| Feature: Best Zelda Games Of All Time Posted: 21 Feb 2021 11:30 AM PST All the Zelda games ranked. The Legend of Zelda series turns 35 today, so we thought you might like to read our rundown of the best games in this iconic franchise. What are the best Zelda games? Following several decades of adventures across Nintendo consoles, ranking The Legend of Zelda series is one heck of an undertaking. Bar a couple of exceptions, each entry is pretty much a classic, and even the 'lesser' ones are really rather good. Many remain fixed as among the very best games on the consoles that parented them, so assembling them in order is no small task. Read the full article on nintendolife.com  |
| Review: Thomas Was Alone - An Ageing Indie Hit That Still Has Something To Say Posted: 21 Feb 2021 11:00 AM PST Be there or be one of several different rectangles. More than 10 years after its inception as a Flash game, Thomas Was Alone is now so much more than the puzzley, story-driven platformer it appears to be. It is an artefact of an interesting time in the progress of indie games; a time when lo-fi, hi-concept darlings made Twitter swoon week-to-week. Thomas Was Alone was one of those darlings, and the Switch release prompts a welcome retrospective on a game that has held up remarkably well as a thing to play, and equally well as an idea to contemplate. Thomas Was Alone was created by British developer Mike Bithell and released at a time when indie gaming was just about breaking into the mainstream in a big way. Mobile internet and social media were in full swing, providing the conditions for breakout hits to overrun the gaming conversation, and consoles' online stores brought wider, mainstream distribution within reach of the smallest developers. By 2013, Thomas Was Alone and its DLC were on both PS Vita and PlayStation 3 – yes, in those days you needed two consoles! Read the full article on nintendolife.com  |
| Feature: 8 NES Games That Were Better On Famicom Disk System Posted: 21 Feb 2021 09:00 AM PST Saves + Synth > Passwords. The Famicom Disk System (or the Family Computer Disk System to give its full title) released in Japan — and Japan only — on 21st February 1986. This Famicom add-on came with a wave of new games on bespoke Nintendo-branded floppy discs which had several advantages over cartridges at the time, plus one or two drawbacks. Load times from discs were an issue (then as now), and you're far more likely to come across a non-functioning FDS disc these days than you are a Famicom cartridge. As you can see, Nintendo added some (easily circumvented) copy protection via an indented 'I' and 'N' in the logo on its disks. Also, note FDS mascot Diskun on the left.

| Review: Haven - It Takes Two To Fully Enjoy This Space-Age Love Story Posted: 21 Feb 2021 07:00 AM PST Huggin' and a-kissin', dancin' and a-lovin'. Although it's not about the pandemic (and it's been in development for much longer than we've all been trapped inside), Haven is a game that came at exactly the right time, because its message is all about two lovers, alone together for the foreseeable future. Having escaped the Aviary – a futuristic colony in which the "u" in utopia has fallen off to reveal that it was a dystopia all along – Yu and Kay live alone together on Source, an archipelago of space-islands connected by magical electricity bridges. That magical electricity is called Flow, and it dominates the game as both a source of energy and a method of movement. Yu and Kay can fly, as long as they have enough Flow in their batteries, and they can follow long, winding Flow Threads to reach new areas and collect more Flow. Most of the space-islands they travel to are corrupted by the mysterious pink goo that they call "Rust", and in Super Mario Sunshine-style, they can clean it up by flying over it (again, as long as they have Flow in their batteries), collecting Rust as they go for crafting purposes.

| Feature: The Legend Of Zelda Is The Robinson Crusoe Of Video Games Posted: 21 Feb 2021 05:00 AM PST We start our 35th anniversary feature series at the beginning... and the end? To celebrate the 35th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, we're running a series of features looking at a specific aspect — a theme, character, mechanic, location, memory or something else entirely — from each of the mainline Zelda games. Today, Alan looks back at the game which laid the groundwork not just for the series, but a whole new style of video game thirty-five years ago today... Here's some free advice: don't ever get caught in the mired mixed-medium comparison game. Read the full article on nintendolife.com  |
| Two Of Capcom's Legendary Street Fighters Drop Into Fortnite Posted: 20 Feb 2021 11:05 PM PST Available now. We've seen Ryu and his buddies from the Street Fighter series in plenty of fighting games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the SNK titles over the years, but this latest crossover is slightly different. Instead of another fighting game, this time he'll be transported into the world of Fortnite alongside Chun-Li. To celebrate this collab, Epic has released a special trailer showing the character Jonsey entering the universe of Street Fighter and dropping the pair of video game veterans into the battleground.
