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.
WarioWare: Move It!
Some childishly fun microgames with great use of the Joy-Con motion controls make for a good experience with a friend, however, a strange story premise, Wario's trademark 'humour' and short playtime means it's not much more than a flimsy party trick. WarioWare games...
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...

A review of Lego 2K Drive as played on the Nintendo Switch OLED. This review focuses on the offline, single-player content of the wacky open-world Kart racer.
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...
Fire Emblem Engage
Fire Emblem Engage pays homage to a wide roster of returning characters and the refreshed take on the tactical turn-based battle system makes it the best in the series, however, a few missteps with character backstories leaves us feeling a little less Engaged than...
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...
Sonic Origins
Other than having some content locked behind frustrating pay/pre-order walls, this is an almost perfect nostalgic collection. If you love the original Sonic games, Origins is simply one of the best ways to revisit them! Growing up I was (as you've probably...
Nintendo Switch Sports
While never quite hitting the heights of it's Wii predecessors, Switch Sports gets us moving and reminds has why swinging controllers around, particulary in multiplayer settings, is still great fun! It's easy to forget what an absolutely huge deal Wii Sports (and the...
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...
