Yes that's right, although we said a fond farewell to Felix and Zion over the last few months, Alex has now been joined by a brand new face over on YouTube: please say hello to Mai Ladyman!
Mai is no stranger to making YouTube videos, but she now joins Alex full-time as we storm into 2026. We've no doubt she will flourish as Nintendo ramps up its Switch 2 plans over the coming months and years.
Speaking of Nintendo, Mai is particularly partial to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. On other consoles (yes, they do exist!), Mai is fond of Fallout 4 (hey, that's coming to Switch 2!), Baldur's Gate 3 (hey, that probably isn't coming to Switch 2!), and The Last of Us Part II.

Congratulations Mai, welcome to the Nintendo Life team in general and in particular the video crew - hope we'll see also articles, second opinions etc. by you here on the site from time to time just like Zion and Felix before (I'll most certainly watch at least some videos including you at some point as much as I barely watch the NL YouTube channel nowadays, but still)!

Mai Ladyman is like a James Bond level pun name. Hopefully highschool wasn't too cruel with a name like that.
