Back in summer 2017, the first three Crash Bandicoot titles were remade as part of a compilation called the N Sane Trilogy. This compilation featured upgraded graphics and music, extra abilities from later games in earlier ones as well as cut levels brought back from their decades long slumber for modern audiences. It was an […]
From Melee to Ultimate, the Smash Bros series has always willing to experiment with its character choices. You’ve got characters who didn’t seem fit for a fighting game appearing, like Wii Fit Trainer and Villager. You’ve got characters that seemed like they were forgotten forever coming back, such as Mr Game & Watch, Ice Climbers […]
Launched in June 2017, Xbox One Game Pass is a digital subscription service that allows users access to a catalog of games for a single monthly fee. It’s an interesting enough service, with a decent selection of games and the ability to play them across both Xbox One and Windows 10. But it seems Microsoft’s […]
When it comes to gaming on YouTube, there are no shortage of fantastic channels to check out. From the Angry Video Game Nerd to Boundary Break, from Beta64 to Game Maker’s Toolkit, there are numerous fantastic channels with thousands or even millions of subscribers, many with their own interesting takes on the medium. However, popularity […]
Last month, Bethesda released Fallout 76 for Microsoft Windows,PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Based on the acclaimed RPG series, the game lets players survive in an entirely player populated online world with a mix of single player gameplay and multiplayer action. It was an interesting idea for a game, and if done right, could have […]
Super Mario Odyssey’s been seeing quite a few great custom levels recently. From the difficult Kaizo challenges seen on Twitch to the kingdom mashups released recently (never mind the amazing Bob-omb Battlefield remake), the game’s gone having nothing to a decent modding scene in no time at all. But now another fantastic kingdom joins the […]
As any long time gamer knows, instruction manuals used to be integral part of the gaming experience. In a time where games couldn’t handle cutscenes well and space for information in game was limited, they were more than a set of instructions. They were a look into the minds of the game’s designers. A glimpse […]
As every Super Smash Bros Ultimate fan knows, a while back Nintendo announced their plans for Super Smash Bros Ultimate’s DLC. Consisting of five completely new characters and associated stages and music packs, these are being sold for $5.99 each, or $24.99 as a set as part of the so called Fighter’s Pass. But it […]
In recent times, it seems video game modding has sped up significantly. Indeed, whether it’s Zelda Breath of the Wild and its armour mods or Super Mario Odyssey and its new levels, we’re now seeing modding scenes developing for games far quicker than they used to, with new titles getting them mere weeks or months […]
Nintendo never catches a break when it comes to leaks, do they? Whether it’s Pokémon or Paper Mario, Zelda or Super Mario Odyssey, it seems every single major title they release gets leaked online early. It’s like even the mention of a new title is the universe’s cue to have shops break street dates and […]
Ever since its release in June 2018, Nintendo has kept adding new characters to Mario Tennis Aces. Ranging from Koopa and Blooper to Diddy Kong and Birdo, these have been released every few months or so, and mostly tie into the datamines posted online earlier. But it seems the datamines aren’t the be all and […]
Ever since the update that brought us Luigi’s Balloon World, we’ve had a steady stream of outfits released for Super Mario Odyssey. Starting with the Knight and Sunshine Shirt ones and moving through to the Broodal, Conductor and Zombie ones in later months, every few weeks has seen a new costume made available for Mario […]
Over the last few months or so, we’ve seen dozens of announcements about Super Smash Bros Ultimate. There have been reveals for every main newcomer, as well as the first DLC one. There have been talks about features and stages, with the entire last Direct being about 90% discussion of these things and how they’ve […]
Over the years, there have been tons of fantastic fan made ports and remakes of Nintendo levels. Whether it’s the standalone examples of Snowline Circuit and the RC Car Circuit in Mario Kart, or the full blown game remakes of Super Mario Sunshine 64 DS and Super Mario Galaxy 64, the fans have always been […]
As you likely know, a movie based on Detective Pikachu has been in development for a while now. Based around the same plot as the visual novel and starring Ryan Reynolds as the titular Pokémon, the film promised to move the series into live action, with a setup that looked like it may avoid the […]
As virtually any Zelda fan likely knows, the Champion’s Ballad was the last DLC expansion for the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Featuring the Master Cycle Zero, a new dungeon and various other additions, it certainly went out with a bang, but it also marked the end of the game’s development, with the […]
