[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!

[News] New "Hype trailer" for Summer Game Fest goes live

Summer Game Fest gets new video source : twitter.com/summergamefest Summer Game Fest hosted by Geoff Keighley will be live this Thursday, June 8th as announced a few days ago. The event will be streamed everywhere @ 3pm ET / Noon PT / 9pm CEST. Currently, other than a showing for the recently revealed Mortal Kombat remake, there are no details as to what to expect from the show. However, in a follow up tweet to the video post, Geoff states we will find out soon. In that same reply he also says what you see in the video is not indicative of what we will or won't see. So it serves as just a little mind refresher for some of the new games this year. Link to the video can be found here SGF video I will be watching this event, but I will have my expectations set very low. Previous summer game fests have not been that interesting so I expect this one to follow suit. Though, with E3 not being a thing anymore offici...

[News] Another game comes to Nintendo Switch Online!

Another game is now available for Nintendo Switch Online members source: twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that another game is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes 1 GBA game. The GBA game included in this update is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. The GBA app does require the expansion pass tier so if you have it you can enjoy this game. This game will be available from August 9th. For more information on the game click this link: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team I haven't played Red Rescue Team, but I have played Blue Rescue Team and loved it. They are essentially the same game just Blue Rescue Team was on the DS. Both aren't coming together as we sadly don't have a DS app. I hope people who have the expansion take the time to try this, as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, while a bit repetitive in gameplay, bring a lot more interesting narratives than mainline Pokemon games. That's it f...

[News] Grand Festival Announced! (Splatoon 3)

Nintendo has just announced the last? Splatfest! source: x.com/NintendoAUNZ Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has just posted the details of the last? Splatfest for Splatoon 3. It is a very special Splatfest with it being called the "Grand festival". For this, it seems all three idol groups are against each other taking one option each. The question being asked for this is "Which is the most important to you?". The three options are past (Squid Sisters), present (Off the Hook), or future (Deep Cut). The Splatfest will be available for 72 hours rather than the usual 48. It will start Friday the 13th of September @ 01:00 am until Monday the 16th of September @ 00:59 am . We don't know much about the fest itself but it's safe to assume it will have all the same things as a special Splatfest and more. In the trailer, we do get to see the three idol groups in special costumes, as well as hear a new collab song between the three idol groups. However, that's pre...
