Back in 2023, Nintendo announced that a Legend of Zelda movie was in production. Created in partnership with Sony Pictures and with Avi Arad as producer, the film is set to be a live-action adaptation of the series, like so many fan-made ones before it. But that’s all we knew about it. We knew the…
When it comes to Nintendo announcements, we have to admit there are some that leave us incredibly confused. There’s the Nintendo Switch Online app, whose sole purpose seems to be to provide voice chat for the four people on the planet without a Discord account. There’s the Labo VR stuff, where random old Switch games…
Wow, it’s certainly surprising how many decade long hiatuses the Switch era is ending, isn’t it? Indeed, with Pikmin 4 releasing after 10 years, Metroid Dread becoming a reality after 20 and even a new Rhythm Heaven game getting announced in the recent Direct, it seems like Nintendo is bringing a lot of popular series…
Damn, the Switch really is the comeback console, isn’t it? Indeed, from F-Zero to Advance Wars, Famicom Detective Club to classic Mario RPGs, it’s clear that just about every forgotten fan-favourite is on the table for the console, with all manner of beloved games and franchises making the return for the system.

After all, are you saying Nintendo is gonna…
As you know, it’s nearly the end of the road for Mario Kart 8. Indeed, after over a decade of Mario Kart 8 being the main game in the series, it seems it’s finally time to move on. Mario Kart 10 has been teased, and it’ll be releasing on the Switch 2 sometime this year.…
In the last few years or so, Nintendo has been surprisingly good at licensing out their characters for LEGO sets. Indeed, while they turned down proposals for Nintendo themed LEGO sets for decades before then, recent years have seen ones based on both the Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda franchises, finally fulfilling longtime…
Given the massive success of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 in 2020, it only made sense that the third and fourth game were going to get the same treatment. After all, those titles are arguably at least as good as their earlier counterparts, with both having review scores in the 90+ range. However, with Vicarious…
When it comes to crossovers in Zelda fan projects, a few series usually come to mind. There’s the Mario series, which has a heavy presence in official and unofficial Zelda games of all kinds. There’s the Metroid series, which at least plays somewhat like a Zelda game mechanically speaking, and which could be swapped without…
