This Nintendo Life

Hey there it is me, Nbz. I don't know if anyone reads the description or not. I think most people just look at the timestamps and don't actually read the little thing I write here? Should I stop doing it? I don't know. I kinda like writing it but I also don't know if its worth writing. Anyway this episode has some video games like Eastward which is very good and Toem which is also good and Flynn: Son of Crimson which is quite good. Then we talk about that Nintendo Direct where they talk about Chris Pratt being Mario for some reason. Oh also Bayonetta 3 and a 3D Kirby game. Wild stuff people. Truly wild. Anyway if you did read this then contact me or email the show and let me know if you care about it, and if no one does then I think I'll just start leaving timestamps here. Anyway have a nice day and I hope you enjoy the episode.

Hey folks, we're back! It's been a while since we recorded so we have a ton to talk about, including Nintendo's latest release WarioWare: Get It Together that we've both been playing and enjoying. Bally and Nbz have also been diving deep into Axiom Verge 2, the follow up to the cult classic Metroidvania and have a lot of good things to say about it. Nbz meanwhile finally finished the behemoth of a game that is The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve, one which he thinks holds up as a series best, and we close things out with a quick chat about What The Dub, a ridiculous party game that is excellent for stag weekends. After the break we answer your emails about the Game Boy games we want to see come to Switch Online as well as ranking the sales potential of Nintendo's releases for the end of the year. We finish things up with a discussion about how much we spend on video games and the price of the hobby in general, spurred on by a supposed price drop that the Switch is getting in Europe.

Hey everyone! Apologies if this episode sounds out of date, that's because it is! We recorded this one a while ahead of release because Bally was getting married. However we still got plenty of games to talk about, including Pokemon Legends Arceus and the new footage shown in a recent Pokemon Presents showcase - it's definitely growing on us. Nbz meanwhile has been puzzling around in Lego Builders Journey, a branded game with a heart of gold, while Bally has played through the short but sweet adventure Florence on Switch. Nbz has also been taking an RPG history lesson with Soul Blazer, an oft forgotten game from Quintet, the creators of Act Raiser, and begins his journey in playing all three games in the "Quintet Trilogy." After the break we take some of your emails about how our thoughts have evolved on games since we played them and what are the best video game romantic match ups that we can concoct.

We're back baby and its time for video games. We kick things off with a chat about the latest Indie World Showcase from Nintendo and how it might be one of the best ones yet with shadow drops and release dates aplenty. Nbz gives his very early impressions of one of those shadow dropped games - Axiom Verge 2, before both Bally and Nbz wax lyrical about surprise hit Dodgeball Academia! It's a Sports RPG meets Pokemon meets My Hero Academia and is wonderful. After the break we dive into some of your emails talking about small team indie developers as well as how Nintendo can create more experimental entries in their most beloved series.

Hey everyone! We're back, this time with a much shorter show than last time, but not to say that we don't have plenty to talk about. Nbz kicks things off with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, marking the first time in 10 years that he has revisited this classic. Bally and Nbz have both been checking out Death's Door, the recently released isometric action game from Devolver and Acid Nerve. Nbz has also started on The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles as this beloved series makes a grand return, meanwhile Bally has been playing Part Time UFO a cool little puzzle game from HAL, the creators of Kirby and TNL favourite Box Boy! Nbz closes out with a trio of games in Jelly Boy, Flatland Vol. 2 and Gunstar Super Heroes. Phew that was a lot of video games. After the break we hit up the email inbox and answer questions on game words that we mispronounce and whether fans should worry about games selling well.

It's finally here! We've made it to 200 episodes, and boy do we have a beefy show for you. We kick things off with what we've been playing, where Bally talks about the charming Zelda-like Chicory, a game where you paint your way through colourless world. Meanwhile Nbz has been hitting the classics once more, playing the original Doom on Switch! After the break we dive into our main event, making a list of our Top 50 Nintendo games of all time. It is a long discussion that was a lot of fun and we hope you enjoy listening. It should be noted that we recorded this episode quite early in advance so there isn't any chatter about the Switch OLED, but we will definitely be talking about it in the future. Thanks everyone for listening for 200 episodes and we hope you'll stick with us for the next 200!

Hey folks, we're back! Its getting close to the big 200 but first we must talk about the big Nintendo game of the moment with Mario Golf: Super Rush. Both Nbz and Bally have been playing it and certainly have a lot of thoughts to deliver. Nbz has also been playing the latest Smash Bros character with Kazuya Mishima from the Tekken series, as well as taking a brief look at Pokémon Unite from the Japanese e-shop. After the break we tackle some of your emails on Nintendo and Politics as well as making a tough choice of which Nintendo franchise to bring back (for a price).

Hey everyone! We're back with a regular old episode, though Nbz is coughing up a storm the show must go on! Bally kicks things off with another Zelda ticked off the list, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages. Nbz meanwhile has been playing a late 3DS release, the forgotten Ever Oasis from Grezzo.

Hey everyone! It's almost that time of the year again when we finally hear about all the big new video games that Nintendo are cooking up, and we're here to prepare you all for the E3 showcase! But first we have some games to discuss. Both Bally and Nbz have been checking out The Wild At Heart, an indie take on Pikmin that is delightful.

Hey folks! We're back with more podcasting and more Nintendo chat. Nbz kicks things off with Nintendo's newest, hottest release...a remake from the 1980s with Famicom Detective Club! He discusses the first game, The Missing Heir, and how it feels both modern and archaic in equal measure. Bally meanwhile checks in with Abzu, a relaxing underwater game from a few years ago. Nbz closes out the segment with Ori & The Will of the Wisps on Switch and implores everyone to go buy it as it is on sale. After the break we answer your emails on the Nintendo consoles we own and what will happen when the Switch eShop shuts down, before closing things out with a discussion on Giant Bomb's recent departures and reminiscing about our memories from the site.

He has also been playing BOXBOY + BOXGIRL returning to one of Nintendo's most underrated series.

We kick things off talking about the latest Smash Bros DLC with Pyra/Mythra being added to the game and they may be one of our favourite additions yet!

Hey folks! This week we welcome a special guest onto the show, Dan from Project Falcon Punch! Dan kicks off the show with chat about Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and all the benefits and drawbacks this re-release has to offer. Nbz and Bally then dig into the Project Triangle Strategy demo and all its intricacies. Nbz also checked out the leaked Dinosaur Planet as well as the closed beta for Knock-Out City, a game recently shown in the Nintendo Direct. After the break we talk a bit about the Pokemon Direct and their remakes/reboots before getting into a discussion about remakes, remasters and reboots generally, with each of us picking games we want to see brought back in those forms.

Hey folks! We're back and frozen over in this very cold February. Nbz kicks off the show this time with his final thoughts on Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, but did he make it through the end?
