  • Poll Nintendo Switch Lite Is Out Today, Are You Getting One?

    Yes? No? Come in and vote...

    It's an incredibly busy (and expensive) day for Nintendo fans, with a number of great games and even a brand new console all being released on the same day. Yes, the Switch Lite is finally here, and we want to know just how popular it is right now on day one. A smaller, cheaper version of the standard Nintendo Switch,...

  • Poll Box Art Brawl #8 - Metal Gear

    Not yet on Solids

    Welcome to the eighth round of Box Art Brawl, the series where we throw a trio of regional retro box arts into a weapon-filled pit to see which one scrambles out victorious, though covered in blood and spittle. This chap looks familiar... Last time we saw three Star Foxes dogfighting over Corneria and a week later we can confirm...

  • 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. We say that because the last few months have been quite the rollercoaster for the game and developer Marvelous Entertainment. Back in February, a demo was released with the...

  • Talking Point Ring Fit Adventure Is A Thing, But Is It Your Sort Of Thing?

    Belly's gonna get ya?

    Well, there you go. Today Nintendo pulled back the curtain on the mysterious ring controller and software it teased last week unveiling Ring Fit Adventure. The controller, imaginatively dubbed the Ring-Con, is used in conjunction with a pair of Joy-Con and the Leg-Strap to navigate through an RPG-style fitness adventure that...

  • Poll So, Which SNES Games Have You Been Playing On Nintendo Switch?

  • Poll How Would You Like To See Dreamcast Classics Arrive On Switch?

    Dreamcast turns 20 today in North America

    9/9/99. It'll be a very long time until we reach a cooler date to launch a console (or anything else for that matter). Yes, it was twenty years ago today that Sega's Dreamcast landed in North America on a date that ranks alongside Sonic 2sday and Mortal Monday in the annals of video game history. Although...

  • Poll Box Art Brawl #7 - Star Fox

    Barrel roll with the punches

    Oh, hello there! We were so involved with the freshly released Super NES games on Switch we almost forgot about the big bout. Of course it's time for Box Art Brawl, the weekly showdown where three regional retro boxes battle to find out which was the fairest of them all. Last week Mega Man 3 gave itself a sound...

  • Reminder Rate Your Favourite GameCube Games

    The Dolphin turns 18 in September, and we need your help

    Update: Thanks to everyone who's rated their favourites so far. This is just a wee reminder if you missed this last week.

  • Poll Box Art Brawl #6 - Mega Man 3

    Blue on blue

    Ding ding! Round 6! Welcome once again to Box Art Brawl, the series where regional retro box art variations duke it out to discover which one rules the roost. Last week we saw Super Mario Kart race itself ragged until just one version took the chequered flag. The winner? Super Mario Kart, followed closely by Super Mario Kart, with poor...

  • Poll Astral Chain Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?

    Make your voice heard

    Today finally sees the release of Astral Chain, the latest Nintendo-exclusive game to arrive courtesy of PlatinumGames.

Perhaps you're even already...

  • Poll Have You Played The Dragon Quest XI S Demo On Nintendo Switch Yet?

    The Luminary rides again

    Now that another weekend of gaming has passed, we're curious to know if you got around to trying out the Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age demo on the Switch and whether or not it's convinced you to check out the full retail release when it arrives on 27th September. If you haven't played it, then what are you...

  • Poll Box Art Brawl #5 - Super Mario Kart

    Before the big blue shell

    Welcome to Round 5 of Box Art Brawl, where we take a gander at the box art of a certain retro game and crown one regional variant as champion. Last week the classic NES brawler River City Ransom duked it out with its counterparts until the Japanese version emerged bloody-nosed but victorious, beating down the North American...

  • 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. This holds true whether they were found in a book or a video game, and many of us as kids gleaned new vocabulary from instruction...

  • Poll Box Art Brawl #4 - River City Ransom / Street Gangs

    Vote for your favourite box art

    Welcome to the fourth round of Box Art Brawl, the series where a classic retro game takes on its doppelgängers from other territories to see which has the greatest cover art. Last week we saw GameCube titan Resident Evil 4 knock itself sideways as its moody European self won a very comfortable victory over its North...

  • Poll Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?

    Is Joy-Con drift just a blip on Nintendo’s score sheet?

    With Joy-Con drift making headlines again over the past month thanks to lawsuits filed in the US, it’s easy to see the phenomenon as a potential disaster for Nintendo. Many gamers have had absolutely no problems with Switch's detachable controllers, but a huge percentage have encountered...

  • Poll Box Art Brawl #3 - Resident Evil 4

    What'll it be, stranger?

    And we're back! Welcome to the third edition of Box Art Brawl, the series where we ask you lovely people to decide which lucky territory got the best box art of a certain retro classic. Last week we looked at Contra (or Probotector as it was known in Europe) and it was decided that the North American muscle-bound variant was...

  • Reminder Vote For Your Favourite Nintendo DS Games

  • Poll Box Art Brawl #2 - Contra / Probotector

    I Think Ur A Probotector

    Welcome back for round two of the series where we throw the regional box art variants of a particular retro game into a pit and see which one scrambles out victorious.

  • 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 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,...

    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.

    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.

  • 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...
