And hey— I recently wrote a *massive* retrospective on the series for @nfpublishing.bsky.social last month (with my review of Groove in the next issue). It's one of the biggest pieces I've done for NF and some of my games writing work i'm most proud of: www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/product/Issu...
Issue #84: A Summer of Surprises! – July/August 2026
The only thing that’s ever truly predictable about Nintendo is their unpredictability. Listen, a lot of us longtime fans and game journalists and “insiders” may claim to have the ability to anticipate...

Spending the evening with some #StarFox, #RhythmHeaven and #Splatoon thanks to @nfpublishing.bsky.social ❤️ Also, special callout to 𝐌𝐞𝐠𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐧: 𝐁𝐨𝐭 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲, Matthew Taranto’s upcoming Kickstarter book. Our community has been getting really excited about that one.
This take on the original Mega Man stage select screen was a fun spread to put together, though in hindsight I wish I had given each robot master their own dedicated spread/section. There's always Mega Man 2 to fix that.
I forgot to close that bracket…) AND we’re also on Nintendo Switch 1 and 2! Optimized for a stellar performance on both, to boot! @nfpublishing.bsky.social just gave us a 9.5/10 review in their latest issue?! 🤩🤩🤩 www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

😻💕 I'm IN LOVE with @softnotweak.bsky.social's Spirit Swap. It updates and expands the gameplay of my beloved Panel De Pon🌸 AND combines it with a queer witchy dating sim?! You can play as a whole polycule?!! Thanks @nfpublishing.bsky.social for the review cluing me in on this absolute delight! 💗

I am personally featured in this video as a reviewer who had an incorrect and incomplete opinion of "Nintendo's worst game ever" -- and I couldn't be happier about it! A great video that's worth your time to watch in full!

Anyone know where to get the original, highest resolution version of this amazing new Castlevania artwork? It's so much bigger than you see on most websites, with so much more going on, but this huge version I found is super low res,

Nintendo Force Magazine's review of Star Fox Zero, as printed in Issue #21: Lost in Untranslation – May/June 2016. Nintendo revealed the new Star Fox Switch 2 game almost exactly one decade after this Wii U sequel was released!

Right! I've overhauled NinDB's English language Shin Onigashima guide. As well as just being easier to follow, there are now sections for character origins, easter eggs and game over states. I worked really hard on this and I'm proud of it. Please let me know what you think!

Animal Crossing on Nintendo 64 launched 25 years ago today in Japan! Easily one of the most influential games of all time. Is the original website from 2001 still up? You better believe it. www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/soft...
Cool magazine covers…I’m not creative enough to design my own levels but playing the levels of others was mostly fun. A couple creators I found made entire games with levels not far off what Nintendo outputs.
If you're at #PAXEast this weekend, some of the @nfpublishing.bsky.social team, myself included, will be doing a meetup at 3 p.m. TODAY (Saturday) in the handheld lounge. Come say hi and chat about games with us!
