Our quest for world domination took a giant step forward today with the much anticipated launch of Push Square, our new PlayStation-oriented news and reviews site.
When we launched Movemodo back in 2010, many of you asked "why not do a full-on PlayStation site? I would totally dig that," so we've teamed up with long-time PlayStation writer — and Nintendo Life alumnus — Sammy Barker to bring you a bigger, stronger site that we think you're going to love.
As always, we want to stress that this does not take any of our focus off Nintendo Life — we have a lot of exciting stuff in the works for you guys this year, some of which you'll see in the very near future.
You can Follow Push Square on Twitter or Like Push Square on Facebook too.
Don't forget your Nintendo Life account works over at Push Square so go see what we've got waiting for you over there and rustle up some discussion.

Hmm... guess I'll go take a look.
Blasphemy ! =)
[Packs up and moves]
So...wait, wasn't Pushsquare already a thing?
Nice! I am going to be less and less of Playstation gamer especially with the Wii U coming but I will still visit and see what's new.
Holy eff, is this a dream?
Nice! Just Yesterday I was hoping that Nintendolife had a PlayStation counterpart for Vita news.
LONG LIVE SONY
Don't tell Pikachu! He'll get mad (if he even recognises what your saying - mine was useless!)
As long as Nintendo is King, although I'd prefer an Android sister web-site. Not much use for over-saturated Sony reviews market. The sheer focus on Nintendo is what makes the site unique in my opinion since that's less frequent - places where hardcore Nintendo fans have for themselves.
Is there gonna be a site for the 360?
@Anifan there already was a Vita site...
@shonenjump86 we're going to bring Nintendo Life up to speed next, then maybe an xbox site one day!
Hello SonyLife.
Can't enter the site though since everytime i see that logo i think Pushmo. One man can only be let down this often.
Any chances of a PC gaming site?
Congrats on the expansion.
edit1: Does this make Vitagamr redundant? I would have no problem if it did, I'm just curious.
edit2: nvm, I just saw Slapshots post in the PS3 thread where Movemodo and Vitagamr have merged with PushSquare
I'm almost disappointed in myself for not being a Sony fan right now, the new website looks amazing.
@Stromboli
Considering how many Sony and Microsoft fans there are here, I think we can safely say that Nintendo fans haven't had this place to themselves for quite some time.
Anyways, I'm hesitant because I recall there being a site called Pushsquare that was filled with Fanboys far more annoying than what this place sees. I'm not sure If I want to go there if it's the same place...
Excellent, now an xbox one please.......
Woohoo
@Magi Movemodo and VitaGamr are now part of Push Square.
SonyLife became real! Gonna check it out...
Schweet.
Awesome!
Not a Sony fan, but congrats on the expansion, guys. Best of luck.
Scratch my last post. Considering how small the old staff was, it couldn't be the site I'm thinking of. Guess I'll give it a shot after all.
Kewls
@antdickens
Cool
Hurray! But... still no PS3 here.
Great, love to have a reliable site for my Playstation news.
I checked out the site on earlier on my phone.
It's pretty snazzy
I'll be visiting to keep up with news.
Not a playstation gamer, so I'm staying put. :3
I knew it was pushsquare, movemodo and vitagamr combining! (In some way)
Cool! I liked vitagamr so I'll check this out too.
Excellent, now I can ignore IGN altogether!
Would it be possible to put buttons for each site at the top, to make navigation between the sites easier for lazies like me?
@Koto we're looking at doing something like that, yeah, not quite sure how/where it will sit just yet!
meh, I'll stick with Nintendo and maybe Microsoft when I'm bored.
i HATE PLAYSTATION!!!!!!!!!!!
well maybe i dont have 1... but i really do for the most part hate it
YESS!!!!
This is great news! The mods can finally lock that PS3 "fan" thread. No more clutter in the forums.
@3Dangerous3Dash: no one's forcing anyone to visit anything against their will. if you truly hate the playstation, you'll probably want to steer clear of Push Square :3
@Gamesake: i'm pretty sure you're joking, but just to clarify for everyone else, the 'Other Gaming' section of the NL forums will be staying, as well as any of the various 'fan' threads already located there. Please don't take this as an opportunity to start disrupting threads by telling people to 'go to _____ site to talk about _____'. i'd hate to be forced to hand out temp-bans over something so silly. :3
Is anyone else bothered by the design of the square button being blue? I'll have to get over it.
@35 You said it. I don't have much respect for IGN. This new site looks great.
