Firstly, apologies for the break in live streams last week, ended up getting pretty busy with university. Never fear however, as I will be returning to you live tomorrow to stream some Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition on the Nintendo Switch.
The stream will go live from approximately 3pm BST on Wednesday 16th May 2018 on our Twitch Channel. The archive will then be uploaded to YouTube shortly after.
The Kongs are back in this remastered Wii U gem on Nintendo Switch. The Snowmads have taken over the island, turned it into their own frozen, tropical paradise, and thrown the Kongs out. Join Donkey Kong and the gang, including Funky Kong to save their island in Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for the Nintendo Switch.
Is Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze something to go ape for, or is it worse than a bruised banana? Find out in our review after the break!

Many gamers have been adamantly awaiting news that Virtual Console would be coming to the Nintendo Switch. For those who do not know, Virtual Console is a line of titles released on the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS which were essentially emulations of Nintendo’s retro catalogue, ranging from the NES to the N64.
Unfortunately, according to a Nintendo representative, we may not be seeing Virtual Console on the Switch at all… at least not in its current form. When asked by Kotaku regarding Virtual Console and the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo rep said the following:
There are currently no plans to bring classic games together under the Virtual Console banner as has been done on other Nintendo systems.
At first, it may seem like there is no hope for Virtual Console fans, however, from the wording, it may not look so dull after all. It seems that Nintendo may just want to distance themselves from the Virtual Console brand for the Nintendo Switch, after all, it was announced today that Nintendo Switch Online member will have access to an expanding catalogue of NES games. Who knows!
Starting September 2018, after a couple delays, Nintendo will finally enable the Nintendo Switch Online service which aims to provide a ‘feature rich’ and ‘affordable’ online service for the Nintendo Switch console. Nintendo has today announced some of the details which we can expect come September.
Firstly, the service will be much cheaper then its competitors (PS Plus and XBOX Live). Entry level membership for one month will cost €3.99/£3.49 (which is about the same price of Dominos’ Potato Wedges), three months will set you back €7.99/£6.99 (the price of a scrumptious waffle from Creams), and twelve months will be valued at €19.99/£17.99.
If you have family members which also want to use Nintendo Switch Online services on their own account, you can get a Family account for €34.99/£31.49 per year. This will allow you to use Nintendo Switch Online on up to eight connected Nintendo Switch accounts, even on different consoles.
Nintendo Switch Online members will also have access to an expanding library of NES games for free which have been updated to use online features, such as multiplayer and leaderboards. The collection will initially include 20 games, and more will be added on a regular basis.
At launch, previously announced games Balloon Fight, Dr. Mario and Super Mario Bros. 3 will be joined by Donkey Kong, Ice Climber, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Bros., Soccer, Super Mario Bros., Tennis and 10 others that will be announced in the future. The feature will also allow voice chat with the Nintendo Switch Online smartphone app, and will even allow players to watch their friends play single player online.
Most Nintendo Switch games will also allow you to save game data on the cloud with a Nintendo Switch Online membership. Never again fear about loosing or breaking your switch and loosing your precious save data, cloud saves are here.

Who knew that a company like Nintendo could get away with selling cardboard. Heres the thing though, it isn’t just any kind of cardboard, it’s Nintendo Labo. These kits allow you to make a range of different toys called ToyCons, you can then play with said ToyCons, then you can discover how they work and even create your own ToyCons.
Does Nintendo Labo provide more fun than cardboard should, or has it got less depth than flatpacked furniture? Find out in our review after the break!
