In under a month, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions will be released for the Nintendo 3DS. A remake of the original Superstar Saga on GBA, it promises to update the title for an all new generation, with improved graphics, music and gameplay elements to make it feel just as modern as its […]
When it comes to gaming journalism, ethics are generally lacking across the board. We’ve seen writers fired for giving negative reviews to heavily publicised games. Websites have exchanged great scores for early access (as seen in the Drivergate scandal). And well, if GamerGate proved anything, it’s that a lot of journalists seem to band together […]
As you may have realised by this point, there seems to be a tendency for Nintendo games to leak online early. It’s happened to every Pokémon game known to man, with internet users getting both X and Y and Sun and Moon way before their intended release day. It’s happened to Paper Mario Color Splash, […]
A few days ago, we posted about a golf game on Nintendo Switch. This game (which is a port of the NES Golf title with Joy-Con controls and multiplayer), was found on the system with no apparent way to access it. As a result, we speculated it was there for testing the classic games service. […]
With Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon fast approaching, it’s easy to forget that events are still happening for the original gen 7 games. After all, the new titles have the new Ultra Beasts we saw announced and Marshadow has already been distributed in a decent part of the world. What’s event left to see […]
Over the years, 3D platformer levels have generally gotten bigger and bigger. You had Super Mario 64, with fairly compact stages where everything was within walking distance. There was Rare’s N64 games, where levels were enormous to the point they often needed the Expansion Pack to run at all. And then where games like Yooka-Laylee […]
Ever since Dusk Lycanroc was revealed, we’ve been getting more and more information about the differences in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. We found out that existing Pokémon have new forms and Z-Moves. That additional areas would be added to the game: Heck, we even got a surprise when new Pokémon were announced as […]
When it comes to strange hidden content in video games, there’s almost no end of crazy examples. You’ve got Mario Kart Arcade GP, which has photos of a hostage crisis on the disc. There’s GoldenEye 007 with its built in ZX Spectrum emulator. Heck, there’s even an old Datel mini game collection with a pirated […]
With many people buying games digitally, file size has been an increasingly important concern in the world of console games. It’s why modern video games using 50+ GB of space has caused quite a bit of controversy over the last few years. Or why Gears of War 4 being more than a 100GB in size […]
A few days ago, a very interesting Mario Party game was announced during a Nintendo Direct. This title (called Mario Party the Top 100) is a collection of the best mini games from the series, along with a board map mode seemingly styled after the original games. It’s a great idea, and despite a poor […]
Over the last few years, PewDiePie has become an increasingly controversial presence in the world of gaming. As one of the most popular YouTubers in history, he’s always been a polarising figure, but his recent actions have sparked off quite a bit of offense across the board. Like when he hired people on Fiverr to […]
Given its importance and upcoming release date, it’s no surprise that Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions would get a video in the recent Nintendo Direct. After all, it’s a major 2017 Nintendo 3DS game. As well as one we’ve still not seen a lot of footage for. And what do you know, […]
Nintendo Directs are all about surprises. They’re not about the major games you know of in advance, but about the ones you never expected to see become real. The Mario Party and Metroid 2 remakes. The Hyrule Warriors style game with Fire Emblem. The new Yoshi game you never even knew was in development prior […]
When we heard a Nintendo Direct was being presented yesterday, we had a fair few ideas in regards to what games would be featured. There was Super Mario Odyssey, which everyone expected given Nintendo based the entire event around. There was ARMS and Splatoon 2, which almost everyone expected to see updates for. And then […]
As you likely know by this point, the next DLC pack for The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is being released in the 2017 holiday period. This pack will include new armour, a new storyline, a new dungeon as well as various other additions to keep it interesting. But it won’t just include […]
Over the last few years, we’ve seen a lot of fan projects get taken down by companies like Nintendo. There was AM2R, which was taken down prior to Samus Returns being announced. There was Project M, which suspiciously ceased development in late 2014. And with everything from Super Mario Bros X to Pokémon Uranium being […]
While Super Mario Odyssey was the main event, the recent Nintendo Direct didn’t just focus on that game. Instead, it covered a wide variety of titles for the 3DS and Switch alike, showcasing everything Nintendo had planned for 2017/early 2018. One of said inclusions was Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon, which got a new trailer […]
It was the promise that drew everyone to the recent Nintendo Direct. The main focus that Nintendo would base much of the presentation on. In other words, the stakes were high for this game. If Nintendo didn’t deliver an amazing trailer worth watching, the Direct would likely fail with it. Which is why I’m happy […]
Well, it’s that time again. Nintendo’s holding a major Direct, and we’ve decided to liveblog about it from the site. This time it’ll be focused on 2017’s Nintendo games, with Super Mario Odyssey being the centre of attention. And well, with 45 minutes of content… it’s gonna be great. New title reveals, Mario Odyssey gameplay […]
Late last year, the NES Classic Mini was all the rage. A redone version of the original NES with thirty built in games, the system offered better quality gameplay than the Virtual Console ever could, and ended up becoming a huge phenomenon the minute it hit the market. Unfortunately, it was also rather difficult to […]
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 […]