Awesomeness! This is exactly what I was hoping you guys would do and it is finally here! Congrats and much success on the new site. I'll see you all there!
It's about time...
I might watch it, I don't normally play PlayStation games
Eff Nintendo! /me packs up his and heads over to the superior JackTrettonLife
@Hyperstar96 That blasphemy is just about everyone but the haters, which steer clear of this like NLife has a mysterious ward against most of them. Hopefully that doesn't disappear, because theoretically, the multi-site account thing can work vice-versa. Anyways, I have comed to accept Playstation post-PSN disaster & outrageous prices, because they're better than Xbox. Still, I like Halo. That Kinect isn't very good though. Move's okay. They just need to innovate.
Oh, I'm not an IGN fan either. Game Informer all the way!
Awesome. Now I have a place to talk PS3 with out Nintendo fan boys getting upset. I love Nintendo but some people don't seem to understand it's ok to like other stuff to...
@Splat
Why is it, that by default, Sony fans are always considered more rational and mature than Nintendo "fanboys" around here?
@edhe: it's because when they're at a Nintendo-centric site, it's easy to forget the Sony and Microsoft fans from other forums who point and laugh and stir up BS anytime someone so much as breathes 'Nintendo'. i'm sure we'll be seeing plenty from that end of the scale too as soon as PS starts to pick up, lol :3
^Totally. I've tried going to join a Sony-centric site, and the people there were just as bad, if not worse than the Nintendo "Fanboys" around here, save for a few obvious exceptions.
If push square accounts are connected to Nintendo Life then you realize internet trolls are gonna start laying their eggs here
^You do realize that Nintendo Life has been connected to Movemodo and VitaGamr for over a year now, and the number of trolls hasn't increased much at all?
@PlatinumGamerX: I'm not sure to what you're referring, but rest assured that the moderation team has never tolerated trolls (aside from our friendly neighborhood types) and will continue not to do so, whether here at NL proper or anyplace else in the Nlife Network. :3
Oh, excellent! I'm not a Sony fan but I love to see you guys expand - I trust your reviews more than anything and I hope to see them cover everything one day.
Will you be doing retro reviews by any chance? The only non-Nintendo console I own is a PS2 and I literally only have two or three games for it. I'd love to expand my collection (PS2 was an amazing console) but it can be so hard knowing what's worth buying. Since PS2 is backwards-compatible I'd also like to see original PlayStation reviews.
Oh man. I just got a PSP last week.
@Lobster
I know they mentioned doing PSOne and PSP reviews someday. I'm hoping they do some PS2 reviews, too. Maybe you could throw in some requests when the forum goes live and see where they go with it?
So...¿Sony?...¿really?
iam pushing square but none thing is happening D: throws the ps1 control to the wall
@Lobster Yep, we sure will be doing Retro reviews, but don't worry if you don't see any for awhile. We've got Vita launching in a few weeks and we will be busy busy trying to review all of the launch titles. As for you PS2 game recommendations, I can give you a few quick recommendations that are fit for a Nintendo fan: Beyond Good and Evil, Rayman 3, Ratchet and Clank and Kingdom Hearts is a great way to start off.
@ShadowChaos Haha... silly little hedgehog, you forgot to turn the power on first!
Friendly neighborhood trolls. LOL
I just wish NL's staff would tolerate trolling a little... better than what we've seen over the years.
I've been reading that site for a bit now. Could always see this happening.
Good work.
Ah, Movemodo and VitaGamr are now one. Interesting!
@Slapshot Excellent! I know this is a busy time so good luck. I can't wait to see those reviews, though!
Ah, Kingdom Hearts, how did I forget about that one? Hahaha, I am a terrible gamer!
Yep I heard Playstation was for squares.
@Lobster Don't miss out on Kingdom Hearts and it's PS2 sequel, they are incredible games - especially if you're a Disney nutcase like myself!
As I've always said, it's possible to be a fanboy of one system, w/o mindlessly(, or even remotely) bashing another (system), &/or mindlessly agreeing w/ your fav company.
@antdickens: #37 suggestion: far right, under "life"; like a dropdown bar, or something, perhaps?
This is def(inately) good news for any Sony PS owners that frequent here. That's awesome for you guys.
Oh, our NLife accounts work there too? Cool!
looks really, really good, but for some reason I like NLife's layout a bit more. Of course they will improve it over time.
