[News] Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC Wave 4 Is Coming Surprisingly Soon!

Last night Nintendo dropped a trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The trailer showcases wave 4 for the expansion pass

This trailer gives us a taste of what we can expect to see in the DLC story expansion called Future Redeemed. Along with cast of new characters there are some familiar faces that Xenoblade series veterans will recognise. Future redeemed seems to be a prequel to the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Just like the Story DLC Torna the golden country was for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. From the trailer there are many questions I have about what is happening in the story and I am very interested to see where it goes.

Artwork of the main characters in this story DLC expansion can be found on twitter from the user @XenobladeJP. Here is the artwork for one of the main characters, Matthew.

As well as this, a relationship chart has been made to showcase the relationships between the characters of this story DLC. However, this is currently only in Japanese. It can be seen below.

During the trailer we also got to see some gameplay. In particular we saw some in combat gameplay. The combat looked similar to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 but there are some differences you can notice. The main difference you can notice is that there doesn't seem to be an interlink command, with it being replaced with something else. The thing that replaces it could possibly be a duo attack meter, as we see something like a duo attack later on in the trailer. These are likely to be very strong attacks and you can see they have secondary effects such as one of them causing the burst reaction on the enemy. There are two, what I assume, charges next to this duo attack meter as well. These remind me of the charges for stored uses of the special attack in the challenge mode gauntlet. So, I would assume, that is what they are.

Near the beginning of the trailer you could hear some funky music. This is one of the new battle themes for the Story DLC. This battle theme has been uploaded by Nintendo themselves. New Battle!!! is the name of the track.

You can find that here:

This trailer has got me very excited for this DLC and thankfully we don't have to wait long as it will launch in just a weeks time on April 26th in the UK (April 25th in the US).

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[Review] God of War (2018)

A near godly experience made slightly mortal by one glaring issue source: www.playstation.com ~ Intro ~ God of War (2018) is a 3rd person action game made by Santa Monica Studio. The game is currently available on both PS4 and PC. This title is sort of a reboot of the series with it taking a different direction from the traditional hack and slash formula of the original God of War games. I haven't played any of the other God of War games so this has been my introduction into the series. I have wanted try this series for a while, as I have seen good things about it. So, starting with this reboot felt like a great entry point. With that said though, let's get into my thoughts. ~ Positives ~ let's go over the positives first. To start with, the story of the game is good. This game's story is all about fulfilling a last wish, though there are many road blocks the main characters must face along the way. As I was playing I found myself intrigued to find out what would happe

This game is a N64 game so it will be available on the N64 app. This does mean you will need the Switch Online Expansion Pack to play it. The update with this game will drop on the 27th of October. Mario Party 3 is a great addition to the line up. The fact that it will have online co-op is a big change. Essentially though, Mario Party is about moving your character around a board with dice rolls, with the aim of collecting Stars. The player with the most stars at the end wins, it really is that simple. The most fun aspects to Mario Party games though are the mini games. Mario Party 3 offers a total of 71 mini games for players to enjoy. Something to note about this game as well, is that, it was the first Mario Party game to feature a story mode.
