It may be showing its age, but hey, if age isn't a concern for the dead, it needn't be for you either! [Issue #39 – May/June 2019, p. 22]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Ni no Kuni took a while to come to a Nintendo system in the West. But it's been worth the wait! [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 12SH]- Nintendo Force Magazine

If you want to settle back with a drink and a snack and enjoy a story that's equal parts salacious and introspective, this is one title I would highly recommend. [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 27]- Nintendo Force Magazine

One of the best multiplayer experiences on the Switch – if not the best! [Issue #35 – September/October 2018, p. 24]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Each of these games is an excellent individual effort and would be well worth revisiting alone. All together, for the equivalent of a few bucks apiece, the value is incredible! [Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 28]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Super Meat Boy is a nearly flawless example of 2D platforming design, able to stand toe-to-toe with Mario's finest. [Issue #22 – July/August 2016, p.20]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Nobody Saves the World takes the joke a little too far, forcing the player to go through the same motions over and over, to the point where it feels like the game is laughing at you, rather than with you. [Issue #63 – January/February 2023, p. 19]- Nintendo Force Magazine

It's a testament to how compelling Loop Hero's core gameplay "loop" is that you never feel punished by putting in the extra time as long as you're in the right headspace. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 17]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Even with its narrative failings, I consider my time with nirvanA Initiative well spent. Whether or not it surpasses the original is entirely down to personal preference, but either way it's a must-play for both veteran and budding visual novel aficionados.

Splatoon 3 went live in September, and ever since it launched I've had to will myself to stay away from it. I'm a grown man with a family! I've got a lot of responsibilities! So why do I keep feeling compelled to stay up into the wee hours of the morning shooting virtual ink at strangers? [Issue #62 – November/December 2022, p. 74]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Splatoon 2 looks a bit like a paint-by-numbers sequel ... but there's more than meets the eye here. [Issue #29, p. 67]- Nintendo Force Magazine

If you dare to step inside the Pocket Dungeon, I'd recommend an extreme degree of caution and being prepared to dial the difficulty down right away. [Issue #57 – January/February 2022, p. 22]- Nintendo Force Magazine

All told, this is the biggest, most well-crafted, funniest and, in some ways, most emotionally potent game from Yacht Club yet. [Issue #45 – March/April 2020, p. 20]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Triangle Strategy may take itself a touch too seriously at times, and not all the characters deliver a backstory worth listening to, but its strengths lift it far above its weaknesses. It's not the second coming of Final Fantasy Tactics, but it deserves recognition for what it is: A truly fine turn-based strategy RPG. [Issue #59 – May/June 2022, p. 71]- Nintendo Force Magazine