Shoot. At first I thought it was a Square-Enix site I could go to for hentai of Lightning and other Final Fantasy babes! Guess I'll go there anyway and see what everybody wants to see in the upcoming 3DS 2D Mario.
Yes! Nintendo Life is no longer Sony Life!
About time too...
As for Push Square, I guess I could check it out...
A quiet befalls the discussion as everybody stares at NP, their mouths agape and drawing in flies
What? Look at my signature! Here's a quote:
"I'm not narrow-minded. I have other interests too!"
Doesn't Sony make TVs, DVD players, and Walkmen?
Congratulations everyone involved. I'll definitely be visiting both sites. @ant what do u mean by getting NintendoLife up to speed next out of curiosity?
I like Push Square a little better as far as the layout goes.
Nintendo Life is getting a bit of an upgrade as well.
Could it be that this leads to a Nlife website called "Dedicated Gaming" that features Sony, Microsoft, PC, Nintendo (maybe even smartphone) games altogether ?
This would be great if you could set what news you want to get (Create Your Own DG-Frontpage). For example if you were only interested in news about the 3DS, PS3 and smartphone games. Don't think i'll need it in the near future though since my hands are already overfilled with Ninty stuff.
Neat-o. I will try to get in the habit of checking Push² regularly.
Hi guys,
Thanks for all your positive comments. I'm really glad you like the new site!
To address a few questions:
No, we will not do an all-in-one gaming site – platform-specific sites in a larger network is the way to go.
We have no plans to launch PC, Android or iOS gaming sites.
A full-on Xbox site will happen when the new Xbox console is announced.
NL will get upgraded in the near future with some of the cool features you see on PS.
That's all for now. Cheers!
wow, honestly the only thing that surprises me is LordJumpMad didnt post one thing on this entire comment bar about this site O_o
No! Don't join the dark side!!
Cool site! I likes my Sony stuff too
I actually came across Push Square yesterday when I nonchalantly clicked the Vita Gamer banner out of boredom.
I'll definitely be visiting this site more often!
No. I'll stay with Nintendo. I had a PS and a PS2, but once I got the Wii, they gathered dust. Also, I always had Nintendo handhelds, so I didn't get the PSP, I got the DS. Nintendo rules!
@ #69 - ZING! xD
YES! I was hoping this would happen!
Finally!
I did not own the Sony Move so I really did not use Movemodo much. Now that its an all Sony site I'll check it out.
Congrats Sammy for making it back into the fold in a big way.
"Pushsquare - From the makers of Nintendo Life!" reads a bit disingenuous to me hovering over that icon, could've read "now a member of" but since you guys are all mates since the old days, and well they are your sites, who am I to say?
yechh.... gross.
Sony already has a website anyway.
www.RadioShack.com. heh
no need for this malarky... yechh-
nah. i dont care for playstation any more. My first game system i got was a sega genisis my dad got me at the swapmeet. then i went to my dads freinds house and his freind had a Playstation 1. I loved it and later got one for my birthday follying a playstation 2 next. Then i got into nintendo and almost never touched my playstaion 2 since. (this means i dont care about PS3 like everyone in the world.)
I still can't believe it. I was at Taco Bell last week (my second favorite restaurant) and I saw that they were giving away PS Vitas! Why Taco Bell! Why did you betray me!!
@Masterox7737: #85 I'm told they have cookies.
What makes this so awesome for Sony PS owners, is that you now have a review site for that console w/ review credibility the same as NLife, b/c it's the same people, on the same network. That same level of high credibility is the gem of this news. Or @ the very least, it would be to me, if I owned a PS.
I came to NintendoLife for a reason and that's for Nintendo news and ONLY Nintendo news. Sorry, I'm not interested in Sony! I have a PS1 and 2, but I've barely ever touched those aside from playing FFIX a lot. I'm sticking with Nintendo!
Nintendo Life is pretty great so I have no doubt Push Square will be as well.
Now to get geared up for all of the Vita launch titles coming soon. Yikes!
slick looking site, guys. good job; can't wait for it to happen here at NL.
(the definition of a 'troll' here lately seems to be 'anyone who disagrees with me'.)

Nintendo Life is pretty great so I have no doubt Push Square will be as well.
This.
Not bad, I'll be using that site as well.
BOSS!!!!!!!!!!!
hey nice... no. not really... no... it's not nice...
Now all thats left is a microsoft site!!
Hmmm... I like the name Push Square, but I don't particularly care for sony products, so meh.
CRUCIFY HIM!!!!
