Video The Nintendo Life Reaction to Nintendo's E3 Digital Event
With smiles on our faces...
In the chaos of E3 day one we decided to abort our semi-tradition of a live stream video reaction to Nintendo's Digital Event, which was probably for the best considering the general online reaction. Having had a day to digest the results we've come into this video with the best possible intentions. We talk over many of...
"Now, I have nothing. I'm an empty shell"
You're never going to please everyone, and Nintendo's Digital Event at E3 this year may have left more people disappointed than the Big N would like, but you can be sure that you weren't as upset over the presentation as this young man. You can find the original post from NeoGAF here, but we think you'll...
Video LEGO Dimensions Opens a New Valve in E3 Trailer
Crossover craziness
LEGO Dimensions is likely to be one of the year's biggest releases, bringing the hugely profitable toy franchise into the toys-to-life market. Thankfully the Wii U will have a version, too, so Nintendo fans won't miss out on the new franchise and crippling debts it'll entail. We've already seen a little of LEGO Dimensions in the...
Video Ubisoft Unleashes A Flood Of Just Dance 2016 Clips
Warning: Footage of old people abandoning their dignity contained within

Video Try Not To Jump At This New Trailer For Capcom's Luigi's Mansion Arcade Game
Sure to suck up some coins
Earlier this year we reported on the news that Capcom and Sega were working on an arcade semi-sequel to Luigi's Mansion, which features first-person, ghost-busting gameplay.

News New Yoshi's Woolly World Video Shows Off Fluffy Cuteness and Confirms Splatoon amiibo Support
Ink-redible news (we have no shame)
With Yoshi's Woolly World just two weeks from release in Europe and all set for a Fall arrival in North America, we're seeing more videos and hype building for the soft-natured platformer.

The need for speed
Minecraft clones are hitting the Wii U eShop thick and fast these days, and just in case you've not already had your fill, here's a fresh look at the forthcoming UCraft.

Plus quirky Splatoon and Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus vids
Though we're looking at a 2016 release in the West, Fire Emblem If is all set to arrive in Japan on 25th June, shaking up the standard formula with two separate releases - and a third storyline available as DLC. It'll likely have all of the strategy gameplay we can handle. With the...
News Tomonobu Itagaki's Devil's Third Will Lay Waste To Your Wii U On August 28th
New trailer and screens explode into view
It's been a while since we heard any solid information on Devil's Third, but with E3 fast approaching it seems like Valhalla Game Studios is making up for lost time.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's crowdfunding drive has just three days to go and has raised over $3,700,000 at the time of writing. To drum up even more interest and perhaps encourage a final surge of backers, creator Koji Igarashi has published a video showing some off-screen footage from a very early version of...
Video This Fan-Made Zelda Sketch Shows What Happens When Link Runs Out Of Loose Change
High-res rupees
Fan creations are always something that spark a lot of interest, as they allow fans to see what could've been without them having to wait for it to actually happen from the official source - if ever. Take Project M for example - a modified version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl created by dedicated members of the Smash community - which...
Video Latest Teens React Episode Proves Age Has Done Little To Dull Contra's Insane Difficulty Level
Co-op for experts
We're keen followers of the excellent React YouTube channel, especially the retro videos which show gamers young and old struggling to come to terms with some of the most famous titles in the business. This time up, it's Konami's hard-as-nails run-and-gun shooter Contra (or Probotector if you're in Europe). Contra is considered to...
Video Did You Know Gaming? Takes to the Skies With Star Fox
A nice warm-up for E3
There are some titles that we know - courtesy of release-windows, common sense or Nintendo confirmation - will be shown at E3; one of these is Star Fox for Wii U.

Video RIVE's Latest Explosive Trailer Invents An Entirely New Word For Destruction
"SHMUPSTRAVAGANZA" indeed
Two Tribes has just launched the latest trailer - amusingly dubbed "SHMUPSTRAVAGANZA" - for its shooter RIVE, and it's so packed with pyrotechnics you might want to don a pair of shades before clicking the "play" button.

News LEGO Dimensions Vehicles Can be 'Rebuilt' With Three Variations
Actual toys coming to life?
LEGO Dimensions is certainly not what the creators of Skylanders and Disney Infinity want to see, and rather like Nintendo with amiibo it's been tempting to wonder why it took so long for the hugely popular brick-building franchise to step into the toys-to-life market. With some serious brand power in terms of...
Video A Guide to Splatoon's New Weapon & Map
Zapper-de-doo-dah

Video Ever Wondered What Happens When A Splatoon Turf War Ends In A Tie?
Judd doesn't play fair
Splatoon launched last week and has already become something of a smash-hit with Nintendo fans.

