[Thoughts] What Will The Next Generation Nintendo Console Launch With?

I will share what I think could be coming to the launch line up of the new console

Word has been going around a lot about this new Nintendo system recently. The most common idea seems to be that it will launch in mid-late 2024. I can use this supposed launch window, and previous launches, to help inform my decisions for the line up.

To start off, I think it is almost guaranteed that the next Nintendo system will launch with a 3D Mario game, possibly odyssey 2, who knows. We know for sure it won't be launching with a new Zelda so this is another big title Nintendo can have to boost the initial sales. With that big game, I think we will see a few other smaller/third party games. One of them could be a new IP like 1-2 Switch was. This is most likely because they will have a new big feature they want to show off, having a custom made game for it. I do think we may get a remake or remaster alongside this new console too. The Fire emblem 4 remake that has been rumoured could fit this bill. The rumoured F-zero remake/remaster could also be another option.

Some people may think that Metroid Prime 4 will be a launch title but I really don't think it will. I do think Metroid Prime 4 will be on Nintendo's next system now. However, I don't think it will be too close to launch, as they will want to build a bit of an install base before dropping this title. Besides, I think the rumoured Metroid prime 2 remaster will probably come out before Prime 4 does anyway.

So, with that said, I think the next console will launch with about 4 games. One big title, two smaller titles and a remake/remaster. I would be completely fine with this line up of games especially if we do see one of those remake/remasters alongside it.

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

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.
