We have just watched the Direct for the Super Mario Bros. Movie and although it was super short, it did feature Mr Miyamoto and Chris Melandri as well as a few words from Chris Pratt and Jack Black. However, best of all it also gave us our first trailer for the movie....

Earlier today Nintendo treated us to another jam-packed video game presentation. While it seemed to show off a few more farming sims than we knew we needed and there were some notable omissions of things we were hoping to see (Mario movie trailer, Metroid Trilogy...

Back in August, I wrote a piece for NAG.co.za where I asked: "So, just how big is Splatoon for Nintendo?" - and basically concluded by saying that it's really become one of 'Nintendo's tentpole franchises – up there with the likes of Mario and Zelda'. Now, if you're...

As we hurtle towards that last third of 2022 - it's been a bit of an up-and-down year for games. Sure, we've had some monster hits like Elden Ring and Forbidden West on other platforms. However, if you look at it objectively it's hard to argue that the Switch hasn't...

Yesterday (10 August), the Splatoon 3 Direct happened and it covered and revealed a lot! But never fear - here's a quick bulleted recap of all the news: 1. Stages: Turf War 4v4 is back - new moves Squid Surge (jump up walls in a single move), Squid Roll (jump out of...

  Since Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a massive game, and we were happily given it at launch to review, I thought it best to give my first impressions now, about 15 hours into the main story, with more updates and a final review to follow.  The fact that a game like...

Back in 2018, I had the opportunity to review both the Robot Kit and then later the Toy-Con 03 Vehicle Kit for another local site (those reviews still live somewhere on the world wide web if you want to search them out). I had a blast with both kits, they were...

I think this week was a pretty significant week for Nintendo. Not only because we got two (rather) big presentations that were all about the Switch, but more importantly because neither showcase had anything to do with Nintendo’s own first-party games. Now, don’t get...

After weeks of speculation, rumours and predictions – yesterday Nintendo presented their (somewhat unexpected) June Direct. Of course, we all assumed it was on its way. However, the fact that the Direct only focused on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was rather surprising....

It's probably quite clear by now, but in case I somehow haven't mentioned it enough, I'm a big Mario fan. Playing the original Super Mario Bros. is not only one of earliest memories (I'm one of those people that isn't great at remembering their childhoods in great...

Yes, it's a mobile game but, just hear me out... As you probably know I am a huge Mario Kart fan. They've been (by far) my most played games on the 3DS, Wii U and the Switch. So, when the new DLC was announced back in February - I can't explain how excited I was....

Last week Friday (18 March) we got our first taste of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC - with Wave 1's release. The first wave included two new cups (Golden Dash & Lucky cat) featuring 8 new tracks. If you want to see what the new tracks look like and get our early...

Hello Nintendo fans! Thank you once again for visiting our site for all things Nintendo. We know we're relatively new around here and so you may be wondering how our reviews work. And so we thought we'd share our point of view on this sometimes quite controversial...

With the launch of the seemingly quite impressive Steam Deck, as well as an Nvidia leak that supposedly includes an "NVN2" folder (NVN being the graphics API specifically made for the original Switch), talk of the Switch 2 (or Super Switch, Switch Pro, New Switch XL...
