Posted: 18 Mar 2022 07:30 AM PDT

Renovation and Gremlin titles galore!

We've been keeping a keen eye on the Evercade project ever since it was announced, and continue to be impressed with its expanding range of physical carts showcasing many previously hard-to-obtain retro titles.

The two latest carts cover the work of North American publisher Renovation and UK studio Gremlin Graphics. Like previous offerings, these packs include multiple games and represent excellent value for money – perhaps more than is immediately apparent, in fact.

Posted: 18 Mar 2022 06:30 AM PDT

Due for release on April 26th.

Triangle Strategy Has Sold 800,000 Copies In Just Two Weeks

Posted: 18 Mar 2022 06:00 AM PDT

A tactical victory.

Triangle Strategy has been quietly doing the rounds here at Nintendo Life, impressing us with its gorgeous visuals and in-depth tactical combat. And it seems like many people around the world agree with our review that it's pretty darn brilliant. You should read it in case you're still thinking about picking it up.

Producer Tomoya Asano has reported that Square Enix's latest (triangle) strategy RPG has sold 800,000 copies worldwide, and for a genre that (outside of Nintendo's Fire Emblem) doesn't seem to be as big as it once was, that's pretty impressive. The game only came out two weeks ago, too.

Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 1 - A 'Safe' Start To The 48-Track DLC Pack

Posted: 18 Mar 2022 05:00 AM PDT

The Tour begins.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the most popular game on Switch, the very definition of an 'evergreen' title. Aside from the Battle Mode and a few minor changes, however, devoted fans have been playing the same content since the Wii U original with its DLC content, a scenario that finally changes with the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe-exclusive Booster Course Pass.

Wave 1 has landed and generated plenty of excitement, and there's certainly a thrill in booting the game up and being presented with two new Cups to enjoy — Golden Dash Cup and Lucky Cat Cup. The mix of courses reminds us that this is the equivalent of the 'bottom row' of the original line-up, with a range of retro and — for the first time — Mario Kart Tour tracks included in the eight new offerings. It's a solid initial selection though, especially as this is the first batch and therefore presumably the 'easier' Cups in what will become a whopping 48-track package.

Posted: 18 Mar 2022 03:00 AM PDT

'TailsTube' will be more wholesome than it sounds.

SEGA has announced that Sonic the Hedgehog's Tails is set to become a Vtuber (that's 'virtual YouTuber', granddad) with a new series called 'TailsTube' starting next week.

The series will be "fun and informative" and will likely focus on the history of the Sonic franchise, characters, and specific games. It's unlikely any major announcements will be made through the series, but we've seen stranger things!
