Did you know Nintendo Life has its own Discord server? Well, we do. And we've spruced the place up quite a bit to get it all ship shape for all of you lovely readers.
Admittedly, we've had the server for a little while now, letting it sit around and gather dust. But we've been working hard to bring it all up to date as a community hub for all things Nintendo Life (and Nintendo. And video games. And whatever else you fancy).
We won't reveal anything here, but we've got plans in place to make this place a thriving, positive place to chat, share, and bond. We've added some brand new features to the server, neatened up the channels a bit, and as for the rest, you'll just have to wait and see.
So come in and join the Nintendo Life Discord server today and hang out with us!

Alex threatened me in the description of the announcement video on YouTube, so I just had to join, y'know
This is great news. I remember years ago NL had a chat room, I never participated in it but did know users who did. Exciting times indeed.
I don't really understand what Discord is, I guess. I thought it was just a chat thing.
I joined the Discord a while back, poked around, and then promptly neglected to ever check it out again.
I'm hoping that there's enough activity to get a Pool going in Splatoon.
I've been wondering when we'd get it back up and running!
I really hope this site remains intact. Seen too many times that forums have been shut down because Discord gets treated as their replacement.
“But please, no discord in the Discord”
But that’s what Discord stands for!!! 😩
I’ll stay in the fourums hope everyone else enjoys it
Pretty cool. I will check it out but will have to see if it will hold my interest.
This is gonna go great.
Cool cool...
@Eagly It looks a bit more chaotic than the Forums so far...
@Grumblevolcano I hope the same thing...
Can we get an all purpose Alex Sticker pack in the server?if only we could send audio bits "Hello there, lovely people"
Edit: ok, I joined in and I love the custom emoji
Wow. Lot of people joined today. It's suddenly more lively than ever. I joined back in 2018. Last time I checked, which to be fair was at least a year ago, it was pretty much dead.
@HotGoomba very
I've been in a few discord servers for different topics, and perhaps I am the common denominator, but I've always found they've lived up to the platform's name and dissolve into really quite unpleasant exchanges.
That's cool! I remember joining the server a while ago but I left it because I saw how inactive it was. Maybe I'll look into it again!
@Grumblevolcano Agreed.
Forums are much better than Facebook Groups, Discord, or whatever other replacements that have come along and killed off so many forums.
Discussions quickly get lost on Facebook Groups and Discord, which means the same topics tend to get repeated and repeated. Facebook Groups seem to encourage a "look at me" attitude too - that "my" view is more important so it deserves it's own post instead of being part of the original discussion.
Forums make it much easier to keep track of topics you're interested in.
Neat! Happy to be on board!
I don't know what Discord is Is it free?
@GrailUK
the only cost is your soul...
I mean... yeah the base service is free, you can subscribe for extra stuff.
This will be nice. Now we won't all have to have 20 back-and-forths between two people in the comments of random articles.
I mostly use Discord to follow Twitch music streamers, but I'll happily jump into this server too.
@Uncle_Franklin That sounds very reasonable...
@FishyS
Maybe we all want to back and forth.
(Now it's your turn to respond.)
When I seen that title, my first thought was Alex is pregnant.
Thy haste joined.
@JONOFTHEJONS
Felix, that sly old fox...
I hate Discord. It's like being in a room full of people all talking over each other. Literally don't see the point in it whatsoever.
I'm not sure how often I'll be there since I barely use Discord except for playing with friends online but still, I joined last night!
Reminds me that I should participate even just a bit in the forums too, not just in these comment sections...
I don’t know, I can be a bit edgy and offensive at times. Discord culture tends to reject that over time.
@FishyS There's an easy solution to that; don't have a back and forth with a random internet denizen. I have notifications turned off, I don't check what anyone says, and if I comment on an article it's the only time I'll ever be on that article. Say what you need to and move on, keep the chat about the topic at hand, and never revisit an old conversation.
@Colonel_Mustache I’ll stick to the fourums
@Eagly Fair enough, I jumped in for a little bit and then left, and it jumped down so much I had no clue how to get back into it...
It's like Live Chat I guess, so it was interesting since other than the live streams on here I had never done one...
@Colonel_Mustache I am happier with the slower more in depth discussions on NL
@Eagly Yeah it's definitely two different kinds of discussion types...
@Colonel_Mustache too fast for me I am happy here where we can have a conversation last a month if need be
@Eagly That's cool, and I think the majority of people here in the comments and forums are gonna stay here too, I haven't recognized anybody on there other than Alex...
@Colonel_Mustache I love alex but I will just enjoy him in the videos discord is too chaotic for me
