It’s official! It’s been no secret that Sonic Origins is close to release, with a PlayStation Store listing revealing all sorts of interesting details within the last 24-hours. Now it’s official, and it’s arriving on Sonic’s 31st birthday — 23rd June. That’s on Switch eShop and pretty much every platform, and the trailer above highlights […]

Will arrive ‘Q2’. Souldiers is an upcoming Metroidvania that is certainly on our radar; yes, it’s a genre that’s got plenty of options on Switch, but a blend of stylish visuals and interesting mechanics (like character customisation) have us intrigued. We don’t have long to wait as it arrives on the eShop on 19th May, […]

Thanks, Japan! As you can imagine, we’re going a little bit wild for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 at the moment. Look, the game has been brought forward by around two months, and the prospect of spending some lazy summer days saving the world in what we expect to be an extremely long RPG sounds like a […]

Let’s meet some new characters, too. Unless you live under a piece of Mechon rubble, you’ll know that Xenoblade Chronicles 3 got a brand new trailer yesterday out of nowhere. But, even more exciting than that, the game is coming a lot sooner than we thought it would be — 29th July! Pre-orders are already […]

Available for order now. The classic 1993 NES beat-em-up Battletoads & Double Dragon is getting a fancy new re-release courtesy of Retro-Bit Publishing. The Rare-developed crossover launched on NES before later making its way to the SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy. Retro-Bits collector’s edition will include an individually-numbered deluxe hardcover box that is scaled to […]

We want Gowngoat armour, though. It’s still a while away, but a few of us in Nintendo Life Towers™ are counting the days until Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, the ‘massive expansion’ to a game that’s already a stand-out on Switch. The Monster Hunter marketing campaign is in full swing, too, regularly revealing snippets of information […]

It won’t give you a 1-UP, though. Coca-Cola Japan has released a limited bottle design to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the grand opening of Super Nintendo World. The theme park opened in Osaka, Japan on March 18th, 2021 after a relatively short delay thanks to the reintroduction of COVID-19 restrictions in the city. Universal […]

Arrives later this year. The Switch isn’t exactly short of shoot ’em ups, making it the go-to system for blasting stuff in fantastical environments. You can never have too many shmups, though, and another is on the way that’s aiming to shake things up with a twist of its own – P.3. It draws inspiration […]

New modes, missions, and animations included. After nearly a full year of the silent treatment, details on Sonic Origins is suddenly exploding, though not from SEGA itself. The game was recently rated in South Korea, then again in Australia. Key art for the game was also discovered via the PSN Store. Thanks to our friends […]

Sonic and Animal Crossing too. We hear you — it’s April. Why are we talking about the Holiday season now? Honestly, some days, it still feels cold enough to be the winter season. Some people also get planning for the season very early. And the Holidays fill most people with joy, right? Well, we’re bringing […]
