Nintendo Insider began life in October 2010 and was previously called Nintendo Universe. The website covers Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and mobile content, as well as the Nintendo eShop and other digital services.
Our team is comprised of veteran journalists with decades of combined experience across outlets like IGN, GamesRadar+, RPG Site and PC Gamer. You can meet the team here.
Nintendo Insider isn’t just a news site; it’s a platform built by lifelong enthusiasts and professional critics. Our goal is to provide deep-dive analysis that goes beyond the surface level, helping the broad Nintendo audience – from competitive players to families – find the very best experiences the ecosystem has to offer.
Editorial Standards & Integrity
At Nintendo Insider, our mission is to provide the Nintendo community with accurate, timely, and unbiased reporting. Every article published on our platform undergoes a rigorous internal review process to ensure factual accuracy and clarity. We pride ourselves on our independence; our editorial decisions are driven solely by our commitment to our readers and are never influenced by corporate interests, advertisers, or external partners.
We value transparency in our reporting. When covering rumours or leaks, we clearly distinguish between verified facts and industry speculation, always striving to provide necessary context. In the event of a factual error, we are committed to correcting the record promptly with a clear disclosure of the update. At Nintendo Insider, we believe that integrity is the foundation of great games journalism.
Review Policy & Ethics
Our reviews are the product of exhaustive hands-on testing and critical analysis. To provide the most comprehensive coverage, Nintendo Insider often receives early access or review copies of games and hardware from publishers and developers. However, the receipt of a review copy never guarantees a positive score or favourable coverage. Our writers are encouraged to provide honest, critical, and consumer-focused evaluations based on their professional expertise.
We strictly adhere to a “no-pay-for-play” policy. We do not accept any form of compensation, gifts, or incentives in exchange for reviews. All scores on our 1-10 scale are determined solely by the assigned reviewer and the editorial team, reflecting a fair assessment of the game’s quality at the time of review. As a recognised publication on Metacritic and OpenCritic, we uphold the highest ethical standards to ensure our audience can make informed decisions with confidence.
What can I say. A very impressive site. I like the look and layout. Very clutter free and straight to the point. Very easy to know what your looking at. Sadly not the same cant be said about some other sites. Which direction has gone a strange route (I’m referring to an American site, not a european site).
Keep up the great work work and long may it continue.
Many Regards

I agree with you Michael. Staff, good job on the website itself. I just landed on it for the first time and I immediately thought “this is the cleanest Nintendo portal I’ve been to so far, it may become my go-to”. I’ll be back to check out the content.
