This is it!
We apologise for bombarding you with Splatoon 2 news, but this weekend is the final Splatfest.

We want to know - so pick a side in the poll below and tell us how your...
Poll Have Your Joy-Con Been Drifting?
We want to know
Recently, there has been much discussion online about "drifting" Joy-Con. It's been an ongoing issue since the release of the Switch and one we've addressed here on Nintendo Life on a number of occasions. We've even gone to the extent of publishing a step-by-step guide and releasing a video about how to resolve this problem. Still,...

Talking Point It's A Pretty Sweet Time For 'New' Retro Games, But What Does It Mean For Collectors?
Are you a fan of 'official' repro releases?
One of the most annoying things about collecting and playing vintage games is the cost. While a great many classic carts are available at cheap prices on the second-hand market, the most desirable examples are rising in value all of the time, which means many people simply don't bother with physical games...

Poll What Do You Want To See From The Final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct?
It's the last one, don't forget...
The launch of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate looms ever closer, and yesterday Nintendo announced that the final Direct broadcast relating to the game will go live today at 15:00 CET / 7AM PT / 10AM ET. As is so often the case, we don't actually know what this broadcast will involve - the only solid information is that...

Video Huawei Claim their Phone is Better than Nintendo Switch
Nah Mate
People love to ride on Nintendo's successes, even when they're not terribly successful, such as the Wii U. So it's no enormous surprise that Huawei compared their new 'gaming phone', the Mate 20 X, to the biggest cock of the handheld gaming walk, the Nintendo Switch. Aside from the fact that claiming something as simply 'better' is...
Feature What Do You Want From A New Nintendo Switch?
What's on your wish list?
Today, The Wall Street Journal ran a report which claims that Nintendo plans to release a revised Switch console towards the end of 2019. As rumours go, it's certainly on the believable side of things; Nintendo's track record in this area speaks for itself, and it has consistently iterated on its portable hardware over the...

Opinion What Did You Think Of Today's Nintendo Direct?
So many announcements!
Following last week's Nintendo Direct delay due to the earthquake in Hokkaido, the presentation - hosted by Shinya Takahashi - has now been and gone. The broadcast didn't waste any time, immediately revealing Luigi's Mansion 3 would be coming to the Switch in 2019. A brief segment focused on the 3DS was next in line,...
Talking Point Do We Still Need Review Scores?
I like to score
Review scores have been a thing since the earliest days of the video game industry. Publications in the early '80s would always rate games on their own scale, using either percentages, stars, letters of the alphabet or - as we do - a rating out of 10. If you grew up with video game magazines such as EGM, GamePro, Mean Machines, CVG...

Poll What Did You Think Of The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct?
Have your say
As the dust begins to settle, and as we finally manage to retrieve our well and truly blown-off socks, it seems like now is a good time to take a look back at the shenanigans, reveals, and juicy info that were all present in the recent Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct. Many went into the Direct with a degree of caution,...
Poll What Do You Want From Today's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct?
New characters? New modes? Or something else?
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is shaping up to be one of the year's biggest releases, certainly for Switch owners. As one of Nintendo's biggest properties - which pulls together characters from a dizzying number of franchises, including a bunch of third-party legends, no less - Smash is the kind of game...

Poll Is Your Nintendo Switch Cracking Under The Pressure?
Update: Nintendo gives us a statement
Update: Nintendo has responded to our appeal for a statement on this matter: After checking in with the European team we can confirm that we haven’t received a notable number of consumer inquiries on this topic, but as with all our products, we encourage users who experience any issues to visit for...

Poll As "Gaming Disorder" Becomes A Thing, Is It Time To Assess How Much You Play?
Doctor WHO?
You can expect to hear a lot about the addictive nature of video games over the next few days, because the World Health Organisation has just published the latest draft of its updated International Classification of Diseases manual, and a, "gaming disorder," is listed as a genuine medical condition. It's been a long time...
Poll Who Would You Rather Have By Your Side In Pokémon Let's Go? Pikachu Or Eevee?
The ultimate showdown
Hello there, lovely readers! Unless you've been living under a particularly large Geodude for the past week or so, you'll no doubt be aware that Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are headed to the Switch this November. While having new Pokémon adventures on Switch is obviously great news, one very...

Are cloud saves enough?
So, we finally know. Nintendo's proverbial floodgates have opened and let through a relatively small but impactful chunk of knowledge regarding the oft-forgotten Nintendo Switch Online service.

