[Thoughts] My Hopes For The Final Wave In The Booster Course Pass


There is now only one more wave to go and there are still quite a few things I would like to see

source: mariokart.fandom.com

The previous wave, wave 5, launched just last month with two new cups and three characters. It was a fine wave but this final wave needs to be better so the DLC can end with a bang. There are several characters and tracks I would still like to see in this game. We know that we will get 8 tracks as usual and this time it will be two characters that will be added. So, with that said, let's get on to what I am hoping for.

~ Tracks ~

To start with, I will talk about some of the tracks I would like. The track I want the absolute most is Airship Fortress from Mario Kart DS. This track is so cool from the music to the visuals to the actual track layout, it was a full package. The track itself is very memorable, from it's bullet bill dodging at the start to the spiralling slope at the end. This track has a good chance of getting in with it having a tour version and being one of the remaining stand out tracks from DS.

Another track I would like to see for sure is Toads Factory. This track was very chaotic for it's moving parts and conveyer belts, it made for a lot of fun. I do think this one has less of a chance though, as I don't think they will include it over some of the other remaining Wii tracks like Rainbow Road. As well as this, it doesn't have a tour version they can use as a base. 

The last track I would like to see is N64 Bowsers Castle. The atmosphere of this track was unparalleled. It was also quite a tricky track with many obstacles in the way, making for a good cup closer. This one also doesn't have a tour version though, while Frappe Snow land does, making that a bit more likely. This is especially the case, as this wave may release near Christmas and Frappe Snow Land perfectly fits that season.

~ Racers ~

As for racers, the first one I really want to see is Diddy Kong. I am still really surprised he wasn't in the base game of Mario Kart 8. Then I was even more surprised he wasn't added in the initial DLC or in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. So for him to then miss out on the DLC for deluxe I feel would be a big shame. I feel Nintendo has to put in Diddy or at least Funky Kong into this next wave for sure.

The other racer I would like to see is R.O.B. This robot buddy was in Mario Kart DS as an unlockable character. It was cool to be able to play as R.O.B and with them being in smash many people are aware of them. I think they would make a good addition to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but probably had more chance in the earlier slots.

~ Closing thoughts ~

The DLC has been pretty good so far and I hope they are able to end it off well. I would be happy with even just one of these things I have mentioned making it into the game. I look forward to finding out what this last wave has in store for 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

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.

This is very exciting news for Ys fans source: twitter.com/NISAinEurope Over on Twitter, NISA Europe have just announced that Ys X will be coming West this year . Specifically, they have stated that we can expect to be playing this new instalment of the Ys series in Autumn . The exact release date though is unknown.
