My views on paid DLC vary quite wildly. It really depends on whether I see it as something that genuinely enhances the game in hand, or whether I see it as something that’s been scrimped from the original release and used to simply fill the coffers of the developers. It also takes some getting used to that Nintendo have embraced the model at all, yet here we are with the first element of the expansion pass for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild; The Master Trials.
This week we have a plethora of releases and bits; four titles hitting across the West, one a North America only affair, and two hitting only in Europe – as well as some free DLC, and a rather delectable demo.
Today’s Nintendo Direct has gone over all the game’s bit in detail, and has revealed even more about the game in the run up to release.
Nintendo UK and Nintendo of Europe have announced the release date for the neon green/neon pink Joy-Con package, and it’s not too far off the game it matches.
This week we get yet another NEOGEO Classic with Magical Drop II, but we also get GoNNER and the first bit of Breath of the Wild DLC. Nice!
New characters, stages, accessories, battle rules, and more have been added in the latest update to this Nintendo Switch title.
Nintendo has issued another update to their most recent Mario Kart experience – fixing some of the things that might have been nagging you, and adding some things it’s been missing.
As a company, Nintendo has a history of innovation – both good and bad. Their consoles have been trying new things since long before it was ever popular to be the odd one out (VirtualBoy), and they’re still doing it right up to this very moment. One of their latest innovations is ARMS; a fighting game where your arms are basically springy noodles and you’ve got to reach for your opponent. That sounds like a crazy, gimmicky mess – right? Well the joke’s on you, ’cause this “crazy, gimmicky mess” is more fun than a whole bin of fireworks.
The complete RPG for your Switch?
Grab a hold of this new update and fill your game out a bit – even the scratchy edges.
