GK Review: New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

Our reviewer Joe has taken a closer look at the new Nintendo Switch game, “New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe” which is out now! Can it beat the Wii U version? Here’s more: Besides one-and-a-half new playable characters, NSMBUD (oof that’s a mouthful) throws in all of the fantastic Luigi and Nabbit DLC, which reworks the entire game into a frantic sprint to the finish on each level. ...[Read More]

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Review

Deluxe: The Wii U had some of the best entries into any given Nintendo series – so much so that it was an absolute crime it didn’t sell better than it did. Nintendo, to their credit, have been showing everyone what they were missing out on, re-releasing some of the best Wii U games (and consequently, some of the best Nintendo games) on their much more popular Switch console. New Super Mario Bros. ...[Read More]

GK Review: Super Mario Party

Our reviewer Joe has taken a closer look at the new Party game for your Nintendo Switch, “Super Mario Party“. More: Super Mario Party feels like a winner straight out of the gates. It gets out of its own way and presents you – and any mates you have with you at the time (don’t worry you won’t have them for long) – with your first board game in minutes and before long you’re off, gettin...[Read More]

Super Mario Party Review

It’s-a-party-time: I feel like Mario Party lost its way throughout the ten games that preceded this one. As the numbers crept up the games felt a little bloated and confused, oftentimes wasting far too much of your time as you tried to screw over your friends and ruin relationships. I’m pleased to say that Super Mario Party is a fantastic return to the series roots, where the acts of playing minig...[Read More]

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Review

The Leader of the Bunch: Donkey Kong Country Returns was a game I never thought could recapture the DK magic from the golden era of platformers. I was wrong. I didn’t make the same mistakes doubting Tropical Freeze when it debuted on the much maligned Wii U a few years back – I knew we were in for something special. I am thrilled to report that the inevitable Switch port is even more fantastic. St...[Read More]

When he arrives in Ryme City looking for his missing father, little does Tim know he would meet a Pikachu, but mo...[Read More]

Detective Pikachu Review

Elementary my dear Goodman: After seemingly hundreds of games starring the little electric mouse we’ve all grown to love, he finally has a voice. Pikachu, the surprising star sleuth of Detective Pikachu, is a different beast to the excitable, high-pitched incarnations we’ve seen before. Here he’s a sarcastic, world-weary detective and somehow – against all the odds – it just works. Story: Tim Good...[Read More]

Kirby Star Allies Review

Kirby: “Kirby Star Allies” is a very typical Nintendo game – cute, fun and polished to the nth degree. It doesn’t do anything new but, then again, it really doesn’t need to. The Kirby formula of sucking things up and stealing their powers is as fun here as it’s ever been, and whilst it never reaches the highs of Return to Dreamland, it’s still a stellar instalment in an absolutely char...[Read More]

Mario Party: The Top 100 Review

Let’s Party: ‘Mario Party‘ became a very special property to a very select group of kids growing up. Anyone who still fondly remembers the holes they burnt into their palms playing Mario Party on the ’64 can count themselves as part of that exclusive club. I was pretty excited to see a compilation of Mario Party’s best minigames – especially when I got a code just before I headed home ...[Read More]
