Poll How Hyped Are You For Nintendo's E3 Direct?
Remember to breathe
Well, the waiting is almost over. We've watched all of the other streams and publishers so far in this virtual E3, and it's been a mix of good and rather bad. Microsoft did arguably put in a rather strong Xbox showing, but there's certainly a sense that with many other showcases struggling to impress there's a real opportunity...
Talking Point E3 Leaks Are Inevitable, But Do You Actually Want To Know?
What's life without surprises?
We're now into the latter half of E3 silly season, as rumours and leaks — some real, some clearly not — bombard us gaming enthusiasts at every turn online. If you know where to look and have the inclination, you can often find entire run-orders for the likes of the Xbox presentation hours before the show, or...
Feature What's Your Most Treasured Club Nintendo Possession?
In da Club
Accumulating points to save money on Switch eShop purchases is all well and good, but Nintendo's current rewards system for loyal customers arguably lacks the pizzazz of the old Club Nintendo days. That's not to say that the more recent My Nintendo physical goodies are bad. In fact, the swag you can redeem Platinum coins for nowadays is...
News Nintendo Waves Through Yet More Asset Flips Onto Switch eShop
A load of old asset
Last year we ran a story on The Bullet: Time of Revenge, a 'new' release on Switch eShop that turned out to be an 'asset flip'; a pre-made and purchased asset pack given a new name and sent along to Nintendo for eShop lotcheck. While this might rub many people the wrong way, this practice is technically totally legal — the...
Poll So, How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest Kickoff Live?
A solid 7/10?
With E3 2021 set to begin imminently, the summer season of game announcements kicked off yesterday with Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest Kickoff Live show, which highlighted upcoming releases across all platforms, including one Nintendo Switch. We live-blogged the broadcast (and Double Fine's Day of the Devs showcase which went out...
Random What If Nintendo Just Released A Basic Switch XL?
Warhorse Studios had some Photoshop struggles
As you may or may not have noticed, here at Nintendo Life we've tried to be pretty darn picky in the past couple of weeks about what we report regarding the 'next' Switch, or 'Switch Pro' as people insist on calling it. 'Pro' tip, that PlayStation-style branding is very unlikely from modern-day Nintendo,...
Poll Will You Be Using Motion Controls In Mario Golf: Super Rush?
Your Joy-Con is now a golf club
Believe it or not, but Mario Golf: Super Rush is out on the Nintendo Switch in just a few weeks. As we already know, it'll include motion controls, so you can actually pretend you're swinging a real golf club with your Switch Joy-Con controller. In the lead-up to the game's release, Nintendo Japan has uploaded a new...
Feature Nintendo's Most Iconic E3 Moments
5 of the best, from live shows to pre-recorded puppets
E3 2021 is just around the corner, though with a whole lot of competing events and streams it's not quite the industry-defining occasion of the past. Yet Nintendo will be 'there' with a day that'll feature an E3 Nintendo Direct and three hours of Treehouse demonstrations streamed for your...
Community 12 Nintendo Switch Games We Missed, Recommended By You
Part 3: Another dozen gems that escaped us
The success of Nintendo Switch has led to a flood of quality games on the platform that not even the most optimistic Nintendo fan could have dreamed of in the leaner Wii U years. The constant stream of games from studios large and small means that even in the quieter periods between tentpole releases —...
Talking Point How Good Are You At Games?
Skills to pay the bills, bro?
Back in the olden days, when my world was decidedly smaller, I used to think I was pretty handy when it came to video games. When schoolmates came over to play GoldenEye or Mario Kart 64, I'd wipe the floor with the lot of them and I naively believed it was down to my unrivalled reaction speed and prowess with the pad...
Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #86 - Battletoads
Let's not be Rash
Welcome back to Box Art Brawl, our semi-regular retro box art poll to decide the best regional variants from two or more territories. Last time went on an epic JRPG Dragon Quest in celebration of the series' 35th anniversary. Following a spirited duel between North America and Japan, it was the caricatured beast from the East that...

