Poll Hasn't Nintendo Always Been An 'Entertainment' Company?
Let Mii entertain you
The times are a-changin' for Nintendo, it seems. Nobody would doubt that the company has been video game-focused for the past few decades, but with theme parks, movies, and mobile apps popping up all over the place, it seems that the Big-N is moving in a slightly different direction. This was echoed by Nintendo of America...
Talking Point Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom DLC - What Would You Have Liked To See?
Maybe... less game?
We all know that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the gift that keeps on giving — even without additional content.

Talking Point After Three Months, What's Your Zelda: TOTK Completion Percentage?
Tears of Completion
Believe it or not The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has now been out for just over three whole months.

Talking Point Should The Pokémon Company Stick To Just One Pokémon Presents A Year?
How would you rate the latest showcase?
Serious question There was a Pokémon Presents showcase today, and while they've gained something of a reputation for not being the most scintillating of Nintendo-related presentations, there's usually something worth tuning in for, even if you're a latent Pokéfan who drifted away after Gen I. Today,...
Anniversary Dead Cells Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving Five Years On
Look at that fire grow
Today marks the fifth anniversary of Dead Cells on the Nintendo Switch in North America, and what a five years it has been.

Poll Do You Think Switch Can Catch PS2's Total Sales Before 'Switch 2' Arrives?
Hardware headscratcher
In case you missed it, the Nintendo Switch has now sold over 129 million units as of June 30th, 2023.

Let's remind ourselves of...
Poll Have You Ordered Physical Switch Games That Came With The Cart Missing?
MariNo Cart
If you hadn't already guessed, we on Team Nintendo Life love a bit of physical media. Yes, the convenience of downloading a game from the eShop is unbeatable, but if we have the chance to get one of those red-spined boxes on our shelves, we'll take it. We do have one insistence, though: those boxes have to come with a cartridge inside...

Shoebox showcase
Call us sentimental, call us paranoid, call us what you will, but around these parts we still love the physical article when it comes to our media, especially video games.

Holy smokes was this a close one! NA just...
Poll Final Fantasy IV - Do You Prefer The Original Or The DS Remake?
Throwing down the gauntlet
The DS remake of Final Fantasy IV turns 15 today in North America - can you believe it? If the copious social media posts earlier this week about Nolan's The Dark Knight didn't make you feel old, then perhaps this will. Regardless, it still stands to this day as one of the most impressive remakes we've seen. Granted, the...
Reminder Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Xenoblade Chronicles amiibo Are Out Today

Poll Which Dormant Nintendo Franchise Would You Most Like To See Return?
We'll never let go
Whenever Nintendo brings a franchise back from the brink of extinction, it's always cause for significant celebration.

Despite the ongoing rumours and hints...

Poll Super Mario All-Stars Is 30 Years Old - Do You Prefer The NES Or SNES Versions Of The Classics?
NES is more?
Video game compilations might feel like a new-ish thing — a bevvy of digital treats all packed into one cartridge (or disc, or download), but they're practically as old as the medium. When we think of classic compilations, one of the first that springs to mind is the SNES's Super Mario All-Stars. This 16-bit collection launched on...

What's more important — saving the world from impending doom, or rescuing the cat that's stuck at the top of a tree? Depending on who you ask, they might give you an answer you won't expect.

Feature Pikmin Tier List - Which Pikmin Type Is The Best?
Pik of the bunch
We are just a few weeks away from the release of Pikmin 4, which is set to add two brand-new types of our leaf-headed companions into the Pik 'n' mix.

Talking Point Is Tears Of The Kingdom The Scariest Zelda Game Ever?
The horrors of Hyrule
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is pretty darn scary. I don't mean in the same sense that Majora's Mask is unsettling for its whole run-time, and there certainly isn't a moment like that cutscene in Twilight Princess. But even now with my ridiculously overpowered, full hearts Link, Tears of the Kingdom has me on the...

Talking Point Could Nintendo Squeeze Another Zelda Game Out Of TOTK's Open World?
Lorule love? Termina time?
Prior to release — and especially before a couple of presentations gave us a better idea of what to expect in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom — there were doubts as to exactly how different it would be from its immediate predecessor. & Kingdom.
