Nintendo has just shared a video providing all the information for wave 6 of the DLC

This video gives us all we need to know about wave 6 of Mario Kart Deluxe's Booster Course Pass. We already got to know which characters where joining in this wave through the Nintendo direct but we didn't get to see anymore than one track. This video let's us know all the tracks that are coming in this wave. On top of this, it tells us the exact date this update will drop, which will be the 9th of November.

Here are the tracks in this wave:

Rainbow Road (Mario Kart Wii)
Madrid Drive (Mario Kart Tour)
DK Mountain (Mario Kart Double Dash)
Daisy Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)
Piranha Plant Cove (Mario Kart Tour)
Bowser Castle 3 (Super Mario Kart)
Rome Avanti (Mario Kart Super Circuit)
Rosalina's Ice World (Mario Kart 7)

As a reminder, these characters are coming in this wave too:

Diddy Kong
Funky Kong
Pauline
- Peachette

There is a decent mix of games featured here. I will outright say, I am quite sad we didn't get airship fortress from DS. The lack of Toads factory also hurts but daisy circuit and rainbow road are both great Wii picks. While I would have preferred the N64 bowsers castle instead of the Super Mario Kart version, this one does seem like they are making it more interesting than the original version at least and the music for the stage will most likely be great. Rosalina's Ice World is a really cool pick though, I haven't played it but have heard many like the track. DK mountain is also a huge fan favourite too, and while I would have preferred Dino Jungle this is nice too. The city tour tracks don't seem the most interesting but tour tracks are always cool because of the changing laps. Piranha plant cove though looks quite interesting for a tour track, I look forward to trying it. Overall, despite me not getting my two most wanted tracks, it's looking like a pretty good wave to end off with. Especially with the addition of 4 characters this time, which feature many fan favourites.

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...
