Only on the Italian version of the game.

We are used to finding game glitches at a pretty early phase in our playtime (heck, opening week for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet saw our Twitter feeds flooded with ’em), but this isn’t to say that there aren’t more out there. One such example has been brought to our attention today and it is, predictably, to do with Super Mario Sunshine.

Anyone who has played Sunshine is bound to have come across the odd glitch once or twice. Perhaps you saw Mario fall through a floor and plummet to his death, or maybe you found yourself leaping in and out of walls like Marvel’s Nightcrawler. Fortunately, most of these are at the ‘freaking annoying’ end of the glitch spectrum; the other end is reserved for those like the Gelato Beach softlock glitch which was recently demonstrated by YouTuber Gaming Reinvented.

Alear-ning curve.

Fire Emblem Engage has been out for one week now and it is fair to say that we loved it (it did get a 9/10 in our review, after all). While many of us who like to have our games in boxes found no issues with getting our hands on the physical edition, it seems that the popular demand of the title meant that not everyone has been quite as lucky, including the game’s lead voice actor.

Brandon McInnis voices the male version of Alear (‘The Divine Dragon’) in Engage. If you have played the game already or indeed watched anything from the massive pile of promotion that came in the run up to its release, then you will know that this is a pretty big part. The biggest part (if you play with a male protagonist) in fact. Yet the actor recently took to Twitter to share his difficulties in getting his hands on the game’s special ‘Divine Edition’ come release date.

Physical retail edition also confirmed.

Developer Giant Squid and publisher Annapurna Interactive have a treat lined up for Switch owners next week – announcing The Pathless will be coming to the hybrid platform on 2nd February. This title originally launched exclusively on PlayStation consoles as well as Windows and Apple devices in 2020.

The developer is the same team behind the underwater hit ABZÛ. In this new adventure, you take on the role of a hunter – a master of archery who will travel across a mystical island to dispel a curse of darkness. Alongside your eagle companion, your task is to hunt corrupted spirits as you explore misty forests, solve puzzles and engage in some epic battles.

Find out what’s changed behind-the-scenes.

Nintendo has today updated its Switch Online N64 library with the addition of GoldenEye 007. It’s also bumped up the app to Version 2.9.0 – so what’s changed?

As you probably know by now, the video game giant doesn’t normally share patch notes about these app updates. Fortunately, well-known dataminer OatmealDome is on the case – uncovering everything this latest update has to offer.

Seen it already? Watch it again.

The iconic first-person shooter GoldenEye 007 returns today after a 25 year wait. If you’re not familiar with the game’s history or are just curious to know more about this legendary N64 title, don’t worry – Rare has got you covered.

Back when it released its Rare Replay collection on the Xbox One in 2015, it actually prepared a short documentary about “the making of GoldenEye 007” – with hopes this classic might one day overcome licensing issues and see the light of day once again.

Running up that hill.

Now that the Japanese version of the remake of A Wonderful Life is out, we finally have our answer to the question “what’s up the hill?”

Double-0 WHAT.

Yesterday, Nintendo decided to drop a bombshell on us and announce that GoldenEye 007 is, at last, coming to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers this Friday, 27th January. What a treat! We’ve been waiting for this news since Nintendo revealed it would be coming to the service eventually.

Just a couple of hours after the announcement, Nintendo shared what might just be one of the most iconic pieces of music from the game — the Q Watch music by legendary Rare composer Grant Kirkhope. It still absolutely rules, but when we had a listen, we (and users on ResetEra) noticed something was missing…

From strategy tributes to puzzle RPGs…

With the closure of the 3DS eShop fast approaching, it’s got us feeling a little bit nostalgic here at Nintendo Life — particularly for games that we never got our hands on here in the West.

It’s a tale as old as time at this point. Many Japan-only games never get localised, and that’s been the case for a long time, but the 3DS has some truly special and unique titles that we’ve been begging for over the years. We’ve talked about Virtual Console games in Japan before, but now it’s time to look and pine after those that were available both on the shelves and on the eShop, but that we were never lucky enough to see get an official English release.

Cuddly on the surface.

CyberConnect2 has revealed that it’s bringing the surprise sequel to its hit RPG Fuga: Melodies of Steel to Switch on 11th May 2023 (thanks Gematsu!). Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2, and its predecessor, are part of the Little Tail Bronx series, and both games act as prequels to the PS1 game Tail Concerto and its DS spiritual successor, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel traded the previous games’ action-based combat for an on-rails turn-based take on strategy RPGs. The sequel uses the same system and looks to build on the same emotive story that the first game employed.
