Review Nintendo Switch Sports Resort (Switch 2) - A Winning Return To Wuhu
Woohoo Island
I awake, fist contorted into the shape of a Joy-Con 2, with a sharp pain in my right shoulder from a night of strenuous Table Tennis. There must be a new Nintendo Sports game out. Like everyone else in the world, I poured days into Wii Sports back in 2006, and spent an ungodly amount of time taking to the skies of Wuhu Island in its...
Review Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave (Switch 2) - Dense, Delightful Strategy Overstuffed With Heroes
Da Mina's Touch
Let's see if this setup rings any bells. The world is on the brink of collapse at the hands of a demon king and his armies of underworld minions. To save it, a hero of legend must recruit four Divine Beasts Flame Lords to strengthen their attack and bring the fight to the big bad, all while navigating an enemy-filled fantasy land and...
Review Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube) - Not What We Expected, But It Still Shines
Water, water everywhere, so let's all have a drink!
This retro review was originally published in April 2010. We're republishing it to mark the game's arrival in the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack GameCube library. Mario made his 3D platforming debut on the N64 way back in 1996 in one of the greatest and most influential pieces of gaming...
Mini Review Dragon Hopper (Virtual Boy) - A Zelda-Like With Height, Heart, And A Spring In Its Step
Worth hopping into
Editor's note: Due to the low resolution and peculiarities of how screengrabs display for Virtual Boy games on NSO, all the screens here are Nintendo press shots. When Nintendo pulled the plug on 1995’s Virtual Boy after roughly a year on the market, Dragon Hopper was one of its immediate casualties. Developed by Intelligent...
Lovely jubbly Bubbly
It's safe to say that since its release, Pokopia has taken over my life to a certain degree. I've explored the skies, made pals with my favourite Pokémon, and even made a certain coastal town a little less bleak. I've even caused chaos and instated town politics with my friend on our own Cloud Island with very little building...
Mini Review Zero Racers (Virtual Boy) – Is This F-Zero Spin-Off The VB's Long-Lost Killer App?
From zero to hero
Editor's note: Due to the low resolution and peculiarities of how screengrabs display for Virtual Boy games on NSO, all the screens here are Nintendo press shots. I can honestly say that Zero Racers is the most fun I have ever had in a Virtual Boy headset. In fact, the more I play it, the more it feels like it could have been a...

UK Charts Switch Sports Resort And Call Of Duty Are Fast Off The Start Line
Modern Thumb Warfare
We made it to the final week of October, and the new releases show no sign of slowing down.

Sports...
Feature 15 Years Ago, 'Return To Dream Land' Ushered In Kirby's Golden Era
Kirban legend
Kirby has always been one of Nintendo's more consistently successful franchises. While the little pink puffball never had anything remotely resembling a 'dark era' like many other Nintendo series, there was a time around the turn of the century where Kirby began to spin his wheelies a bit. After the 2000 release of Kirby 64: The...

Opinion I May Never Play The Original Ocarina Of Time Again
A thing isn't beautiful because it lasts
A classic xkcd webcomic came to mind while I watched last week’s Zelda Direct live. In the one-panel comic, two people from the far future (as evidenced by their Jetsons-style bubble ship) say their goodbyes. Here’s the interaction: “Bye!” “May the Force be with you!” “Huh?” “It’s just...

We're all mature enough that we understand the concept of time.