Poll Surprise! A New Zelda Is In Development, But What Do You Want From It?
Another open-world adventure, or a return to the classic roots?
To the surprise of absolutely nobody at all, Nintendo has recently confirmed that work has already begun on the next instalment in the Zelda franchise. The blindingly obvious announcement came in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Master Works, a book which has recently...
Poll Capcom is Finally Bringing Mega Man Back - Are You Excited?
Mega Man 11! Legacy Collections! X Series!
Capcom is often the target of exasperation and mockery among video game followers. Its treatment of the Mega Man series is a case in point, with high profile instances of cancelled games and the disappointing disappearance of the franchise after Mega Man 10. Then the company confirmed projects for a cartoon...

Poll Have Your Say on the Best Main Series 3D Mario and Zelda Games
Red or green? We hate to do this to you...
It’s hard to deny that the Nintendo Switch has been a monumental success since its launch back in March of this year, and that’s not only due to the console’s innovative design and functionality, but also thanks to some of the tremendous software we’ve received on the system. Two notable entries,...
Poll Which is the Best Super Mario Game?
Choose the best 2D, 3D and overall winners
With all of the buzz and excitement around the recent release of Super Mario Odyssey, a question doing the rounds is whether it's the 'best' Mario game. If you happen to be sharing a beverage with a group of gamers anytime soon drop that question and let the cards fall where they may. We have some thoughts...

Poll The Switch eShop is Hot, But Is It Time for an Overhaul of Its User Interface?
Yes, in our view
The Switch eShop seems to be going from strength to strength in recent weeks and months. After a first few months of curation - as declared by Nintendo in a pre-launch Nindies Showcase - the shackles have come off and more developers have been able to release content on the store. Yes, there's been a little bit of dross and games...

Poll A Retro Quest - Were You Able to Buy a Super NES Classic Edition / SNES Mini?
Nintendo promised more stock; did it deliver?
Well, it's here - the Super NES Classic Edition / SNES Mini has arrived, bringing with it 21 games including the first official release of Star Fox 2. It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect - a cute and utterly charming little gadget that does a great job emulating iconic SNES games. Nintendo,...
Poll Nintendo's Switch Arcade Archives - Is It the Retro Gaming You Want?
They're fresh options, but questions remain over a Switch VC
Nintendo often finds a way to surprise its fans and throw a curveball, and so in the most recent Nintendo Direct it didn't unveil the Switch Virtual Console, as such, but the 'Arcade Archives' series. It started this week with Arcade Archives Mario Bros., and the following are still on the...
Poll What Did You Think of the Nintendo Direct?
The dust has settled...
This week we had the second of what is now the 'current' mainline Nintendo Direct format. Yes, we've had showcases, presentations, game-specific Directs and so on, but this week's 45 minute show adopted a similar format to a Spring broadcast - quickfire 'headline' sections for each current console with some extended showcases...
Poll Six Months of the Switch - What Do You Think of Nintendo's Console Hybrid?
It's been a fascinating half year
The Switch is now over six months old, with that first half year flashing by in a blink. It's been the centrepiece in a big year for Nintendo, beginning with its full unveiling in a live January event through to its 3rd March launch. In that time we've had over 100 games on the eShop, along with some high quality...
August2017
Poll 99 Games and Counting - Are You Pleased With the Switch eShop Library?
Download decisions
We're just a couple of days away from the launch of Sonic Mania on the Switch eShop, the latest intriguing release to head to the store. While the line-up of exclusive games on the Switch download store is modest (but arguably offering quality over quantity), we're seeing a diverse range of multi-platform titles. A number of...
July2017
Poll The New Nintendo 2DS XL is Out This Week - Are You Tempted?
Heading for a quiet launch
Nintendo launches new hardware this week, but unlike some of its previous iterations it's arriving rather quietly. In fact, the company hasn't mentioned it all that much on social media in the past week or two, so you may have forgotten it's happening. The New Nintendo 2DS XL arrives on 28th July, alongside Hey! Pikmin and...
June2017
Poll What Did You Think of Nintendo at E3 2017?
Three days to mull over
E3 is now finished, as thousands of weary attendees head home and we get back to normal life. Nintendo had a presence to varying degrees across most of the week, from limited roles in the early EA and Bethesda blow-outs, to two major Switch reveals during Ubisoft's show and then, of course, three full days in which we had the...
Poll What Did You Think of Nintendo's Big Switch and 3DS Reveals at E3 on Day One?
Mario! Metroid! Yoshi! Kirby! More!
The first day of E3 is done, and Nintendo went all in with a full schedule that consisted of the Spotlight broadcast, Treehouse demonstrations and the Splatoon 2 World Inkling Invitational. We've already put together an article with all of the relevant videos, and you can also check out our E3 2017 hub page...
Poll What Did You Think of Ubisoft's Nintendo Switch Reveals at E3 2017?
Mario + Rabbids! Starlink: Battle for Atlas! Maybe Beyond Good & Evil 2?
After a couple of brief snippets of Nintendo Switch games from third-parties in early events, the Ubisoft press conference got the system well and truly up and running at E3 2017. The French company unveiled a much-expected exclusive, a surprise new IP and also made a huge...
Poll What Did You Think of the Pokémon Direct and Its Big Reveals?
Was it the ultra surprise?
Earlier today The Pokémon Company and Nintendo shared an eight minute video outlining releases in the series that we can expect this year. There were significant announcements, though they didn't match up with some expectations and predictions, particularly when it comes to 2017 releases on the Nintendo Switch. First of...
Poll Did the ARMS Global Testpunch Land a Knockout Blow?
The big pitch for Nintendo's latest new IP
It's the Nintendo way to take a modern-day trend and apply its own spin, so the idea of early-access was turned into carefully timed and managed Global Testfire events with Splatoon on Wii U. We've already had one such session with Splatoon 2 on Switch, but the ARMS Global Testpunch arguably evolved the...

