This is going to take a little bit of explaining. There is a game called “The House In Fata Morgana” that first came out in Japan in 2012. It eventually trickled its way onto more platforms, including iOS, PS4, and 3DS, but it wasn’t until 2016 that Western audiences were able to play it. And

The Metroidvania game, and  Castlevania’s spiritual successor, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night came out in 2019 on multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. Ever since then, it has been a success. In fact, according to publisher 505 Games in their fiscal year 2020/2021 Q3 results presentation, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night sold more than 1,000,000

Now, we can’t guarantee that this deal will be permanent, we can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to keep it, and we definitely can’t guarantee that it’ll be the case for long, but right now it looks like you can grab the Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass for free, thanks to an exploit.

Fortnite‘s seventh season is approaching, and ahead of the reveal, they’ve apparently been sending postcards to gamers, seemingly at random, and sending DVD players to influencers. Weird stealth marketing is hardly new — remember the time Watch Dogs sent a bomb-like package to members of the media, and told them threateningly to “check their voicemail”?

Square Enix has announced a new Dragon Quest title called Dragon Quest Treasures which looks likely to be a Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 title.

Considering that the likelihood of finding a shiny Pokémon is around 1/4096 — although you can increase the rate slightly with various methods — this

The Nintendo Switch version of Miitopia hasn’t been out for a week yet, but that has never stopped Nintendo from releasing updates to their games. The first updates released for a game are usually the most important, as they address any major bugs that may have been found, enhance some already-implemented features with added compatibility

© Nintendo The Famicom Detective Club titles were a fascinating recent arrival on Switch, with The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind both available. Quite a few members of the Nintendo Life team are playing them, and the general consensus is that they’re rather lovely — albeit admittedly dated — experiences. The blend

Do you remember Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid? It launched on PC and consoles in 2019. Ever since the release happened, the game has received loads of content in the form of DLC. There’s a large variety of content to buy, but if you don’t even have the base game yet and intend to

Nintendo Life Resident Evil Village, the eighth main title in the classic horror-survival series, is an absolute gem. Unfortunately, it’s not currently on Nintendo platforms… but we can imagine that it is, thanks to the excellent artistic work of ΛΛoth, AKA @LatterBug on Twitter. The pitch of “Resident Evil bosses as Pokémon Gym Leaders” would

Respawn Entertainments head of monetization recently took part in a Reddit Ask Me Anything thread and talked about and answered players concerns regarding the pricing of some cosmetics in the free-to-play game, Apex Legends.

A friend of mine once told me something that stuck with me: “don’t defer pleasure”. It sounds like one of those Instagram quotes on a background of a sunset, I know, but it’s actually become somewhat of a motto for me, because I’m the sort of person that hoards things in video games and real

Nintendo has announced that a new Spirit Board event is happening in Super Smash Bros Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch.

Having successfully brought Crysis Remastered to current platforms it seems Crytech is working on a remaster of Crysis 2 for consoles.

If there’s one 3DS exclusive we didn’t expect to make the leap to the Switch, it’s Miitopia. The oddball RPG starring you and your friends has been given the HD treatment, but does it really have a place on a system so much more powerful than the 3DS? The story of Miitopia is nothing too

Believe it or not, after 5 years since its initial release, Pokemon GO is still getting updates. In fact, next month features a special occasion on the Pokemon GO calendar. Earlier this month, Niantic announced Gible Community Day. Fans have been highly requesting Gible, a Land Shark Pokémon, receive more attention. Gible Community Day, according

Bootleg games are still very much around, but there was a certain charm to them back in the day, in an era when they were the stuff of legend and stealthily distributed. Getting more specific, to varying degrees in past times the Chinese market was cut-off from the mainstream video game industry, but that didn’t

The founders of Free Radical Design have gotten together to start a new Deep Silver studio and they are working to bring the acclaimed Timesplitters series back to life.
