Nintendo Life is an English video game news and review channel focusing on various Nintendo products and topics. In addition to news and review videos, they also make discussion videos, where they discuss what certain announcements could mean for the future of Nintendo products, and opinion video, where they share their subjective opinions of a game instead of an objective review.
History[]
Although the channel first joined YouTube on May 14, 2006, their domain name was first registered on October 29, 2005, and the first known archive of the website is dated December 3, 2005. The website began as a Nintendo news/blog site, and later expanded to include written versions of their reviews.
The YouTube channel was originally used to upload uncommentated videos of gameplay and game trailers. These videos would be used to accompany articles on the website. The channel began to move towards its current direction in 2014, though some videos would still remain uncommentated for a period of time.
