We’re heartbroken to report that former Nintendo Life contributor Philip J Reed has passed away.<\/p>\n

Those of you who have been around since the days of the 3DS and Wii U will no doubt recall Philip’s incredibly tireless contribution to this website. During that period he wrote countless reviews and more than a few amazing features, making himself one of the key components of the site’s evolution during a difficult time in Nintendo’s history.<\/p>\n

It was Philip who reviewed such seminal titles as Shovel Knight<\/strong><\/a>, Crimson Shroud<\/strong><\/a>, Azure Striker Gunvolt<\/strong><\/a> and Project X Zone<\/strong><\/a> for us \u2013 all classic titles from a period when the 3DS became Nintendo’s most important platform.<\/p>\n

However, his talents weren’t limited to just critiquing games; he also penned a series of fantastic features for us, a selection of which you can view below:<\/p>\n

Philip’s love of writing led him to create some true epics outside of Nintendo Life, too, including an exhaustive retrospective on the original Resident Evil<\/a> for Boss Fight Books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Team Triple Jump, where Philip was a contributor at the time of his passing, has opened a fundraiser<\/a> for a charity that was very close to his heart. We’d urge you to join us in donating if you can.<\/p>\n