Poll Who Would You Like To See In Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo Switch?
Let the hype train begin…
It’s no secret that this writer is a huge Smash Bros. enthusiast - we’ve already covered what we’d like to see in the dreamed-about enhanced port/Director’s Cut edition of Smash 4 for Nintendo Switch, but what we have here is something arguably more exciting. As E3 looms near, we at Nintendo Life would like...
Poll Who Is Your Favourite ARMS Fighter?
Let battle commence!
Following the recent Nintendo Direct it seems interest in Nintendo's upcoming motion-controlled brawler ARMS is at an all-time high. Newly revealed characters such as Twintelle seem to have resonated with lots of people too; you could say she's broken the internet, if that's one of your favoured phrases. While we all wait for...
Feature The Big ARMS Direct Summary and the Key Question - Did It Win You Over?
We've run out of ARMS puns
Nintendo can't be accused of not pushing the message that ARMS can be the next big thing. It's had a prominent role in two consecutive Nintendo Directs, the second of which was dedicated almost entirely to the game, and it revealed details that demonstrate a willingness to ensure that - from day one - there'll be a solid...
Poll Nintendo is Keen on 'Social Competitive Gaming' on Switch - Are You Game?
The Switch offers unique multiplayer and event possibilities
Though we don't necessarily think it, the majority of us are 'competitive' gamers. Whether through online games in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS, or the litany of online sports games shooters, score chasers etc across multiple platforms, we play games with others and...
Poll Are You Excited About Nintendo's E3 2017 Plans?
Switch, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, ARMS, Treehouse and a bit of 3DS
Nintendo today confirmed its plans for E3 2017, and they show the company returning almost to the formula used prior to 2016's scaled back attendance. There'll be a live streamed video presentation - the 'Nintendo Spotlight' - to kick off festiv
Poll How Do You Play the Nintendo Switch - As A Portable, Home Console or Hybrid?
Finding its place in your gaming routine
The Nintendo Switch has now settled down in a number of homes, though where the hybrid sits is perhaps an interesting reflection of its nature. Does it rest primarily within its dock under the TV with other gadgets and gaming systems, or is it living as a handheld in a case, rather more like a 3DS? Due to its...
Poll What Do You Think of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild - The Master Trials DLC?
Nintendo pitches challenges and convenience in the Summer pack
Though Nintendo hasn't yet given a release date, it decided this week to promote the first major DLC pack for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Switch and Wii U. Though early purchases had a few extra treasure chests from day one, the Expansion Pass is all about two major sets...
April2017
Poll What Do You Think of the New Nintendo 2DS XL?
Out of left-field
Yesterday we published an editorial chewing over some of the figures and implications of Nintendo's financial reports, with a headline point related to Nintendo's continuing confidence in the 3DS. Estimating six million hardware sales for the portable and a whopping 40 million software sales, we tried to consider how the company...
Poll Do You Think Call Of Duty: WWII Will Come To Switch, And Would You Want It If It Did?
War is hell
Today Activision is hosting a livestream event to officially lift the lid on this year's Call of Duty entry. After the last few instalments pushed the action further and further into the future, the company has decided to turn back the clock and return to World War II, the conflict in which the very first Call of Duty game was based.
Poll Where Do You Currently Stand on ARMS and Splatoon 2?
Thoughts before this evening's Nintendo Direct
We're now mere hours away from the latest Nintendo Direct and we hope Nintendo don't pull any punches when it comes to details on forthcoming Switch titles ARMS and Splatoon 2. Whilst the Direct is scheduled to cover upcoming 3DS titles and other Switch releases (*cough* Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Poll What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
Filling out the release schedule
The Nintendo Switch has had a retail release this week, albeit one that may not set too many pulses racing - LEGO City: Undercover. We're still rattling through it for review, but it's interesting in that it's a port of a former Wii U exclusive; we should probably expect that to be a trend over the next year or two...
March2017
Poll A Month of Nintendo Switch - Do You Think It's Heading for Success?
Positive early sales and talk of high demand bodes well
The Nintendo Switch is one month old. We don't think that's a landmark worthy of cake and balloons, but it's an interesting one nevertheless. Having hit stores on Friday 3rd March the results so far have been quite positive - yes, Nintendo has a chance with this one. The opening weekend went...
Poll What Did You Think of the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire on Nintendo Switch?
We have an inkling that you had fun
Well, it was fun while it lasted - the past weekend brought us six hours of gameplay in the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire. Thanks to timezones it's likely most missed a session or two, but nevertheless it was a chance to try out two new stages, an all-new weapon and various adjusted old favourites. We played it a...
Poll Is the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire Boosting Your Nintendo Switch Hype?
Nintendo goes early in comparison to the original's online demo
When Nintendo unveiled some early retail release dates and windows, we couldn't help but ponder the gap between The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. With ARMS still sitting in a vague 'Spring' window and a number of third-party retail relea
Poll One Week On - How Do You Feel About the Nintendo Switch?
As launch hype fades and normality returns
When any new console launches, from Nintendo and otherwise, it's a period of excitement, buzz and plenty of irrationality online. Advocates and critics have blazing arguments, praise is high and issues are blown out of proportion, and actually understanding the cold reality is tricky. Nintendo has been able...
Poll Merry Switchmas - Has the Nintendo Switch Launch Got You In a Festive Spirit?
That new console vibe
Happy Switchmas Day everyone! It was like the day would never come. No, seriously, this writer thought the wait would never end. The system is here though - its launch line-up has The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and some other stuff at retail, while the eShop line-up fleshed out a little prior to launch (especially...
February2017
Poll Nintendo Switch Countdown - Less Than a Week to Go, Is the Hype Building?
It's all getting very real
With the non-stop circumspection, leaks and debates we have online, at times it can feel as if system launches will never actually arrive. For Nintendo fans, though, it's getting very real, as we enter the final week before Nintendo Switch launches. It's getting so close, and in the past week we had our hardware and The...
Poll Does Nintendo Switch Need Streaming Apps and a Web Browser, Or Is It All About Games?
Noflix
The Nintendo Switch is just weeks away, and Nintendo is still keeping us waiting on some details such as the eShop, the Virtual Console (if it'll even be there at launch) and pinning down a finalised launch day line-up. The company is likely planning a Direct, information drop or new feature-driven videos to answer some questions prior to 3rd...

