You can see the full statement below: We’d like to thank the Battlefront community for their overwhelming support and feedback for the STAR WARS™ Battlefront Classic Collection release.

Image: Nintendo LifeThis year’s MAR10 Day brought us the news that Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD would be spooking its way onto Switch on 27th June, so we knew it was only going to be a matter of time before the pre-order bonuses started popping up. My Nintendo Store UK has been the first to showcase its goodies today and boy are there some tempting bundles. Right off the bat is the standard bonus, a Polterpup phone ring which comes with all Luigi’s Mansion pre-orders. It’s pretty sweet (when is Polterpup not?) but the bundles are where it’s at — and…

Image: Nintendo LifeEurope’s next Nintendo Switch Online free Game Trial kicks off today and it is none other than Poncle’s devilishly addictive roguelike, Vampire Survivors. From today (14th March) until 23rd March, you can get into as much of the monster-hunting mayhem as you would like, for free! That is, as long as you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, of course. If you have somehow managed to last this long without picking up Vampire Survivors, we can’t recommend it highly enough. The game is a tough sell. It’s a top-down, pixel-art roguelike where you kill hoards of monsters with…

Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube761k Ready for some good ol’ relaxation? Well good news, because it looks like Coatsink’s upcoming Moonglow Bay has it in spades. Launching on the Switch on 11th April, 2024, the game looks like a cosy amalgamation of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Dredge, and The Touryst, The game is basically about fishing: you’ll be taking to the oceans to uncover its fish and mythical creatures, all the while upgrading your equipment, taking handy photographs, and help to restore the struggling town and its kooky residents. It definitely sounds like a more upbeat, relaxing version of…
Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube761k After being announced at the February 2024 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, we were eager to see how the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection would run on Switch.
