Guide: Best Castlevania Games On Nintendo Consoles

Posted: 01 May 2022 02:00 AM PDT

Far from a miserable pile.

Castlevania first launched in Japan on the Famicom Disk System on 26th September 1986, but in honour of the series' 35th anniversary on NES in North America today, it's the perfect time to revisit this ranked list of every Castlevania game on Nintendo consoles. Enjoy!

The Castlevania series has a rich history on Nintendo consoles ever since the original game came first to the Japanese Famicom Disk System way back in 1986, and then to the NES a year later. There may be a significant release or two from Konami's vampire-killing catalogue still missing from Nintendo platforms (we're looking at you, Symphony of the Night), but the vast majority of the series can be found on Nintendo consoles.

Posted: 30 Apr 2022 06:30 PM PDT

Aims to "sell more" software in response.

Although there's still a lot of demand for the Switch, Nintendo is reportedly bracing itself for a decline in hardware sales.

According to Nikkei Asia, the Japanese video game giant expects to sell "only about 20 million Switch game consoles" in the current fiscal year, which would be a 10% decrease from fiscal year 2021. Nikkei goes on to state how it has learned that "a semiconductor shortage and disruptions to logistics networks" are contributing factors.

Guide: Best Resident Evil Games Of All Time

Posted: 30 Apr 2022 08:00 AM PDT

You sort the S.T.A.R.S. from the lickers.

It's exactly 20 years since REmake launched on GameCube in North America, and the perfect time to revisit this ranked list of every Resident Evil game on Nintendo consoles. Enjoy!

The Resident Evil series has evolved so much over the years that even hardened fans find it hard to pin down a favourite. Which brand of Biohazard are we talking? Do you prefer old-school tank controls and fixed camera angles, or are your tastes more action-oriented? Regardless of the individual flavours, the addictive mixture of cinematic terror and B-movie shlock and gore runs through them all. But which Resident Evil is the best?

Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 30th)

Posted: 30 Apr 2022 02:00 AM PDT

Wanna play ball?

Hold on, it's May on Sunday? We're a little bit confused about that here at Nintendo Life Towers — how are we already in the fifth month of 2022? Blimey. Anyway, after the release date chaos of last week, this week has been decidedly more steady. Reggie Fils-Aimé's SXSW talk is now available, and in it, he reveals how the legendary Satoru Iwata's death affected his decision to leave Nintendo. We've got some tips from Nintendo on how to deal with Switch battery issues. And Yuji Naka claims that he was removed as Balan Wonderworld director by Square Enix in a pretty revealing Twitter thread.

PSA: You Might Not Need To Unbox The New Smash Bros. amiibo To Use It

Posted: 29 Apr 2022 09:45 PM PDT

See for yourself.

As you've probably seen, the new Min Min Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo is now available in-store. If you are planning on adding this one to your collection, here's your PSA that this new amiibo based on the fighter from the ARMS series might not actually need to be unboxed to be used.

As highlighted by a user (with a North American Min Min model) on the amiibo subreddit, this new amiibo's packaging may not have an "NFC blocker tag", which prevents Nintendo fans from scanning the NFC figure while it's still inside the box.

Former Nintendo Of America Boss Reggie To Appear On G4TV Next Week

Posted: 29 Apr 2022 06:30 PM PDT

"As an executive, I hated Donkey Konga".

The former Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aimé, is currently doing the rounds online to promote his new book Disrupting the Game. If you thought you've heard everything he's had to say, perhaps not.

In a new teaser (that lacks context and is clearly poking fun) for an upcoming G4TV XPlay interview, Reggie can be seen answering some hard-hitting questions. We do hear him say a little bit in this short time frame, but possibly the most shocking (and hilarious) line is the following: "As an executive, I hated Donkey Konga."

Deal In "Fleshly Wares" In Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, Out Now On Switch

Posted: 29 Apr 2022 12:00 PM PDT

With a physical release coming later.

Strange Scaffold's hit indie title Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator launched on PC and Xbox via Game Pass last December. However, in a surprise move, the developer has announced that its organ trading sim is out right now on Nintendo Switch. Well, that's the quickest deal we've seen in a while!

With a name like Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, you can tell this is going to be something very different. You are an organ trader who makes profits from body parts. Throughout space, you'll be trading and selling with unusual clients such as a mysterious astronaut-looking dude named Quartermaster, a fungus (maybe?) called Farmer Popkin, and "legally not a dog" Chad Shakespeare, who looks like a dog.

Mini Review: Waifu Impact - Single-Player 'Fortnite With Fan Service', Minus The Fun

Posted: 29 Apr 2022 10:00 AM PDT

Sometimes fan service just isn't enough.

When something becomes popular enough, it is bound to attract imitators. Sometimes those imitators will smash as many different genres together to try to capitalise on multiple other games' popularity. In the case of Waifu Impact, the developers took the principles that have made Fortnite a bewildering success and combined them with a healthy dose of fan service to attract players, plus a lick of Genshin Impact-style presentation. There's nothing wrong with taking what has been popular in the past and serving it up in a new way; players sometimes need a little familiarity to help them settle into a new game. However, a high level of polish is required, and with Waifu Impact that polish just isn't there. Even worse than awkward and clunky gameplay, it simply isn't fun.

Waifu Impact sees players dropped onto glorious 'Waifu Island', a place visited nightly in the dreams of many; a tropical paradise hosting cute girls running around shooting each other with water guns. It is the basic premise that we saw in Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash, but with stripped-back features. Instead of different teams vying for control of the arena, it is a free-for-all against the AI-controlled enemies who all look and play the exact same. Instead of the barely contained chaos, with action coming at you from every angle — the things that make other arena shooters fun to play — this feels like a slog.