Poll What Are Your Nintendo Switch Pre-Order and Launch Day Plans?
Are you going beyond Breath of the Wild?
Since the big Nintendo Switch Presentation we've run a couple of polls to gauge your views and thoughts on the system, with a mixed outlook in our most recent set of questions. Over the past week, though, we've been publishing some guides for those that have decided they're picking up a Nintendo Switch on day...
Poll A Week On, How Do You Feel About the Nintendo Switch?
Good, bad, numb to it all?
Well, it's been a little over a week since Tatsumi Kimishima took to the stage in Tokyo and kicked off a weekend of reveals, events and live streams to showcase the Nintendo Switch. Early pre-orders have been made, games have been confirmed, and opinions have been shared. Some of you may recall that we ran a poll shortly...
Poll What Did You Think of the Nintendo Switch Presentation?
Is the hype real?
It's now been a few hours since Nintendo wrapped up its Nintendo Switch Presentation, during which it revealed a whole range of launch details. We learnt more about what the system can do, saw a lot of games, and discovered how much it'll cost. Our Nintendo Switch section has all the news articles, while you can watch the...
Poll One Week to Go - How Are Your Nintendo Switch Presentation Hype Levels?
Let's get it goin'
2017 is still barely underway but, from a Nintendo fan's perspective, the coming week is surely one of the most anticipated in quite some time. After last year's teaser video, the big N is finally prepared to show off its next generation of hardware in the Nintendo Switch Presentation. It's now less than a week away, and the...
Poll Are You Optimistic for Nintendo's 2017?
There's a lot on the horizon
2017 is a vital year for Nintendo; we think that's beyond dispute. 2016 did have highlights and moments of significant interest for the company, particularly in mobile and with notable Pokémon releases across smart devices and 3DS, but it'll also be remembered as a year in which Nintendo went into a bit of a holding...
December2016
Poll How Important is the Virtual Console, and GameCube, for the Nintendo Switch?
If the rumours are true...
As part of the big January unveiling, or perhaps not long after, we'd expect the eShop (or new equivalent) to get a big push for the Nintendo Switch. We already know of multiple 'Nindie' developers that are actively working on projects, and considering the growth in importance of downloads it's inevitable that the new...
Poll The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Share Your Thoughts on the Latest Footage
Has it left you breathless?
The Game Awards are done for another year, once again doing a solid job of showing and teasing major games, while throwing in some some unpredictable moments. For example in one performance rap duo Run the Jewels seemed to utter the line "I will punch a baby bear", which is a novel way to get some free press from a PETA...

