Nintendo Life, the renowned publication and community hub for Nintendo fans, has announced an exciting new development for its video content as the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 era approaches.
Following the departures of Felix and Zion, viewers of the Nintendo Life YouTube channel will now see Mai Ladyman joining Alex Olney as a full-time video presenter, marking a fresh chapter for the site’s multimedia strategy. Mai Ladyman is no newcomer to the world of online video content.
With a background in engaging gaming communities, she’s poised to bring energy and expertise to Nintendo Life’s vast YouTube audience.
The announcement comes as Nintendo is expected to accelerate its transition towards the next-generation hardware, unofficially referred to as the Nintendo Switch 2. In a recent statement, Nintendo Life shared: 'We are thrilled to welcome Mai as a permanent member of our YouTube team alongside Alex.
Mai’s experience in video content and her passion for Nintendo’s most beloved titles will be invaluable as we deliver more in-depth coverage of the Switch 2 and all things Nintendo.' Mai Ladyman’s gaming tastes reflect the broad appeal of Nintendo’s library.
She names Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as standout favorites on the Nintendo Switch.
These titles, released between 2017 and 2022, have achieved remarkable milestones.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons, for example, became one of the best-selling Nintendo Switch games, with over 40 million units sold worldwide as of 2023.
Similarly, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been praised for reinvigorating the Zelda franchise, earning critical acclaim and a place among the top-selling titles for Nintendo’s hybrid console. While her core focus remains on Nintendo, Mai is also passionate about experiences on other platforms, citing Fallout 4—set for a release on Switch 2—as a personal favorite, along with titles like Baldur’s Gate 3 and The Last of Us Part II.
This diverse gaming background further equips her to connect with Nintendo Life’s cross-platform audience, especially as the Nintendo eShop expands its offerings in line with next-gen hardware advancements. As Nintendo ramps up preparations for the transition to Switch 2, content creators like Mai Ladyman will play a pivotal role in covering hardware updates, Nintendo Direct announcements, and new eShop releases.
Her addition underscores Nintendo Life’s commitment to high-quality, engaging coverage during one of the most significant periods in Nintendo’s modern history.