Poll What's Your Favourite Game Boy Color... Colour?
Fine and Dandelion
We recently asked you to rate your favourite Game Boy Color games, but while the results for that ranking are still coming in (look out for the Top 50 soon, and don't forget to rate your own GBC collection if you haven't already!), we thought we'd pose a question regarding the hardware itself: Which is the best Game Boy Color...
Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #85 - Dragon Quest
Don't be such a Warrior
Welcome back to Box Art Brawl, our regular (normally, although we've had a few weeks off) retro box art-based poll to find the best regional variants from two or more territories. Last time we grabbed our cameras for a closeup of Pokémon Snap on Nintendo 64. Europe's bluer cover emerged as as the winner quite comfortably,...
Poll What's The Best Game Boy Color Game?
A splash of colo(u)r
The granddaddy of modern handheld gaming, the Game Boy, got an unexpected shot in the arm in the mid-'90s when a little game named Pokémon released and gave the ageing hardware a new lease of life. The updated Game Boy Pocket hardware might have slimmed down the bulky original DMG-001, but it was the long-awaited arrival of the...
Poll What's The Best Dragon Quest Game?
I need a Hero
Originally released in the West under the localised Dragon Warrior title, it's been nearly thirty-five years since Dragon Quest, Yuji Horii's seminal RPG series, debuted in Japan. In that time, we've seen eleven mainline entries in a series which led the way in defining the JRPG genre itself. Japanese Nintendo gamers have enjoyed...
Talking Point If Nintendo Released Them, Would You Play Virtual Boy Games Today?
Virtually unheard of
Nintendo's Virtual Boy was an inarguably strange system, although mentioning its name can elicit markedly different responses. To many, the little tabletop non-HMD is little more than a punchline; a hilarious blink-and-you'll-miss-it example of Nintendo toying with an idea that was sabotaged from the off by hopelessly inadequate...
Poll The Famicom Detective Club Games Are Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting Them?
Have your say...
It can be easy to get frustrated with Nintendo and the way in which it treats its legacy content – sure, you can play Super Mario Bros. on every system under the sun, but plenty of the company's more obscure titles are just impossible to enjoy legitimately these days. Thankfully, then, today's Famicom Detective Club launches are a...
Poll Are You Excited About E3 2021?
Come for the reveals, stay for the cringe-factor
It perhaps wasn't surprising that E3 2021 was announced as an online-only affair; the logistics involved in staging an expo, not to mention all of the preparation and traveling for global exhibitors, made an in-person event impossible in the current circumstances. For the vast majority of those that...
Random Did You Know Link Can Ride On Giant Barrels In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
Do a barrel roll!
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for the Nintendo Switch is now more than four years old and somehow players are still discovering new things within the kingdom of Hyrule. Over the past few weeks, many players seem to have just found out that Link can actually ride large barrels in the game. It appears to have surprised...
2018's burning question, now updated for 2021!
Update: In the light of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe selling an incredible 10.6 million copies in 2020 alone, we've decided to resurrect this piece, which was originally published in July of 2018. Back then, we asked if you wanted to see Nintendo support the game with more DLC, and almost three years on, we're...
Poll Box Art Brawl #84 - Pokémon Snap
Snappy chappy
Welcome back to Box Art Brawl, our regular retro box art-based poll to find the best regional variants from two or more territories. Last time we looked at Brain Training for Nintendo DS on its 15th anniversary, and after a meeting of the minds it seems that Europe had both the brains and the beauty; the EU cover walked away with over...

