This Nintendo Life

This week on the show its sales sales sales! But before that we talk about some video games. Bally kicks it off with impressions from OlliOlli on 3DS and is pretty happy with it overall. He also actually played some Mario Maker as opposed to making it and also checks in with Fire Emblem Awakening...this one will take a while to finish I'm sure! Nbz concludes his journey with GOTY contender Metal Gear Solid V and has also started another potential GOTY winner with Axiom Verge. After the break we crack into some of your listener mail before having a segment all about game sales! Do Nintendo do a good job with them? What do they need to to better? All this and more in this week's show! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Triforce Assemble! Hey everyone, as you can probably tell this week is all about Nintendo's latest spin off in the Zelda Franchise, namely Triforce Heroes. Both Nbz and Bally have been playing it online and give their take on this fresh new co-op adventure. Will they be able to overcome lag and save the realm? You'll have to listen and find out!

Hey guys and welcome back to the show! This week we return to our usual schedule and kick things off with the games we've been playing. Having moved country between episodes, Bally has his trusty 3DS in tow and has been playing a little bit of OlliOlli and a good amount of Fire Emblem: Awakening. Needless to say he is quite impressed with the latter! Both Nbz and Bally had a quick chance to check out the Triforce Heroes demo and talk about some worries regarding the online infrastructure. Nbz has been engulfed into open worlds recently and talks about his 40 hours (and counting) of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, as well as his return to the world of The Witcher 3, with the new DLC! After the break we answer some of your e-mails, before closing out the show with a discussion of recent news events, including NX development kits and Twilight Princess HD! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hello everyone, and welcome to our first huge milestone episode! We have been doing this podcast for 100 weeks now and this is indeed the 50th episode. And just in time, Bally has finally finished The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! He is pretty happy with one of the most beloved games in history and we have a good chat about the end of his experience. After that we have a long discussion about the new free DLC for Shovel Knight, namely Plague of Shadows. It takes the levels and bosses of the original game and remixes them for a brand new character. Its pretty awesome and both Nbz and Bally are very pleased with the final product. After the break we begin our countdown of our top 50 games of all time. This is a long list and was a lot of fun to put together, so let us know if you enjoyed the format! Finally, thank you very much for listening to this show for the past couple of years. We have had a lot of fun making it and hope to continue long into the future! Remember to send all your correspondence to our

Itsa me! Nbz! And welcome to our show. This week its all about the new hotness, namely Super Mario Maker. Both Nbz and Bally have spent ample time with Nintendo's level creation tool and give all of their thoughts regarding the whole package. Besides Mario, Nbz has finished Code Name STEAM, and is super positive on it! This may be the most underappreciated game on the 3DS! After the break we answer some of your e-mails on Mario Maker and other topics before getting down to our news segment where we discuss Nintendo's new president, Star Fox being delayed and more! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hello everyone and welcome back to the show! This week is a very special episode as we have our 2nd guest on the podcast, namely Liam (aka Tamaki) from Unseen64, Nintendo Life and many other places on the internet! He is an expert in the art of unreleased video games, and we have a great discussion with him about them, but first we discuss what we've been playing! Bally continues his platformer education with Rayman Legends on Wii U and has postive early impressions. Liam hasn't had much time to play games, but brings discussion on Rare Replay and Bayonetta 2. Finally Nbz closes things out with his early thoughts on Code Name STEAM, which has surprisingly not driven him completely insane yet. After the break we answer e-mails on a follow up to Chris Pranger's firing and diversifying our gaming tastes, before closing out the show with an extended conversation about Liam's work with unreleased games and more. Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLi

Apologies for the busted audio at the end of the podcast, hopefully its bearable! Anyway, this week on the podcast, Bally finally finishes Yoshi's Woolly World and isn't the biggest fan. He also played an non Nintendo game, namely Rocket League. How did this happen? You'll have to listen to find out. But most importantly he has played the amazing Guacamelee which pleased Nbz greatly. On the other end of the Metroidvania spectrum Nbz busted his way through Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, before discussing another classic in the form of Mega Man X. After the break we fly through some listener mail before ending with a segment talking about the recently fired employee at Nintendo and a general discussion with how Nintendo handles PR. Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! This week Bally continues to slog his way through Yoshi's Woolly World and doesn't make much progress, but fortunately he has also been playing another Nintendo classic to keep his spirits up, namely Ocarina of Time! Nbz has played too many games to count, but sings the praises of a small indie platformer called INK, delves into the detective world of Ghost Trick and finshes with a bang by discussion the reboot of Tomb Raider. After the break we get into some of your e-mails (which we always need more of!) and then close out the show with another round of the Jukebox! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey everyone! This week on the show Bally and Nbz pick apart the recently released Yoshi's Wooly World, and share some surprising criticisms of Nintendo's latest platforming outing. Nbz has also played through one of the best releases on the Vita, namely Danganronpa. He is super positive on this visual novel that shares similarities with Phoenix Wright and The Hunger Games. After the break we get into some of your e-mails before transitioning to a reflection on Nintendo's late President, Satoru Iwata. Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! This week both Bally and Nbz got to attend the Hyper Japan event in London where they got to play all of Nintendo's E3 games, including Star Fox Zero, Triforce Heroes, Mario Maker and more! After spending the first segment on their impressions, we move onto our hotly anticipated new feature, the Backlog Club! We talk for over 90 minutes about the relative merits of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, whilst bringing in e-mails and thoughts that you sent in. It was a lot of fun and we hope you enjoy listening to it! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Welcome back to the show everyone! We're past E3, so that means back to the usual schedule. This week Bally returns to another SNES classic, namely the original Donkey Kong Country, and seems to like it quite a bit. He also tried out a few games from the Nindies at E3 demo promotion and is particularly high on Typoman. Nbz follows up with his thoughts on Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, a title which is flawed but fun. He also beat a short Ubisoft game on PC called Grow Home which has great ideas for the future of 3D platformers. He closes out the segment with final thoughts on The Witcher 3 which is in contention for his GOTY! After the break we answer some of your e-mails (Keep sending them in!) and end the show with an E3 round up including discussion of the Treehouse live part of Nintendo's showing. Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Its E3 everyone! Let's talk about Nintendo!

