Like Disney remaking all of its old animated movies into live-action versions, Nintendo has slowly been remastering all of its old Zelda games to bring them to new audiences — and to remind old audiences why they loved the games so much. Unlike Disney’s live-action movies, though, the Zelda remakes are fantastic, and now that Skyward Sword HD is out …
Image: Nintendo We’re all another seven days older and in the past week we’ve seen (among other things) a bunch of leaked early designs for the Wiimote, possibly the rarest e-Reader card in existence sold for a five-figure sum, Nintendo announce three more games for its Nintendo Switch online SNES library, and Square apparently wondering if players would really be …
© Nintendo Nintendo is in a particularly strong position in the games industry at present – it’s a hugely popular, talked about brand, and the company is still selling tens of millions of systems each year that – by this stage – will be increasingly inexpensive to produce.

Over the weekend our lovely folk in the video team posted a detailed chat, above, asking a simple but intriguing question — “Why hasn’t the Metroid series traditionally sold well?” It’s a good question, and it feels like one with a lot of varied answers. Let’s summarise a few, before shifting to a fully optimistic outlook on the upcoming Metroid …
Another week, another addition to the Nintendo Switch family. Yes, we all got a little post-E3 surprise drop (surprise might be a bit generous, to be honest) in the form of the Switch OLED announcement. It elicited a variety reactions from existing Switch owners and Nintendo fans, although none so passionate as the response to PokéGymDad who plays his Switch …
It’s time for an embarrassing admission: I apparently use TikTok so much that the app’s UI has burned into my phone screen. But let me just redeem myself a little: I don’t have the kind of For You Page (that’s TikTok’s algorithmically-generated stream of content) that’s full of viral dances and teen boys being kinda creepy, although I do enjoy …
© Serenity Forge Another week in the world of video games has come and gone. This week we saw Nintendo acknowledge an evergreen meme, we learned that a ‘realistic’ F-Zero was on the cards at one point, and Nintendo dodged a bunch of questions at a shareholder Q&A (the respondees also revealed their favourite games). It’s now time to unwind …