Poll The Wii U is Four Years Old, But What Is Its Legacy?
The GamePad! HD Nintendo games! Rubbish file management!
On 18th November 2012, the Wii U was launched in North America. There was a high profile midnight launch attended by Reggie Fils-Aime to give it positive press, and it was Nintendo's jump into HD gaming, with a GamePad-led concept at the core of the messaging. The system had a relatively...
Poll Retro Delights and Stock Shortages - What Are Your Thoughts on the NES Mini Launch?
Old games, old fun, old problems
The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition (Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe) arrived on 11th November, and it's certainly one of Nintendo's hottest releases of the year. It may seem strange that a micro-console loaded up with 30 NES games can be described that way, but it's...
Poll Are You Excited About the Mini NES?
Perhaps hype is bigger than the diminutive system
It's been easy to get distracted in recent times, but one of Nintendo's most important Holiday releases is around the corner. We're not talking about Pokémon Sun and Moon, that's still to come, but rather the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition (Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo...

Feature 20 Wii U and 3DS Games Perfect for Halloween
Ideal for a spooky time
It's Halloween again, a holiday that's big business and plenty of fun if you like sweets / candy, dressing up or a mixture of both. For some, of course, this is more than a single night of trick or treating, but a full-blown Holiday (with a capital H) to celebrate and enjoy. With that in mind, we thought we'd jump in with our...
Poll Nintendo Switch Delivers Single Screen Gaming - Will You Miss the Dual Screen Concept?
DS, 3DS and Wii U kept our eyes busy
Ever since Reggie Fils-Aime plucked a DS out of his jacket pocket at E3 2004, Nintendo has focused on dual screen gaming. The DS was the best selling portable system of all time, so inevitably the same broad design was carried across to the 3DS. The WIi U was the grand experiment in bringing dual screen gaming to...
Poll What Do You Think of the Nintendo Switch?
Are you feeling joy, conned, or just loving the Joy-Con controllers?
It's been a full-on day of excitement in the world of Nintendo. The 'NX' and lots of speculation made way for the Nintendo Switch, lots of clarity and a little leftover speculation. Nintendo only released a three minute video and a relatively limited press release, but despite that...
Poll Exceptional Graphics or 60fps, Which is More Important for the NX Generation?
When 'both' isn't the easy option
The more things change, the more they seem the same. In the 16-bit era Nintendo and SEGA squabbled over the number of colours their systems supported, featured games that enhanced performance with additional chips in the cartridges, and SEGA even tried to claim that Blast Processing was a real thing. The console...
Poll Six Months On - How Do You Feel About My Nintendo?
Discounts, HOME Themes, more discounts and HOME Themes...
It was in late March, a few days more than six months ago, that the My Nintendo program launched as part of the 'Nintendo Account' overhaul. The Nintendo Account seems very likely to be the all-encompassing ID for Nintendo users in the future. With social media login options and its role in...
September2016
Poll What Are Your Most Anticipated Wii U and 3DS Games For the Rest of 2016?
Have your say for our updated 'Biggest Games' list
It's that time, once again, for our quarterly 'Biggest Games' list for Wii U and 3DS. As some of you may recall we ditched the idea of having separate Wii U and 3DS lists for our Summer Edition, mainly because the Wii U didn't have enough high profile games. It was a pragmatic decision, yes, but we...
Poll The GameCube is 15 Years Old - Pick Your Favourite Games
Can you handle the pressure?
The GameCube arrived in Japan on 14th September 2001 in Japan, meaning the handle-boasting wonder is 15 years old (even though it's 15th September in Japan as we publish this, thanks to time zones). To date it holds the dubious honour of being Nintendo's lowest-selling home console, though Wii U looks likely to take that...
