Shaken without stirring. So here we are people. It’s the last week of January and we have our first big Nintendo release of the year. Consider 2023 well and truly underway! This week at Nintendo Life we were very excited about eventual edition of GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo Switch Online N64 library and suggested ...
Jim Norman, staff writer This week I started playing this niche game called Super Metroid (you may have heard of it) in the NSO SNES library. I was only supposed to play a few minutes, but here I am, a few days later, on the road against Ridley. I’ve never beaten a game before so ...
Picture: SEGA It’s 2023 and the lights are back on at the Nintendo Life Towers. While January can often be a bit of a sleepy month as the gaming industry wakes up from its Christmas slumber, we’re wide awake and eager to dive into what looks to be an interesting year for Nintendo. This week ...
Jim Norman, staff writer Could 2023 really be the year I played more new games and spent less time working through my backlog? Absolutely no way! This weekend I will be hosting a New Year’s party, so it will be light games. As far as I know, my friends have never played Wii U, so ...
Ollie Reynolds, staff writer It’s unlikely that I’ll be playing anything of major consequence over the Christmas period, but I did pick up recently Ghostwire: Tokyo on PS5, so I’ll probably jump into that whenever possible. It’s also almost guaranteed that the family will be participating in some Jackbox Party Pack festivities at some point; ...
Alana Hagues, staff writer Chained Echoes will be my game of choice for the coming weeks – I’ve only been here for a few hours, but it is really good. The action is fast-paced, and the combat has just enough twists to keep the otherwise old-fashioned turn-based combat system fresh. Honestly, nothing feels cozier and ...
Alana Hagues, Staff Writer I’ve been playing some more Signalis after trying it on Game Pass a few weeks ago, and I’m no longer a wimp about it! I’ve also got Ghost Song on the docket, and I’m a sucker for a Metroidvania, which means I’ll probably end up enjoying this one. Mario Kart 8 ...
Jim Norman, Staff Writer I would be lying if I said that Chill Season 2022 has “pulled me back” to Splatoon 3, because the fact of the matter is, I never left. Ok, that sounded slightly less intimidating in my head. What I mean to say is, it’s still a great game and the update ...
Jim Norman, Staff Writer It has taken me a long time to get round to playing this one, but this week I finally started Metroid Dread. Here’s my hot take so far: it’s a really good game. Will I be playing even more of it over this weekend? You betcha! In a completely different vein ...
Ollie Reynolds, Staff Writer I’ll be chipping away at Pokémon Scarlet this weekend for the most part. I’m not particularly very far yet; I’ve beaten two gym leaders, two titan Pokémon, and one Star Crew leader, despite sinking a fair few hours into the game already. I’m just having so much fun wandering around the ...