Well here we are everyone, E3 is just round the corner and we are here to provide all the pre-show hype! First up though we talk about some video games. Bally has finally and somewhat unbelievably finished Xenoblade Chronicles. The end may have been a slog, but he did it! We then discuss the single player of Splatoon and its merits, before Nbz writes a love letter to The Witcher 3 which is a big challenger for his game of the year. After the break we dive into E3 mania! We kick off by reviewing our predictions from last year, before moving onto making new ones. After that we read some of your e-mails which contain many interesting predictions as well. Next week we will be brining you an E3 special directly after the Nintendo Digital Event, so keep your eyes peeled to your podcast feeds! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey guys, welcome back to the show! This week Bally finally gets to a game in his backlog he bought a while back, namely Steamworld Dig! Then the boys have a talk about the small amount of time they have spent with Splatoon so far, and feel pretty positive about the early online experience. Nbz closes things out by talking about the fantastic Valiant Hearts which came out last year and was something Ubisoft actually did right in 2014! After the break we tackle a batch of your listener mail, before closing out the show with a look back at E3 2005. It has been 10 years since that press conference aired and Bally and Nbz have interesting thoughts on how far Nintendo have come since then. Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! This week, Bally closes out Link to the Past and expresses both joy and frustration at the SNES classic. He also finally fininshes a game that has been on his backlog forever, namely New Super Mario Bros U! Nbz not only has played a Zelda game, but also something which has been on his backlog forever, Ocarina of Time 3D! After 15 years he is finally done with it, and tells the whole tale! He also played a couple of shorter games on Steam, Fenix Rage and Race The Sun! After the break we answer some more of your e-mails (keep seding those in btw!) and close out the show with a discussion about theme parks and Nintendo's new announcement of a partnership with Universal to have Nintendo themed rides at their parks! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Nbz and Bally discuss their time with the Splatoon beta! Also, I think we talk about not being able to customise your controls, but in fact you can! We just didn't notice the option at the time.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! This week we recorded early as Nbz has exams, but there is still plenty to talk about. First up Bally and Nbz discuss the new Mario Kart 8 DLC! 200cc is way faster than they expected and they are having a great time with the new DLC. Bally has also started a Zelda classic that Nbz beat last year, A Link To The Past! He is overall very positive and will hopefully have finished it by next time. Closing out Bally's segment he played through the iOS game Nbz brought up on the last show, namely Monument Valley. Nbz then addresses his frustrations playing through Xeodrifter, a Metroid style game that didn't quite hit the mark. He closes out what we have been playing by endorsing Chrono Trigger even more than last time, it may be one of the best games he has ever played! After the break we dive into some more e-mails, with a very heavy focus on JRPG's before closing out the show with a discussion about games and sports. Should we treat games as sports? When will games gain mai

This week on the show, Nbz and Bally are reeling from an incredible performance at the Legend of Zelda Symphony, but more of that later! First up we talk about the games we've been playing, kicking it off with an e-shop gem, Box Boy! You mean to tell me that HAL makes games which don't feature Kirby? Yep that's right, and this awesome little puzzle platformer that both Nbz and Bally have been playing makes a case for them straying from the pink blob far more often. Bally also checks in with some progress on Xenoblade Chronicles 3D which he is making good headway in. Nbz then talks a little about playing with Mewtwo in Smash Bros, before moving on to the classic JRPG, Chrono Trigger, which he feels holds up remarkably well. Finally Nbz closes out what we've been playing with Monument Valley, a short but amazing iOS game! Yes I know, Nbz does play games on phones sometimes! After the break we bring you our live recording from the Zelda symphony, where we give all of our impressions about the event. We then clos
