[News] Overview Trailer For Splatoon 3's Side Order Is Live!


Side Order keeps looking better!

source: www.youtube.com/@NintendoAmerica

Over on YouTube, Nintendo have uploaded a video, which you can view here, giving us pretty much all we need to know about this DLC expansion. It goes into the structure of the DLC and the basics of how the DLC will play out. 

The DLC will take place at the Spire of Order and your aim is to reach the top, without failing. Should you fail you get sent straight back to the beginning in classic rogue-like fashion. Each floor will have three challenges the player can choose from ranging in difficulty and rewards. It's important to choose what you think will help you the most through this gauntlet. There seems to be many different types of floors the player can face each having different objectives. One of challenges being reminiscent of the 8-ball challenges from the octo expansion. Through this experience you are not alone though, you will have a companion in the form of Pearl... well a drone version of her at least. This drone can also be upgraded and enhanced adding another layer of customisation to your run.

The trailer also let us know the completion rewards. These will be alternate skins for the different weapons types already in the game as well as the gear the player wears in this expansion. I assume you unlock the clothes from your first clear, whereas the weapons will be unlocked by completing the mode with them. This is assuming you choose one weapon at the start and then you must use it the whole way through. 

This trailer has got me super hyped, even more so than I was before for this DLC. Due to the DLC's nature I am not sure how much story we will get through this experience but I am sure there is more we aren't seeing. I also want to shout out the visuals of this DLC it looks so good and I love how the ink looks and the colours they have available in this mode. As a reminder, February 22nd is the day it is going to release worldwide, so make sure to get ready for this challenging experience. 

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...
