Princess Peach: Showtime!
A welcome re-introduction to Peach’s own adventures with excites us for the future but falls a little flat this time around. I am super happy that Peach finally has her own game. Sure, there have been some solo outings in the past – but with Mario, Luigi, DK, Yoshi...
Splatoon 3: Side Order
Splatoon's fresh take on the roguelite genre is interesting in principle but doesn't quite hit the right balance between grind and enjoyment. I really loved Splatoon 3. In fact, it was our 2022 Game of The Year. Sure, it wasn't a huge departure from either of its...
Mario vs. Donkey Kong Remake
A review of the the Mario Vs. Donkey Kong remake on the Nintendo Switch.
Super Mario RPG Remake
A quick written review of the remake of the Super Mario RPG on the Switch.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
A simply joyous rejuvenation of Mario 2D platforming that had us smiling from start to finish. A true delight. It's been a while since we got a brand-new entry into the Mario 2D side-scroller franchise. Super Mario Maker (and its sequel) were great in their own...
Sonic Superstars
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK18JdBKFQA Superstars celebrates and modernises the look and feel of the original Sonic games. Tight, responsive controls and a few excellent levels/boss fights are real highlights. Unfortunately, a baffling use of Chaos Emerald...
Detective Pikachu Returns
An in-depth review of Detective Pikachu Returns available on the Nintendo Switch. A okay sequel that just isn’t the bolt of brilliance we’d hoped it would be.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet The Teal Mask DLC
The Teal Mask DLC is definitely a move in the right direction! It is such an improvement over the base game in terms of location, characters, story, and the design of Pokémon, not to mention the music. Sadly, however, the performance issues are worse and almost all...
Disney Illusion Island
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FnoHrzjT-s A tight, responsive platformer adorned by beautiful hand-drawn animations and enchanting music. Humourous writing and great voice performances spotlight the whole cast and a good selection of multiplayer options make it a...
Pikmin 4
Pikmin 4 is like a remastered greatest hits album from that talented indie rock band that everyone forgot about. It brings together everything that thevserieas has done well in the past and packages it up in a way that will appeal to a whole new audience while also...
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp
This blast from the past brings the joy of combat, but also shows just how light on story these games were compared to other big names in the genre. Reviewing a game that you enjoyed two decades ago can be rather tough. Advance Wars 1 was my first dip into the world...
The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Hello, my best Nintendo Gamers and Friends! I am going to break the news early and then you all will know that this is as unbiased as I can be. I have loved and supported Nintendo since I can remember. Nintendo franchises like Pokemon, Super Mario, Yoshi and of...
Super Mario Bros. Movie
The Super Mario Bros movie is the perfect blend of nostalgia and family-friendly fun. Fans of the games will find a huge number of callbacks and references to look for, while some stellar animation, amazing music and a big dose of wholesome humour means almost...
Pokémon Violet
While there is no question that Pokémon Violet suffers from disappointing visual and (occasionally) even game-crashing bugs, it also somehow manages to be the most engaging and refreshing take on the main series in years. I happily sunk many, many hours into our...
Sonic Frontiers
Sonic Frontiers' venture into an open world (especially on the Switch) is a really promising but occasionally flawed experience. While it's already a (mostly) enjoyable game, it is the obvious potential it shows for where the series could go in the future that has us...
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Sparks of Hope, while a little slow to start off, is the definition of a good sequel (keeping the good stuff while making some welcome changes to the old formula). By adding layers of strategy it is sure to keep fans of the genre engaged and by including a multitude...
Splatoon 3
Splatoon 3 improves on almost every aspect of the previous games in the series. And barring some connection issues and making finding modes/new areas oddly tough, Splatoon 3 is an outrageously fun game and easily in our running for 2022's best Nintendo game....
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak
All in all, Sunbreak is an excellent addition to the Monster Hunter franchise. We’re spoiled with new endemic life, new characters, additional fighting players, and, of course, monsters. Players will not be disappointed. With each new day, sunrise signals birth and a...
Kirby’s Dream Buffet
Kirby's surprise second entry on the Switch in 2022 is a fun multiplayer experience especially in short bursts - providing something for new players and those hoping for a little more strategy too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaFPk_6-uoM On today’s menu, we have...
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
If you are an RPG or JRPG fan, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is definitely a game to pick up for your Nintendo Switch. Take it slow and enjoy everything this excellent game has to offer. Nintendo often leads the industry with its levels of enchanting weirdness, and, over the...
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
FEWTH happily let's you spend more time with your friends in Fodlan, although some might miss the stately strategy being replaced with brutish hack and slash. Still, there is enough here to keep you collecting friends and going on picnics with them. I don’t think I...
Mario Strikers: Battle League
Despite a significant lack of single-player fun and some other small but frustrating missteps, Mario Strikers: Battle League provides a visually stunning, madcap competitive experience that has us hooked. For those out there that have been Nintendo fans for years,...
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Clearly made by and for fans of the series, The Skywalker Saga freshens up the LEGO formula just enough to provide an outstandingly enjoyable tour through the Star Wars stories, punctuated by some wonderful humour, familiar gameplay and an energetic pace. Like so many...
Kirby and the Forgotten Land
A joyful, imaginative platformer from Hal Labs that simultaneously redefines the Kirby series while still providing a bright, welcoming adventure for players of all ages and skill levels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPjtZkuo3K8 Nintendo's relationship with Hal...
Pokémon Legends: Arceus
The newest and thankfully best entry to the Pokémon franchise on the Nintendo Switch. This offshoot from the main series refreshes a tried and true formula for the better and as Pokémon fans we can only hope for more like this from Nintendo and Game Freak. The Pokémon...
Metroid Dread
Despite some smaller issues around its slightly oppressive tone and a few ‘maybe a little too classic’ load screens, Dread’s visceral visuals, engaging gameplay and a satisfying narrative ultimately deliver a finale worthy of the famed space bounty hunter and will likely garner a host of new fans.
Switch OLED
It's not the Switch Pro upgrade that you may have hoped for. However, a surprisingly striking screen and premium build quality make this simply the best version of an already fantastic console and a luxury piece of tech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao9C6SA72_M It...
WarioWare: Get It Together!
WarioWare’s sometimes boorish style and frenetic speed may put some off, at least initially. However, a chaotically fun range of microgames, a decent amount of content and the eventually rather addictive pace make it a peculiar multiplayer party you ultimately have a lot of fun at.
