[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!

Fully Charged: Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, Mario Kart World

Start of a new series! Fully Charged is a series in which I go over games I have recently played. Each instalment will release when I have played 2-4 games, updates or demos. With less time for this blog now, I won't be doing many, if any, full reviews. This series will instead cover the games I have played critically, in a mini-review format. Mario Kart World https://store.nintendo.co.uk This is the game everyone has been playing recently if they got a Switch 2. I want to start off by saying I quite like this game, it feels quite different from 8 in a good way. One of the biggest things I like about the games feel, is the control. Vehicles in this game do not feel as stiff. How could I not mention the wall driving and rail grinding too, those add a lot more depth to tracks and are very fun to do. The new knockout tour is a great addition to the series, I find myself playing these just as much as grand prix's. Free roam is quite fun, there are some cool challenges to do within ...

[Thoughts] Will Tears of the Kingdom have DLC?

  DLC for Tears of the kingdom could happen but I don't think it's likely Source: Author's edit I want to start off by saying I do not think this game needs DLC at all, though it would be welcome. Breath of the Wild had an expansion pass with 3 waves of content. Looking at the contents of that could give us an idea about what a Tears of the Kingdom expansion pass could look like. The first wave (Expansion pass purchase bonus) was available at the games launch and included the following: - 3 new treasure chests This was a very small wave featuring 3 chests of goodies. The biggest thing from this was a Nintendo Switch shirt link could wear. It was a nice little extra to start the game off with but definitely not the defining content of the pass. Moving on, The second wave (DLC pack 1) offered a lot more in terms of content, with it offering these following things: - Trail of the Sword - Master mode - Heroes path mode.  This wave offered many things to test the players skill...
