Population: indoors
Welcome to Box Art Brawl, the weekly perusal of regional retro box art variants that ends with a vote on the best of the bunch.

Poll Vote For Your Favourite Fire Emblem Games
Nintendo Life reader phase!
Earlier this week we posted our ranking of all the Fire Emblem games that have received an official release in the West.

How does Switch Online compare to its rivals?

News Atlus Wants To Know If You'd Like Persona, Etrian Odyssey And Other Past Games On Your Switch
Atlus shrugged? Far from it!
Each year, Atlus runs an online survey in Japan, and 2020 is no exception. The key difference with this year's survey is that it has one question that is focused strongly on the Switch – more specifically, which Atlus titles fans would like to see come to Nintendo's hybrid console. The survey is obviously in Japanese,...

We propose some possibilities, both plausible and preposterous

Poll What Other Wii U Games Do You Want To See On Switch?
The pickings are getting slimmer, but some still remain...

Poll Daemon X Machina Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
A must-buy, or has the hype fallen away?
Today sees the launch of Daemon X Machina, which has perhaps unintentionally become of the most intriguing Switch releases this year.

Poll How Do You Pronounce These Nintendo-Related Words?
Let’s call the whole thing off
As British film critic Mark Kermode often says, we should never make fun of people for mispronouncing words because — more often than not — it means they learned it through reading.