Poll New Pokémon Snap Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Have your say...
After more than 20 years of waiting, Pokémon fans can finally tuck into a brand new game in the spin-off Snap series today thanks to the launch of New Pokémon Snap. With plenty of Pokémon to discover, brand new characters and locations to see, and a lovely, shiny new look for this beloved series, this new game has been on our...
News How Do You Feel About Mario After His 35th Anniversary? Nintendo Apparently Wants To Know
You still love him, right?
Last month, Nintendo pulled the plug on Super Mario's 35th-anniversary celebrations. It did this by removing Super Mario 3D All-Stars from the Switch eShop, shutting down Super Mario Bros. 35 and even ending online services for older Mario games. Many fans are still questioning why it had to end like this, and for some,...
Talking Point Do You Miss Instruction Manuals?
They gave the boxes some heft, no?
For many of us more 'seasoned' gamers, it's sometimes tempting to look back with rose-tinted specs and think that video games were just 'better' in the past. You know, back in the olden times when you didn't need an account and an email address and an 8-character password (minimum one capital letter, one special...
Talking Point Is It Worth Buying A Nintendo Wii U In 2021?
The answer might not be as obvious as you think...
Nintendo's doing pretty well at the moment, with its Switch console selling like hotcakes and games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons creating a whole new generation of fans. You might assume, then, that the sheer notion of investing your hard-earned money in the company's last-gen system – and...
Poll What's The Best Mega Man Game?
Rate every Mega Man game on Nintendo systems
Capcom's blue bomber and his various successors, companions and assorted compadres might have had a quiet few years a while back, but a string of more recent collections — not to mention the excellent Mega Man 11 — have helped put the little robot dude back on the gaming map in a way that fans could...
Poll Box Art Brawl #83 - Brain Age / Brain Training
Hype brain
Welcome back to Box Art Brawl, our regular box art-based poll to find the best regional variants from two or more territories. Last time we took a 20th anniversary look at HAL Laboratory's GBC game, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. With Europe out of the running thanks to the game never launching in that region, it was left to North America and...
Soapbox 'I'll Play It On Game Pass' Is Becoming Common, But Does That Affect Switch eShop?
The stats say perhaps not
Though the Nintendo Switch is my most-played system, I have a confession, dear readers. I also play a fair bit on the Xbox Series X, which I somehow pre-ordered in the distant time of 2020, and it actually arrived. Sure enough the devil is banging on the door demanding payment of my soul, but I'll just keep playing games...
Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #82 - Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble
Rock 'n' roll
Welcome back to Box Art Brawl, our weekly poll to find the best regional box art variant from two or more retro candidates.

Poll Monster Hunter Rise Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
And will this be your first MH game?
The day for tracking down mighty foes and slaying them with your closest friends has finally arrived, as Monster Hunter Rise launches today on Nintendo Switch. In some ways, the Monster Hunter franchise is a bit of an odd beast; we tend to see a divide between players who find the prospect of jumping into the...
Talking Point Are You A 'Complete-In-Box' Or 'Loose Cart' Retro Gamer?
'Cause you never quite know where the CIBs is at
Many many moons ago, I used to have a hard rule when it came to buying secondhand games: CIB, or on yer bike. You can tell it was years ago, because back then we called them 'secondhand', not 'preowned'. You see, I was the type of kid who would keep not only the pamphlets and warranty cards that came...
Poll What Other Nintendo Franchise Would You Like To See Niantic Work On?
Let us know!
Earlier today it was announced that Nintendo and Niantic would be partnering to release a Pikmin mobile app, designed to make walking "more fun" with real-world AR technology.

Talking Point One Year On, What's Still Missing From Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
O Brewster, where art thou?
After a long, tiring old year, Animal Crossing: New Horizons needs a shot.

The damn fine coffee of everyone's...

Talking Point Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
The eternal question
There's one question that has plagued mankind for what feels like an eternity. No, it's not the meaning of life. It's not even the question of why a buttered slice of bread always falls face down when you drop it. We are talking, of course, about that age-old quandary: Is The Legend of Zelda an RPG? Wikipedia, everyone's...

They've all played with power in the past
Unless you've been living on a deserted island for the past four years (hey, lucky you — wish you'd stayed there now, right?), it's hard to miss how Switch has taken Nintendo back to the sort of mainstream success is achieved with the Wii two console generations ago.

Poll What's The Best Kirby Game?
The suckiest of heroes
When it comes to platform mascots and beloved characters, the Mario and Zelda series might get a lot of attention, but there are few heroes as enduring and as beloved as Kirby.

Poll What Was Your Favourite Animal Crossing: New Horizons Event Of 2020?
Event Horizons
Contrary to previous games in the series, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was very much 'incomplete' when it launched back in March.
