All you need to know inside
Resident Evil 6's first trailer certainly got our attention, and now Capcom has followed up with some details about the game's setting, characters and all-important controls.
In Fire Emblem 3DS, Death Isn’t Always Permanent
11:00 at nintendolife.com
The Fire Emblem series is probably best known for its "when it's gone, it's gone" approach to units: if they die in battle, they're gone for ever. That's not the case in every Fire Emblem game though: Japan-only DS remake Fire Emblem: Hero of Light and Shadow let you turn this feature on or off, and that option returns in the forthcoming Fire Emblem: Awakening on 3DS.
Another month, another milestone.
Today I got a quote and my name in a press release for the first time. For the truly dedicated readers out there, here’s the press release in full:
Nintendo Life unveils redesign and enters PlayStation sector with Push Square
Loughborough, UK, 13th February 2012: Nlife Ltd is proud to announce that Nintendo Life, the world’s largest independent Nintendo-focused website, has undergone a major face-lift to cement its position as the world’s leading destination for Nintendo fans.
The latest update builds upon an existing well-loved design and adds HTML5 support. The site has been refined to make browsing Nintendo Life’s world-beating archive of news, features and over 2,100 reviews easier and more enjoyable than before.
The major upgrade comes hot on the heels of the Nlife Ltd’s acquisition and successful relaunch of Push Square earlier this month. With 500 reviews and 10,000 news articles in its back catalogue and now the guidance of the Nlife team going forward, Push Square is poised to become a major player in the global PlayStation space.
“It’s great to finally see Push Square and the new Nintendo Life design go live,” said Nintendo Life Managing Director Anthony Dickens. “We’ve been working on these updates for some time; our site’s readership has grown exponentially over the past few years and we hope they’ll love the new layout as we progress with more updates and features in 2012.”
“I’ve been a fan of both Nintendo and PlayStation for many years,” said Network Editor James Newton. “I’m really excited to lead the team into a new era of game coverage: with Vita and Wii U both due out this year it’s set to be a great 2012 for gaming, our network and our readers.”
Nlife has also entered into a partnership with Eurogamer Network to handle the advertising sales for Nintendo Life as well as the newly relaunched Push Square. Rupert Loman, Managing Director of Eurogamer added: “We’ve been really impressed by the Nintendo Life team and what they’ve achieved so far. We’re looking forward to helping them maximise their success with both sites.”