Video GameChap Shows Us Five Ways to Get Banned From Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
The watchful eye of the Nintendo spy...
It's a well known fact that Nintendo is very strict with its policies, and this includes the behaviour of players online. It's a reason (amongst others) as to why voice chat is disabled on titles such as Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon, as the possibility of cyber-bullying is significantly reduced. Although it's...

Video Retro Music is Hard-Wired Into Your Brain Because of Science, Not Just Because It's Awesome
Jumping to the beat
When playing retro games it's common to admire the music, with a sense among some that chiptunes of the 8- and 16-bit era are a cut above modern soundtracks. There are still spectacular soundtracks in modern gaming, particularly those performed by live bands and orchestras, yet for some retro music can't be topped. There are...
Video Nintendo UK Takes Over Skate Park To Celebrate Splatoon Launch
Get your skates on
To mark the launch of Splatoon, Nintendo UK has teamed up with Adrenaline Alley skatepark in Corby to offer a pretty unique promotional event.

Video Obsession, Violence And Shameless Scalping - amiibo: The Movie Has It All
"How far will you go to complete your collection?"
The amiibo stock situation has been in the headlines for the majority of 2015, with Nintendo seemingly incapable of meeting demand for its highly-desirable plastic, NFC-enabled figurines. This has left many collectors feeling particularly disgruntled, as rare amiibo are impossible to find in stores...
Video The Game Theorists Plot Out Mario's Timeline and Family Bloodline
Yikes
We've shared some videos from popular YouTubers The Game Theorists in the past, yet the latest theory is easily the most ambitious yet; pretty entertaining, too. Using some logic the channel's team produces a timeline for every main-series Mario title, and then goes even further by plotting out bloodlines for Mario, Luigi and even Donkey...
Video These Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus Trailers Will Have You Bopping In Your Seat

Video What Do You Get When You Combine Mario Kart and Mad Max?
Mario Kart: Fury Road
It's the movie that everyone is talking about right now, Mad Max: Fury Road, starring Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult.

Video Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric Blame Could Largely be With SEGA, Not Big Red Button
Seg-ah
Sonic Boom didn't do well on any metric; its sales failed to match those of fellow Nintendo exclusive Sonic Lost World, and it was panned by many critics and Sonic fans alike. Like any project it has its defenders, but many are agreed that it was a major disappointment, with Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric on Wii U being the biggest culprit. It...

Video This Player Has A Great Chance If They Enter the Nintendo World Championships 2015
Just what Dr. Mario ordered
While the qualification rounds for Nintendo World Championships 2015 aren't quite the exciting event we hoped, it's good news for those that have mastered the relevant mode in NES Remix 2 or Ultimate NES Remix, the latter of which will be the version utilised in qualification.

Video The Game Theorists Tackle That Vital Star Fox Question - What's With the Metal Legs?
Busts some old myths
Assuming that Nintendo President Satoru Iwata doesn't appear in this year's E3 Digital Event and ask us to "please understand", we should have a new Star Fox game for Wii U this year. We may know very little about it, but we won't deny that it's pretty near the top of our hype list for the upcoming LA event. There'll be plenty...
Video Nintendo Minute Shows Off Battle Dojo in Splatoon
Also has 'that' rock song
Splatoon is now just two weeks away, bringing its own blend of colourful anarchy to the Wii U. We've seen plenty of coverage of it, though the mode that gets the least love is Battle Dojo, the local multiplayer option. Nintendo Minute is keen to resolve that shortcoming, dedicating its latest video to popping balloons and...
Video Nintendo Releases a Showcase for Wii U Exclusive Affordable Space Adventures
Teaming up in space
Affordable Space Adventures is a unique recent release on multiple fronts - it's an Indie game that's also a Wii U exclusive, while it takes advantage of the Wii U GamePad's capabilities for dual-screen play. We were rather impressed and gave it a strong recommendation in our Affordable Space Adventures review. Although it's...

Video Let's Remind Ourselves How Totally Radical The 1990 Nintendo World Championships Really Were

Video This Introduction Trailer May Just Get You Hyped for Swords & Soldiers II

The Wii Shop may have had its flaws, but it was also home to some truly excellent download games.
