintendo-related YouTube videos of all time, to the point where Brandon himself - now all grown up and less excitable around wrapped items - continues to milk it. And why not?
Video Here's How FIFA 18 On Switch Compares To The PlayStation 4 Version
The little details
FIFA 18 is finally with us, and if you've already consulted our exhaustive review then you'll know that, despite missing some key features, it's the best football (soccer if you're in North America) game we've seen on a Nintendo system in years. While it was always clear that the Switch version wouldn't be a match for its...
Video Here's What FIFA 18 Looks Like On Nintendo Switch
Jumpers for goalposts
FIFA 18 launches today, but EA has been curiously reluctant to show off very much of the Switch version; aside from off-screen footage recorded at events like this year's Gamescom, we've been unable to pick apart the Nintendo version's visuals to see just how favourably they compares to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions...
Video Here's How The Switch And New 3DS Versions Of Fire Emblem Warriors Compare To Each Other
The choice is yours

Random Switch Cosplayer Goes The Extra Mile at the Tokyo Game Show
Meet "Switch head guy"
Our man on the ground at the Tokyo Game Show brought us a lovely gallery of cosplay the other day, but nothing compares to the cosplayer we affectionately call "Switch head guy" at Nintendo Life Towers, who was also strutting their stuff during TGS this year.

Video Exploring The 8-Bit Mega Man Games Of The SNES Era
AKA: The ones everyone forgot to play
The Mega Man series may have branched out onto more powerful hardware in recent times but most hardcore fans consider the 8-bit entries to be the zenith of the franchise.

Video Learn About the "Guts Pose!" and Why It's In So Many Games
Gutsy moves
If you’ve ever played games in the Street Fighter or Final Fantasy series, you know that each time you win a fight the characters make a little celebratory dance. It's actually not just those two games, but many games old and new have this little quirk. You could argue that games use this animation to communicate emotion with the...
Video Check Out All Of Pokkén Tournament DX's Synergy Burst Moves
Playing with power
Pokkén Tournament DX launches on Switch this week, and brings with it five characters that weren't previously playable on the Wii U: Croagunk, Empoleon, Darkrai, Scizor and Decidueye.

If you are lucky enough to live in Japan you will get to see TV commercials such as the one above for upcoming 3DS game Crayon Shin-Chan Gekiatsu! Oden wa Rudo Dai Konran!! which launches in Japan on the 30th November this year. The game itself appears to be a cartoony 2D platformer, which looks like fun. But we'd...

More than 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, & Galaxy 2 combined

Soapbox LEGO Worlds on Switch Isn't Exactly a Minecraft Beater
Everything isn't awesome
LEGO Worlds is a brilliant idea on paper; a world where you can build literally anything you want with the customisability of LEGO and all without any limitation on your imagination.
