Feature Games To Play After You've Finished Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Attack of the (Zelda) Clones
It’s been over two years since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launched and we first ventured out onto the great plains of a truly open Hyrule. In that time, we’ve found all the shrines, defeated Calamity Ganon and scoured the kingdom for every last item and Korok seed. We’ve seen it all – and we went...
Feature Behind The Scenes On Collection Of Mana And Trials Of Mana
"The original games were very popular"
Of the many surprises we got at E3 2019, the confirmation that the Mana series would be getting a much-needed shot in the arm was one of the most pleasant.

It's coming to Mega Drive, NEO GEO and... Switch?!

Games today are massive, epic ventures; collaborations between hundreds, if not thousands of talented individuals all striving toward a common...

"Prohibition strategy" is a genre now
During one of our E3 appointments, we sat in a tiny, packed room to observe a 20-minute gameplay demo for Empire of Sin, the upcoming 1920s-themed strategy game slated to release Spring 2020.

Feature Best Nintendo Switch Games
As voted by you lovely people
In a little over two years Switch has amassed a huge amount of software - more than any Nintendo fan dared to dream after the slim pickings of the Wii U generation. Of course, this abundance of riches leaves us in something of a pickle - too much software, not enough time to play it all. In fairness, it's a very nice...
Guide Best Nintendo Switch Micro SD Cards 2019
Give your Switch a much needed storage boost
If you picked up a Nintendo Switch recently and have downloaded any games from the bounty available on Nintendo eShop, it's highly likely that you'll be running out of internal storage space soon.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 15th)
Here are our picks, but what are yours?
What a busy, busy week it's been in the Nintendo world. E3 has now come to an end, and a good 90% of the Nintendo Life team is feeling ready to retire to our beds for long, well-deserved naps.

Feature Best Nintendo Switch RPGs
Our round-up of the best RPGs on the console
At launch, Switch started with a steady sprinkle of decent releases, whether new games or ports from other platforms, but in the months that followed the software snowballed and now you can't move for quality titles across almost every category. The RPG genre is no exception. This selection of the...

Teamwork makes the dream work
While there's a great many different types of gaming experiences available on Switch, the chances are that couch co-op games were a big part of the reason you bought Nintendo's hybrid console.

Hands On Zelda: Link's Awakening On Switch Treads A Fine Line Between Remake And Reimagining
Impressions from the E3 show floor
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could play a Zelda game on the go? Okay, okay, we know what you're thinking. Today, you could fill up a whole stadium with portable Zelda games alone. But in 1993? How would anyone ever get a Zelda game to fit onto a Game Boy cartridge? Impossible. Well, they obviously figured it out...

Gotta Smash-em all!
When Nintendo announced that the latest version of Smash Bros. would be called Super Smash Bros.

Hands On Luigi’s Mansion 3 Is Shaping Up To Be The Best In The Series
Can someone get Luigi a real estate agent?
Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the Nintendo Switch is exactly that: the third entry into the bizarre Nintendo series where brother Luigi is left to scour haunted locations in search of missing friends. It’s a game where you use a vacuum cleaner (The Poltergust 3000, mind you) to suck up ghosts, sort of like a...
Hands On Pokémon Sword And Shield’s Dynamax Mode Has Us Shook
Adding a whole new dynamic to battling

Feature Dormant Nintendo Franchises We'd Like To See Return On Switch
No, not just F-Zero
Nintendo is such a celebrated and storied developer that there’s very little in its back catalogue that lies undisturbed.

Feature Best Nintendo Switch Metroidvania Games
Or 'Castloid', if you prefer
The word 'Metroidvania' might rub some gamers the wrong way, but it's a useful catch-all term to describe a very specific type of game experience.

Feature Best Nintendo Switch Fighting Games
Make war, not love
It's ironic that one of the most violent video game genres is also one which has pulled millions of people together; ever since the early days of Fatal Fury and Street Fighter II, the humble 'fighting game' genre has created (and arguably ended) countless friendships. This style of game that is perfect for social multiplayer...

Piecing it together
From the very beginning, Nintendo handhelds have been a powerhouse in the puzzle genre, championing games that might have been lost in the bombastic, graphics-obsessed arena of home consoles.

Guide How To Redeem Nintendo Switch eShop Codes From Your Smartphone Or Computer
No Switch required!
Buying your games digitally is a super-convenient way to get your hands on the latest and greatest titles, and buying directly from the Nintendo eShop via your console or online is a doddle.

Shoot 'em up, all of 'em
The humble shoot ‘em up has been a staple genre ever since the very beginning of video games when Spacewar! laid down the basic groundwork in 1962.

Hardware Review Retro-Bit Tribute64 - A Fine N64 Controller, And Perfect For Smash On Switch
But which version do you buy?
It's fair to say that the Nintendo 64 controller was a groundbreaking release.

Back to Gransys, yet again
I've got quite an odd relationship with Dragon's Dogma. When it was originally released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 way, way back in 2012, I was fresh off the back of Dark Souls and was hungry for a similar swords-and-sorcery experience. With its grim fantasy setting and frenetic third-person combat, Capcom's...
