Nintendo has announced that there will be a Halloween Special Battle taking place in Super Mario Bros. 35. It begins on October 30th and will conclude on November 2nd. The official UK Super Mario Twitter account made an announcement tweet about the matter, so you can see it down below. Share this! Like this: Like

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) It goes without saying that the early months of the Switch saw the new console effectively being defined as a portable Breath of the Wild machine that you could also maybe play other games on if you really wanted to. Still, those who snooped around the eShop could find some

SEGA has announced on Twitter that “two all-new SEGA Double Packs are now available for Nintendo Switch in the US”. The first one is Sonic Mania + Team Sonic Racing, and the second one is Sonic Forces + Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD. The two packs are $39.99 each. SEGA’s tweet is down below.

Update: And the game has appeared for sale on the North American eShop! It would appear that the late November launch only applies outside that region — we’ll update this post should the situation change. It took a few years, but the return of Daniel LaRusso and his old rival Johnny Lawrence to screens via

Rumours of a more powerful revised version of the popular Nintendo Switch system have been circulating online for the last few years, but hopes are that they will announce one sometime early next year. A new report which has gathered steam from Economic Daily News suggests that Nintendo is looking to use a new mini-LED display

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Docked) Sometimes a game’s overambition can be to its detriment, and Supraland is a prime example of this. The game is a disappointing tale of clear purpose and great ideas that, unfortunately, does not create an enjoyable product. While it is impressive that the game was created by only two developers,

The UK‘s GfK Top 10 physical charts have been released, and it was another good one for EA’s FIFA ’21. Hot on the game’s heels, however, are 5 Nintendo Switch games. This includes Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which maintained its #2 spot, and the Switch version of Minecraft. The full chart data is down below.

Switch might be a natural home to platformers but outside of 2018’s excellent Runner3, and the less-excellent Bubsy: Paws On Fire!, we’ve seen little of the runner sub-genre. Targeting the dog lovers, Double Pug Switch from The Polygon Loft seeks to fill that niche. Bringing us a challenging platformer, you play as Otis, adorable pug

Every year at Christmas, my family has a tradition. After hoovering up every scrap of food that’s left after the festivities, we wrap up warm and take a trip to the local park to race our RC Mario Kart toys. It’s mostly to cater for the younger members of the family and to get everyone

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Docked) Let’s forget the warm-up and jump straight to the first serve, shall we? Tennis World Tour 2 demands a level of precision from its players that it simply isn’t capable of facilitating. This is a sombre and serious tennis sim that bases its take on the sport around the perfect

Nintendo Minute‘s latest episode just released, and it features the roster of Hades characters. Kit and Krysta said in the video description that “we’re are so excited today to have special guest Greg Kasavin, Creative Director of Hades join us today for the first of a four part series ranking Hades characters! The game is

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Docked) We don’t know about you, but Halloween is one of our favourite times of the year. Autumn is in full force, supermarkets are littered with skeletons and pumpkins, and it’s possibly the only time of year where it’s acceptable to watch The Exorcist on repeat while gorging on Toblerone (although

The Crown Tundra DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield is now available to play, and Nintendo has now released an update for the game. Once you update, your game should be at version 1.3.0. As previously stated, this adds The Crown Tundra DLC content to the game. There are currently no patch notes yet, but

Next year will be the fifteenth anniversary of the humble Nintendo Wii, the little motion-controlled console which broke away from the competition and started a revolution. It was a brilliantly compact piece of hardware (the size of three DVD boxes, remember?) which hosted a huge library of fantastic titles — games of all varieties from

As promised, Nintendo has released a new update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, bringing the game to version 9.0.1. There’s not much to this update, its main focus is on fixing glitches involving the Steve from Minecraft character, as well as adjusting a victory screen that had been unintentionally suggestive. The full patch notes are

The Switch’s facility with local couch co-op games is one of the key selling points of the console. The ability to crack (read: carefully slide) off the Joy-Con and get involved in some same-screen multiplayer mayhem is super convenient, although the introduction in September 2019 of Switch Lite — the portable-only console variant which doesn’t

Nintendo has announced that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is being updated to version 9.0.1 tomorrow. Although we don’t have the patch notes at this time, The Nintendo Versus Twitter account says that it will “include fighter adjustments”. You can see the Nintendo Versus tweet for yourself down below. A new Ver. 9.0.1 of Super #SmashBrosUltimate

As great as the Wii U was (and there’s a good reason why the majority of its library has reappeared on its successor), it was never a ‘cool’ console. Nintendo’s mixed messaging and marketing did little to endear it to anybody who wasn’t a total devotee to all things Mario — something the company remedied

You can’t catch spooky, scary skeletons in a Pokeball, but if you’re looking to celebrate Halloween, then Niantic has something planned for you. Pokemon GO will have a Halloween 2020 event that will take last October 23rd to November 3rd. More Ghost-type Pokemon will appear, and you’ll earn double the candy from catching and transferring

Koei Tecmo’s Fairy Tail RPG has recently received a new update bringing the game based on the manga and anime franchise to Version 1.06. The update brings with it a new Gallery feature called The Story So Far. The team says that this new feature allows newcomers to understand the events that took place before

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Docked) The Survivalists is not the most enticing title that Team17 could have gone with for this one. Yes, it sets the stage for this follow-up to The Escapists in keeping with its traditional nomenclature, but they really should have front-loaded the monkey butlers, and called the game – for example

Captured on Nintendo Switch (Docked) If you’re a fan of great big robots mercilessly smashing each other’s massive metal heads in – and let’s face it, who isn’t? – then RocketPunch Games’ superbly stylish 2D side-scroller Hardcore Mecha would like a very loud word. This is an absurdly overwrought anime adventure spread across a solid

The latest issue of Famitsu contains an interview with Good-Feel president Etsunobu Ebisu, which has been translated by Nintendo Life. Good-Feel is the studio behind Yoshi’s Crafted World. According to Ebisu, the studio is expanding by creating an office in Osaka. This office will be where they will be developing an “action” game that will

© Nintendo Life We asked Nintendo Life readers to rate their favourite N64 games, and it’s now time to reveal the results! The Nintendo 64 is a console which tends to divide gamers. Launching back in 1996 (or 1997 in PAL regions) as the gaming industry’s bread-and-butter switched from sprites to polygons, the console represents

Bandai Namco has confirmed what we all expected and that is that the highly anticipated Digimon Survive has been delayed until next year. The company posted a message to fans on Twitter stating that the events of 2020 have impacted development of the game. However, they did say that they will share more updates on

Torchlight III arrives on Switch on 22nd October, just a week and change after its full launch on consoles and PC (it spent several months this year in Early Access on PC). This second sequel to the beloved original from Runic Games switched form during development from a free-to-play title to a more traditional-style action-RPG

There have been many pictures of Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan, mainly the rides. However, did you know that there is also going to be a Mario café and store at the park? Super Nintendo World’s rides will remain closed to the public until 2021, but it has been decided that, for now,

While the Atari that arcade gaming fans knew and loved in the ’80s has long gone, the name continues to find itself attached to all sorts of fancy new projects, including the ‘Atari Hotels’ venture which we first spoke about earlier this year. In a new press release, innovation and strategy agency GSD Group has

As promised, Nintendo has released a big update to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, bringing the game to version 9.0.0. This is the update that adds Steve from Minecraft to the roster as a DLC Fighter, as well as a Minecraft stage, some music, and even some Mii costumes. The full list of changes are down