Ever since the Switch launched, people have wondered when non-gaming apps and services would become available for it. After all, the Wii and Wii U both had Netflix and YouTube on them, and virtually every other Nintendo console from the DSi onwards had a browser of some sort as well. But the Switch didn’t. In […]
If you’re a long time gamer, you’re no doubt aware of Prima Games. Responsible for the strategy guides released alongside every major game in the last decade, the company has basically become the last man standing in their space, with even Nintendo giving them the official licenses after Nintendo Power went kaput. But it seems […]
Earlier today, Nintendo aired a new Nintendo Direct presentation for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Clocking it at 40 minutes in length or so, this presentation included information on every last member of the roster, plus all manner of modes, extras and side stories available in the title. And as per usual with these things, we’ve […]
Over the last decade or two, Nintendo hasn’t exactly been willing to loan out their characters to other characters for adaptations. Indeed, after the 80s/90s and the disastrous Super Mario Bros movie, it seems Nintendo’s willingness to allow for adaptations into other media has mostly stopped with Pokémon and the odd animated short, with longer […]
Well, it’s finally here! After 5 years of no Wario games and a whole handheld console generation without one in sight, WarioWare Gold has finally been released for the 3DS. And with over 300 microgames, numerous extras and unlockables celebrating every part of the franchise’s history, it’s clear Nintendo is aiming for WarioWare Gold to […]
As you may have noticed, there haven’t been a whole lot of updates on Gaming Reinvented in the last few days or so. That’s because for all that time, I’ve been playing Super Mario Odyssey on the Nintendo Switch instead. Seriously, I’ve been doing everything in this game. Beating the main story, getting every Moon […]
Last Friday, the first DLC pack was released for the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Titled the Master Trials, this pack included some new armour, a special Trial of the Sword enemy gauntlet and a harder difficulty named Master Mode to name but a few additions. And like every dedicated Zelda fan, I […]
Earlier today, Nintendo finally released their second in-house mobile app, namely Super Mario Run. It’s been worked on for months, advertised like the second coming on the iTunes app store and had legions of analysts act like it’ll be the best selling, most successful mobile app of all time. Basically, expectations have been through the […]
It’s been about a week since Pokemon Sun and Moon have been released for the 3DS. And boy have they done well in that time frame. They’ve scored 87% on Metacritic. Boosted 3DS sales in all regions by a significant level. Heck, they’ve even managed to become Nintendo’s biggest ever UK launch successes, with their […]
Two weeks ago, a technically impressive mod called Super Mario 64: Last Impact was released. Developed by a guy called Kaze Emanuar and featuring a ton of custom content, the game quickly became a massive phenomenon on the internet and was covered by all manner of sites. Like GoNintendo. Or My Nintendo News or Nintendo […]
As you probably know by this point, I’ve not exactly been the biggest Paper Mario Color Splash fan since it was announced. I’ve tweeted comics about how Miyamoto killed the Paper Mario series. I’ve posted on the Paper Mario subreddit lamenting the franchise’s direction. Heck, I even used to constantly tweet under the hashtag #MakePaperMarioGreatAgain […]
It’s been out for a while now, and it’s already become a massive success in the process. And so with all the hype Pokemon GO has been getting, I thought it’d be time to finally review the game as a whole. Does it really live up to the idea of real life Pokemon collecting and […]
So, it’s been officially a week since Mario & Luigi Paper Jam was released in the UK and Europe. It’s an interesting little Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario crossover with some new ideas, some interesting additional mechanics and other various extras. But how is the game, you might be wondering? Is it anywhere near […]
Well, after many level playthroughs, a good few weeks messing with the level editor and all manner of testing, we’ve finally completed Super Mario Maker enough for a review! Okay, it’s a game that pretty much everyone was going to buy anyone (it’s a Mario level editor, how can any Nintendo fan not care for […]
With Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon being so popular and the possibility of a Luigi’s Mansion 3 always being around the corner, it’s best not to forget about the title where it all started. Released for the Gamecube in about 2001, Luigi’s Mansion was a comedy survival horror game set in the Mario universe, where Luigi […]