Sure, we'll ask about Pokémon GO on Apple Watch, too
As another indication - not that it was needed - that the Nintendo name still has broad appeal and brand power, Apple gave up an early chunk of its 'Special Event' to introduce Shigeru Miyamoto and Bill Trinen - they unveiled Super Mario Run. A left-to-right runner in which you tap to make the...
Poll Did the 3DS Nintendo Direct Boost Your Hype for the Portable's Line-Up?
From Wii U game ports to all-new reveals
It was nearly six months between Nintendo Directs, with E3 and a smattering of reveals and extended commercials in between (and some Japan-only Directs). It had ben quite a wait, though it seemed that Nintendo did a pretty good job with its 3DS Nintendo Direct on 1st September, albeit with some caveats. As...
Poll What Are Your Favourite Mini NES Games?
30 for the 30th Anniversary in Europe
Here's a fun fact that fell under the radar on a rather busy day - the NES turned 30 in Europe on 1st September. It celebrated the equivalent North American anniversary nearly a year ago, but the system took a while to arrive in Europe and, actually, struggled to gain much of a foothold - initially at least - in...
August2016
Poll What Are Your Favourite Super NES Games?
A tough call...
As you've likely been aware, the Super NES recently turned 25 in North America. It's another nice landmark for the iconic system, and one that's prompted us to get all misty-eyed and reminisce on our youth. That aside, it's a chance to celebrate the best of the SNES era, so with that in mind we thought it'd be nice to have an...
Poll How Excited Are You About Pokémon Sun and Moon?
We know quite a lot about the games now...
Pokémon Sun and Moon, combined together, are the main event for 3DS this year. The hype and buzz around Pokémon GO hasn't exactly harmed awareness of the upcoming portable titles, and The Pokémon Company has also been upping its game with a number of major reveals. In recent times it's unveiled new...
Poll Which Nintendo NX Games Do You Want to See in the Launch Window?
Mario? Mario Kart? Metroid? Something that doesn't start with M?
Following last week's focus on the apparent form factor of the Nintendo NX, this week MCV spoke to sources to try and get the lowdown on the system's planned launch window games. Pokémon and Mario were mentioned as launch window titles, along with

Poll The Nintendo NX - Where Do You Stand on the Future of Nintendo?
A new approach for a new generation
It's been an interesting week for those that follow Nintendo closely. It began with Eurogamer publishing a variety of details around the Nintendo NX that were compiled from multiple sources. We spoke to Eurogamer's team and multiple sources of our own and, it seems, the details revealed are indeed largely...
Poll Will You Still Be Playing Pokémon GO at the End of 2016?
Will the evolution of a revolution be enough?
It's quite clear that Pokémon GO has been one of the most widespread and revolutionary concepts with which Nintendo has ever been associated, albeit the app is very much the work of developer Niantic. Sure, the Nintendo Wii, DS, Game Boy and original NES are also of great mention, but the mainstream...
Poll How Much Do Early Access and Free Downloads Affect Your Purchasing Choices?
Metroid Prime: Blast Ball is the latest to lure players in early
This week brought a rather interesting surprise from Nintendo, as it released Metroid Prime: Blast Ball as a free download. In Europe it's effectively a gift, seemingly a standalone download that takes the mini-game / training from Metroid Prime: Federation Force and hands it over well...
Poll What Other 'Classic Edition' Nintendo Systems Do You Want to be Released?
Dreaming of the good old days, but miniaturised
The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition (called Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe) has caused quite a stir since its announcement earlier this week - a budget Nintendo retro unit at $59.99 with 30 pre-loaded games is always likely to go down well. Its...
