Image: 505 GamesIf you’ve ever played a Suikoden game, it’s hard not to tear up at the opening sequence of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. It’s particularly hard watching this following the passing of series creator and the director of this spiritual successor Yoshitaka Murayama at the age of 55. Character montages, a swelling orchestra, sweeping shots over vast plains, mountains, and deserts, and battles between friends and foes – this is a snapshot of Murayama, and Suikoden’s, legacy. It’s impossible to separate Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes from its inspirations; Murayama, who formed Rabbit & Bear Studios to create this game,…
Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube761k The Switch is home to a boatload of ambitious ports and today another is joining the ranks. Kingdom Come Deliverance wasn’t in the best state when it launched on Xbox One and PS4 back in 2018, but there was still much to like. The question is, would the Switch see the same fate? To answer that (from a technical standpoint, at least) the experts over at Digital Foundry have offered their analysis of how the RPG runs on Switch. The result: ehhhh, not bad. For the most part, this is a port that has…
Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube761k Konami’s Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 wasn’t exactly met with universal acclaim from fans of the franchise (though we thought it was mostly “pretty good”), but that’s not stopping the publisher from promoting the collection at every opportunity. The latest video is a rather elaborate advertisement in which voice actor David Hayter, perhaps best known for his work on Metal Gear as Solid Snake and Big Boss, takes us on a brief journey through history as we dive into the classic Metal Gear Solid trilogy originally released on PS1 and PS2. All…
Nintendo Switch OLED – What Accessories Should I Buy? There are plenty of fantastic accessories for Nintendo Switch out in the wild, but our top recommendations – and ones that not everyone immediately thinks of – are eShop credit and a microSD card. By picking up some Nintendo eShop credit to go with your Switch console, you – or the recipient if you’re gifting it to someone else – can buy any games or digital packages available on Nintendo’s store as soon as it arrives. There are lots of different vouchers and price options available (sometimes at a discount), so…
Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)A few years ago, FuRyu released The Alliance Alive HD Remastered for Switch—an uprezzed port of a great RPG that was sadly missed by most due to releasing on the 3DS after most players had already moved on to Switch. Yet The Alliance Alive was not the company’s first release on Nintendo’s old handheld; that honor belonged to The Legend of Legacy. This initial release debuted to a divisive reception in 2015 (we awarded it an 8/10 in our review), but evidently the Alliance Alive remaster did well enough to warrant giving its predecessor a second…

Image: Riot GamesA recent datamine of Riot Games’ popular free-to-play shooter Valorant has supposedly revealed references to Switch. It’s led to speculation a Nintendo version of the game could be in the works. Some other theories suggest it might just be specific controller support for the game. Additionally, there are crossplay references in there and some other findings include evidence of Linux and Steam Deck versions. This was originally spotted by PC_Focus on social media. The competitive team-based FPS Valorant made its debut on PC in 2020 and draws inspiration from games like Valve’s Counter-Strike and Blizzard’s Overwatch series. Keep…
