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

If you've been hoping for a return to the strict, truly strategic old-school Fire Emblem way – the way the Japan-only games played years ago – you'll find it here. [Issue #20 – March/April 2016, p.75]- Nintendo Force Magazine

I'll have to ding it a point due to the control issues, but the game itself is near perfect. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 21]- Nintendo Force Magazine

All in all, there may be some call for a bit of complaint here, but not much. The promise of 48 new tracks for $24.99 works out math-wise to just 52 cents per track, and I just can't see how anyone could argue the value of that! [Issue #59 – May/June 2022, p. 19]- Nintendo Force Magazine

New Pokémon Snap isn't totally perfect, but it is a lovingly, intelligently updated take on a now 22-year-old original that only came to life because it was imbued with Mr. Iwata's magic. I know seeing this sequel would have made him smile. [Issue #53 – July/August 2021, p. 69]- Nintendo Force Magazine

While it may not have much replay value, the experience and dialogue of Knights and Bikes packs a punch. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 21]- Nintendo Force Magazine

All in all, Zero 2 is a well-crafted sequel that actually feels like the sequel it's meant to be. [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 18]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Even if shoot-'em-ups aren't normally your thing, Fantasy Zone is definitely worth forking over the cash to check out. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 22]- Nintendo Force Magazine

While Sega Ages: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 isn't the best version of the game you can play, it is nevertheless the best version you're going to find on any home console today. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 23]- 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

Traveller's Tales has outdone themselves with this new LEGO Star Wars. Their attention to detail and wide variety of activities, coupled with the expansive environments, makes for a fun-filled return to that galaxy far, far away. [Issue #59 – May/June 2022, p. 75]- Nintendo Force Magazine
