Nintendo is a Japanese video game company best known for series such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon and Splatoon. It makes its own consoles and subscription services, alongside publishing games for them.
Nintendo Life is a website that covers Nintendo games and regularly hosts weekend discussion threads where readers compare what they are playing. These posts often mix new releases, older games and games available through Nintendo’s online subscription catalogue.
Some of the games mentioned are established series, while others are newer or upcoming titles. Pokémon Bank is a separate online storage service for Pokémon games on older Nintendo handhelds, so its eventual closure affects players who use it to move collections between compatible games.
