Feature: 6 Things We Pokémon Vets Want To See In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet

Posted: 03 Apr 2022 08:00 AM PDT

Old Pokémon players yell at Game Freak to get off their lawn.

The year was 1998. The Spice Girls were blowing up radio stations, and Nintendo had every kid under the age of 15 glued to their Game Boys playing Pokémon Red and Blue. Many of those kids, including some of us here at Nintendo Life, are now in their thirties – and therefore not long for this world – and it feels like Pokémon hasn't aged with us older players. In fact, many Pokémon games have decreased in both difficulty and complexity release after release. It's gotten to the point where we Pokémon Veterans sincerely hope Game Freak adds or removes several features to both make the games more challenging and to streamline otherwise tedious mechanics.

We've put together a list of 6 things us ancient Pokémon players want to see almost as much as a bowl of Raisin Bran on a Sunday morning when Pokémon Scarlet and Violet usher in Generation IX later this year.

Posted: 03 Apr 2022 06:00 AM PDT

It's baaaaack!

Box Art Brawl..? You're sure you remember those words, and yet... It's been so long, you're not quite certain of what it all means or even who you are anymore.

Just kidding.

Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - March 2022

Posted: 03 Apr 2022 04:00 AM PDT

The best of the last month's eShop games!

This year is certainly moving along, and as we head into Spring (for you Northern Hemisphere readers) we can reflect on more excellent recent eShop titles. This month's voting in the team was intriguing, and we've been left with three excellent games.

These awards aim to celebrate the best of Nintendo's digital store, giving some love and attention to the games that could so easily be missed in the Switch's ever-growing download library. It's worth noting we've focus on download-only games and not expansions / DLC, so the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 1 was not included. It was also a month with quite a few notable retail games, but of course this is all about eShop games.

Smash-Style Brawler Rivals Of Aether Is Getting A Sequel With 3D Graphics, Targeting 2024

Posted: 02 Apr 2022 10:00 PM PDT

Dungeons of Aether also announced.

If you were a fan of Dan Fornace's Smash-like 2D fighter Rivals of Aether, you might want to keep an eye out for Aether Studios' next project Rivals 2. It's a 3D-style sequel to the original game and is currently targeting a 2024 release. At the moment, no systems have been confirmed, but the aim is to release it on as many platforms as possible.

While competitive play will be the main focus during development, the team says it's laying the foundations to create an "amazing single player" experience. As for the mechanics, the second game will be taking inspiration from other platform fighters by introducing shields, grabs and ledges. Many of the same mechanics will also be returning. You can learn more on the official Rivals 2 FAQ page.

Kirby And The Forgotten Land Is Apparently Japan's "Biggest" Kirby Launch Ever

Posted: 02 Apr 2022 08:00 AM PDT

It's outperformed Kirby Super Star Ultra on DS.

Earlier this week, we found out Kirby and the Forgotten Land had become the biggest Kirby launch ever in the UK. Now, in related news - the game has been crowned the "biggest" Kirby launch in Japan.

As highlighted in Japan's Famitsu sales charts this week, the new Kirby game managed to take out the top spot as the best-selling release of the week. It's sold 380,060 copies - outperforming titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokémon Legends: Arceus and even FromSoftware's hit Elden Ring.

Mini Review: A Memoir Blue - Annapurna's Latest Is Short But Just Not Sweet Enough

Posted: 02 Apr 2022 06:00 AM PDT

Front crawl, back stroke, ego stroke.

We'd be lying if we pretended we hadn't experienced impressive games published by Annapurna Interactive in the past; What Remains of Edith Finch, Outer Wilds, and Sayonara Wild Hearts are just scratching the surface of the critically acclaimed titles that have passed through their avowed art-game doors. The hit factory though, such as it is, seems to be on a bit of a stumble lately. The hotly-anticipated Twelve Minutes was the dampest of damp squibs, your mileage will absolutely vary with The Artful Escape and now we've got A Memoir Blue, a "interactive poem" (red flag emoji) about a competitive swimmer's relationship with her mother.

Is that too cynical? Perhaps. We fear that these introspective games — while certainly having their place in this enormous, diverse, joyous hobby — need to offer a little more meat on the bone to be truly worthwhile. And we don't mean in their core gameplay, necessarily; storywise, this is a flaccid experience, on top of being mechanically uninteresting. We can forgive one, but not both.

Guide: Best Nintendo Switch 3D Platformers

Posted: 02 Apr 2022 04:00 AM PDT

Workin' the Z-axis.

Updated with new entries. Enjoy!

Ah, the 3D platformer. Ever since Super Mario 64 landed and showed everyone just how good three-dimensional platforming could be there have been developers hoping to capture just a smidgen of that game's magic. It was a tough act to follow, even for the plumber himself, but his bespoke Switch outing finds him at the very top of his game.

Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 2nd)

Posted: 02 Apr 2022 02:00 AM PDT

It's April already?!

It's the weekend - hooray! We hope you've all managed to get through April Fools' Day in one piece. It's been another week of bombshells, with possibly the biggest news being something we all *kinda* expected but didn't want to admit, and that's the news of Breath of the Wild 2 being delayed into 2023. We also got three new games for the Nintendo Switch Online service, which was a delightful surprise. Finally, we all predicted it, and it was confirmed that E3 2022 has been cancelled, with no in-person or digital event taking place.

Now it's time to chill out and discuss our weekend gaming plans. A few members of the Nintendo Life team have done just that below, so feel free to give our entries a read and then join in with your own via our comment section. Enjoy!
