Image: Nintendo Life This time last year, the thought of having a new top-down Zelda in our hands felt like a pipe dream. But then Echoes of Wisdom came along and reaffirmed the idea that the future of the series might not be an exclusively open-world, 3D affair. But our minds are now drifting to

Wario Land-inspired action-platformer Antonblast has been delayed a month due to its developer, Summitsphere, being based in the southeastern United States, where Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton have left hundreds dead and millions without electricity.

If you think you’re in love with Astarion, think again, as one Baldur’s Gate 3 fan apparently spent $20,000 on a sex doll. We all have wants, right? Maybe some of those wants are needs, even! So please try to refrain from judging the person that spent more money in one go than

The James Webb Space Telescope was late to launch, but the observatory is making gup for lost time.

You may recall that, a week ago, Nintendo had announced that F-ZERO Climax and F-Zero GP Legend would be arriving on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on October 11th. As usual, the date was actually referring to Japan’s time zone, so October 11th in Japan would be late on October 10th or in the

The Phantom Menace is the one Star Wars movie that probably received the most tie-in games back in the day, and it appears that Lucasfilm Games is making sure we remember all of them. After a straightforward re-release of Episode I: The Phantom Menace earlier this year, it’s been announced that Aspyr is remastering Jedi

For you, how was the experience of working on the second entry different from the first? Ayabe-san’s presence was a major difference. This time, his schedule didn’t allow for much involvement, so I took the lead. One thing I was very conscious of was not to create a copy of an Ayabe work. I wanted

It turns out that a report that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund were looking to increase their stake in Nintendo were incorrect as it has emerged today that instead of an increase they have decreased their stake in Nintendo.

Over the weekend, Chinese Tekken 8 player xiaochenchen (XCC) made a scorching run through the bracket at Thaiger Uppercut. To call this an unexpected result is an understatement.

Apple revealed a new generation of its custom Arm-based silicon earlier this year, but it took the unusual step of releasing the M4 first in a new iPad Pro model.

If you’ve been on the Silent Hill 2 Remake Wikipedia page recently and noticed the review scores seem a bit low, that’s because someone’s been tampering with them.

Strange Scaffold‘s recent streak (over two years) of wildly different indie releases has been pretty wild: From El Paso, Elsewhere to Life Eater to Clickolding, the indie studio has represented tight and laser-focused gaming at its best and most experimental.

October isn’t a prime month for sales, but we were surprised to see some additional price drops on well-reviewed prebuilt gaming PCs at the start of the month.

Image: Nintendo Life We’ve been playing The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom pretty consistently over the past week and it’s safe to say we’re really rather fond of it.
