Poll So, How Are You Pronouncing Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Tears or Tears? Or both?
As the dust settles on another Nintendo Direct, we think it's fair to say that our little gaming minds have been sufficiently blown. We've got news of GoldenEye! Pikmin 4! Fire Emblem Engage! Tunic!

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom! Fire Emblem Engage! Pikmin 4!
Well, that was one heck of a Nintendo Direct, wasn't it? While it perhaps wasn't the massive Zelda blowout we were all expecting, Nintendo had no shortage of first-party reveals and exclusives, amidst some big Indies and multiplatform releases. Let's start with the biggie, then — Breath...

While it...
Poll Do You Actually Want Switch Ports Of Wind Waker And Twilight Princess?
The rumour mill is turning...
There's always a Switch rumour these days. When it's not "new Metroid", it's "Switch Pro"; when it's not either of those, it's "Zelda remakes". The latest rumour is a Nintendo Direct focused on Zelda ports, and maybe a Metroid, which means chances are high that it's actually about the Switch Pro, right? Now, we're...

Video The Unsolved amiibo Dilemma - Boxed Or Unboxed?
Tell us what you do
One burning question that we still haven't got to the bottom of here on Nintendo Life is how to display amiibo figures. Do you keep them in the box or do you take them out of the box and put the model on your shelf. As fantastic as they look in the box, they're arguably better out of it.

You might be forgiven for thinking that we here at Nintendo Life are a little too excited by Live A Live, an HD-2D remake of a 1994 JRPG that, by many accounts, was a bit of a flop.

Some are out for blood
Netflix’s Resident Evil show dropped on the streaming service last week, and just like with any video game adaptation, it’s drawn some rather mixed reactions across the board.