With how 3D platformers and games in general have improved in the past few years, it’s very easy to think Super Mario 64 has gotten a bit dated. Heck, after the likes of the Banjo Kazooie series and Super Mario 64’s very own sequels, the original must really seem a bit archaic to gamers who […]
Super Mario 3D Land is an unusual game. On the one hand, it’s technically a 3D game made by the same people behind Super Mario Galaxy, and hence has all of the tricks and game mechanics found in those titles, while on the other it’s about as close to classic 2D Mario as you can […]
Note: Since this review was released, the game has now been added for purchase on the Wii U Virtual Console. If you have a Wii U, we would hence really recommend that you buy this game, since it’s absolutely fantastic and deserves all the promotion it can get. When it comes to game quality, the […]
Not in a satanic or literal sense mind you, but more in a ‘this game is actively trying to sabotage your attempts at winning’ one. Yes, Yoshi’s Island DS is pretty much the nearest thing Nintendo have ever made to a kaizo style ROM hack, and seems to be designed by someone who thinks the […]
With the Legend of Zelda series finally getting a new game on 3DS after the console’s two years on the market, expectations were running high. A sequel to A Link to the Past in a familiar style? A proper overworld to explore with a ton of interesting content and connected locations? Difficult arcade based gameplay? […]
Luigi’s Mansion 2 is a brilliant game. Yeah, that’s pretty much the entire gist of the review and the one message you should care for right off the bat, so there’s no real question whether it’s a game you should buy in future. But let me explain why it’s a great game in more detail […]
As of a few days ago, Mario & Luigi Dream Team was released in Europe, giving me the chance to play it through to the ending. It had a tough job following up on Bowser’s Inside Story (thanks to its predecessors high quality in general), and some people were skeptical it could. After all, other […]
It’s by a guest writer of sorts this time, known as re11ding on the Nintendo 3DS Community forums. He said we could post this up as a review, and since it seems the better of the few reviews the game got on the forums, it’s now an official one for Nintendo 3DS Daily. There’s also […]
As the years have gone on, it seems like a fair amount of reviewers have begun to get tired of Mario Kart. With all the other Nintendo series getting regularly changed up and gimmicks being thrown in all over the place, the Mario Kart series has begun to seem like a series which merely makes […]
As you may know, you have to get through the Yiga Clan Hideout to reach the Vah Nabooris Divine Beast in Zelda Breath of the Wild. And as you also might know, said mission involves stealth. Lots and lots of stealth, past dangerous enemies who can kill you one hit regardless of any fairies or […]
As is expected in a game as complicated as the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, there are many glitches that can get you out of bounds. There’s horse clipping, where jumping off a horse in front of a wall, then saving and reloading in mid air places you behind said wall. There’s Blood […]
As anyone who’s ever played The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild knows, the Sheikah Slate is a massive part of Link’s adventure. It holds the world map, as well as a way to warp between areas. It’s used for runes, like remote bombs and stasis. And with everything from cutscenes to Divine Beast […]
In The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, the Sheikah Slate has a feature called the Hyrule Compendium. This acts like a bestiary for the game, listing all the materials, weapons, enemies and other objects you encounter along with some useful details about them. Additionally, it also lets you track said objects by setting […]
Getting all the Korok seeds in The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is a right pain in the ass. You have to traverse the entire world looking for secrets. Complete numerous balloon popping challenges and boulder rolling exercises. And well, without a guide, it means you’re going to looking in every single patch […]
About a week or two ago, the Master Trials DLC pack was released for the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. This pack added in various new items and armour pieces, which were then scattered across Hyrule for players to find. However, their locations were actually quite cleverly concealed here. Indeed, in most cases […]
Having trouble with the bosses in New Super Mario Bros 2, however unlikely that may seem? Well help is at hand, since here is how to beat all the game’s different boss battles including the Reznors and Koopalings. Reznor There are lots of different fights with Reznor in this game, and truth be told none […]
