Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #98 - Super Mario Strikers
It's kick off time!
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl! In last week's edition, we took a look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back from the Sewers for the Game Boy.

Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #97 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back From The Sewers
Let's raise some shell
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening; welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Looking back to last week, we put Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards to the test with two similar-ish boxes, save a different colour scheme and some character placements.

Poll What's The Best Warriors Game On Switch?
Mucho Musou
The imminent release of Touken Ranbu Warriors brings the total number of Warriors games on Switch in the West to 11.

Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #96 - Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Which one doesn't suck?
Hello hello hello, and welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Last week, it was Mother's Day in many parts of the world, so we took a look at Mother 2 / EarthBound, where the box art for Japan and North America is very different.

Talking Point As Switch Hardware Sales Slow, How Long Can Nintendo Delay 'Switch 2'?
Stuck between a rock and a global chip shortage
Nintendo's report for the 2021/22 financial year dropped today, and while Switch continues to sell well and software sales are looking healthy, signs that enthusiasm for the five-year-old system is beginning to ebb are also apparent. To be clear, the results present a far from gloomy outlook for the...

Poll Does Nintendo Really Need To Release Mother 3 In The West Anymore?
We'd be first in line, but have all the fans played it already?
That Mother 3 never got officially localised and released outside Japan has been a source of sadness and frustration for EarthBound fans in the West since the game launched on Game Boy Advance back in 2006. The sequel to cult classic EarthBound — the SNES entry in the Mother series...

Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #95 - Earthbound / Mother 2
It's going to get Ness-y
Greetings, and welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl! Last week, we took a look at the SNES classic Super Castlevania IV, and boy, you folks really didn't like the Japanese box art, did you?

Talking Point If 1-2-Switch Sequel Rumours Are Somehow True, How Could Nintendo Improve It?
1-2-Switch-2
Nintendo rumours and the world of 'insiders' can occasionally be a strange, baffling place. While there's no shortage of legitimate leaks, some of the speculation can come across as tall tales, fever dreams, or even the potential machinations of Nintendo trying to bait and identify internal leakers. One bit of speculation that just...

Feature Will These 10 Classic Western RPGs Ever Come To Switch?
We maxed out our Intelligence to make these predictions
Month after month, the Nintendo Switch continues to add classic Japanese role-playing games through remakes, ports, and its online emulation service. Recently, we took a look at 10 classic JRPGs that – surprisingly – hadn’t made it to Switch yet. But what about RPGs developed west of...

Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #94 - Super Castlevania IV
Die, Box Art. You don't belong in this world.
Hello hello, and welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl! In last week's fierce battle, we pitted the brutal, calculating, unsympathetic pink blob that is Kirby against... well, Kirby. The EU and Japanese box arts for Kirby's Dream Land went head-to-head, and although the abstract nature of Japan's...

Poll What's The Best Star Fox Game?
Okay, what's the SECOND best Star Fox game, then?
You hear that? That is the sound of a 25-year-old 64-bit Arwing firing up its turbo boosters as Lylat Wars fast approaches its quarter-century. (Yes, Lylat Wars -- look it up, kids.) To say that the Star Fox franchise never got better than its first sequel isn't too controversial these days. The...

Poll Which Wii Sport Is The Best Wii Sport In Wii Sports (And Which Is The Worst)?
The oui sports and the non sports
Here's a fun little exercise: When you think of Wii Sports, which sport do you think of first? For me, it's Bowling. I got really good at lining up the ball just right to always get a strike, which is a far cry from my real-life bowling ability (which usually includes a lot of gutterballs). I only vaguely ...

You can never have too many massive swords
The Nintendo Switch has fast become the best way to play Japanese role-playing games over its five-year lifespan.

Poll Box Art Brawl: Duel #92 - The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past
SNES classic goes head-to-head
Ahoy everyone, welcome back to another Box Art Brawl! We've got a great one for you this week, just in case the image and the title didn't quite give it away. Last week, we looked at Mario Golf (which is out now on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion !), pitting North America against Japan to determine which box...

Talking Point If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?
Gotta have those fluffy clouds
Just a couple of weeks ago, the famed honcho of the Legend of Zelda series, Eiji Aonuma, announced that the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would be delayed into Spring 2023.

Talking Point Now That Zelda: BOTW 2 Is Off The Table, Should Holiday 2022 Belong To Mario?
Or even... Donkey Kong?
Nintendo's Holiday 2022 season is looking real quiet. Too quiet, if you ask us. Even though we're about nine months out, it seems a little odd that we don't know what Nintendo's big holiday release might be — Splatoon 3 is scheduled for the Summer, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is due in September, and of course, the previous Big...

How disappointed are you?
We all knew what the video was about when we saw the thumbnail and ominous title - "Launch Timing Update".

Yep, Nintendo is starting to 'get it'
It's always a popular — and accurate — go-to joke that Nintendo's online offering will be largely similar to whatever Xbox and PlayStation did a decade ago. Harsh, but often fair.
