I am a huge Nintendo fan, hence why NintyBuzz exists. I especially love all things Zelda and Metroid. NintyBuzz was started by me back in the Summer of 2014, it started out mainly as a hobby, though the site has gradually grown, and I hope it grows for many years to come!
Independent game studio, 3DClouds, today announced a brand new title that aims to bring the golden age of piracy to Nintendo Switch, among other platforms, in King of Seas. This buccaneering action RPG will launch later this Autumn where you can expect to become immersed in a world full of pirates, seafaring battles, and even hidden treasure. Avenging the death of your father, you’ll embark on an adventure across a procedurally generated world fighting mighty pirates, sailing treacherous waters, and becoming the King of Seas!

Later today, at 6pm BST to be exact, Nintendo will be hosting a brand new Treehouse Live Event. During the live presentation, Nintendo will be showcasing some brand new gameplay from Paper Mario: The Origami King a week before it launches on Nintendo Switch. This will then be followed by a reveal and gameplay from a brand new third party title developed by WayForward from an IP never worked on before by the developer.

Many would probably tilt their head at the notion of puzzle games being involved in competitive eSports, but when the scene is filled with shooters and sports games, you can’t help but wonder if things are starting to feel a bit stale. Since PuyoGB was conceived after the the international success of Puyo Puyo Tetris in 2017, the group has lead the the UK’s community voice in bringing people together with the popular puzzling franchise. PuyoGB aims to work alongside tournament organisers, conventions, and interested sponsors to help bring Puyo Puyo and other similar games into the eSports scene.
Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, PuyoGB has struggled as offline events are not allowed for the foreseeable future. Despite this, the group will be holding a completely online puzzle game convention: Collision!
From the 8th to 16th August, Collision will hold a variety of tournaments and side-events to residents of the United Kingdom and Ireland in collaboration with Nintendo Players UK. There will be four main tournaments, as well as a week of side-events, some of which also have prizes up for grabs… oh, you may also see myself helping out with some of the events too!
Mario, pretty much everyone knows him; his games span nearly 35 years after all. During all that time, he’s been on plenty of adventures in some pretty weird and wonderful locales. Today, we bring you the first of our Top Ten series. I’ll be going through some of my favourite locations found in Mario games, in no particular order of course.
One of the Nintendo Switch’s first indie successes, Graceful Explosion Machine, is finally receiving the Super Rare Games treatment with a physical release. This intense arcade shooter will have you blasting your way through hordes of alien enemies throughout various planets, all while listening to a heart-pumping, synth-driven soundtrack.
This physical release comes bundled with a copy of the game, a full-colour manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and three cards chosen at random from a five-card set. Pre-orders open on the Super Rare Games website from Thursday 18th June 6pm BST, with the game releasing a week later.

To celebrate the upcoming release of Paper Mario: The Origami King for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Players UK is holding an exclusive art competition. Whether its cosplay, drawing, animations, or even origami, NPUK wants to see your imagination go wild.
Entering is easy, just submit them with a tweet, making sure to use the #NPUKPaperMario tag before 6pm on Saturday 11th July and you’re all set. The top eight pieces chosen by an elusive panel will then go up for a vote by the public, and the top two winners will receive a digital copy of Paper Mario: The Origami King. A third winner, chosen by Alex of Nintendo Life fame, will also win a copy, and five runners up will receive £20 eShop Credit each.
With nearly a month until Paper Mario: The Origami King launches for Nintendo Switch, more details about the upcoming title have been announced. King Olly has commandeered Peach’s Castle in an attempt to fold up the world. Binding the castle, massive streamers are sprawled across the land and it’s up to Mario to unravel them at their source.
The new trailer has introduced some new unlikely companions, including Bobby, a Bob-Omb suffering from amnesia, and Olivia, King Olly’s kind-hearted sister. The trailer also went in-depth on how the new ring-based battles will work. Mario can rotate rings and slide columns to try and bunch up enemies before the timer runs out. You’ll then have to decide which of your weapons to use to make the biggest impact.
Taking on the big bad bosses of the world, aptly named ‘The Legion of Stationery’, takes a slightly different approach. This time you’ll have to move the rings and columns to build a path for Mario to reach the boss in the centre. Having trouble? Depending on how many Toads you have rescued during your adventure may affect how much support they’ll provide in-battle. Always worth helping a little guy in need!
