[Thoughts] Ports I Would Like To See On The Next Nintendo Console


My picks for future ports

With Nintendo's next console in the distance I would like to talk about some of my hopes for this console. In this article I will be discussing 3 (technically 4) ports I would like to see at some time during the next consoles lifetime. For me, these are my most wanted ports, but there are other ports that I would like to see too. Something to note is that these are in no particular order and I generally would like to see them equally.

~ Xenoblade Chronicles X ~

This port is one I thought we would see on the switch for sure. I am somewhat glad we didn't though because I feel like visually there wouldn't have been much difference. With more power we would be able to experience this game in a much better way. I would want this port to add in many of features the definitive edition of Xenoblade Chronicles did. One of my biggest problems with the game was the map screen, hopefully this gets addressed too. I have also never finished this game and a port on the next Nintendo console would relight my interest in doing so. This port could be the perfect set up for the sequel, if there is going to be one that is.

Many people have been requesting this port for a long time. There are two things I want to say about this, firstly, I don't think they would release them together as a double pack and secondly, I am glad they also didn't release on base switch. This is for the same reason as Xenoblade Chronicles X, there would have been basically no difference in resolution and framerate. These two games are amazing though and I would love to see them ported on the next switch console. They already enhanced and added in lots of stuff from the base games so I don't think they would need to add or change much else. Though, I will say, the loss of the gamepad will be quite sad since equipping items with that was super easy and convenient.

~ Kid Icarus: Uprising ~

This game was originally for 3DS, so a port onto a home console would be great. It would be amazing to see the world of Kid Icarus in HD for the first time. Though the most vital thing about this port would be to fix the biggest issue with the game, the controls. I still have not played this game myself and that is entirely due to the controls. It's a shame this is such a barrier of entry because the world of Kid Icarus seems so lively and wonderful. Ever since maining Pit and Dark Pit in Smash Bros I have wanted to find out more about them but sadly I haven't been able to. Just like Xenoblade Chronicles X this port could set up a potential sequel and I would like to see that too as there are only two games including Uprising in the Kid Icarus series. 

Closing Thoughts

Those are my top 3 (technically 4) most wanted ports for the next Nintendo console. I would be very happy in any one of these becomes a reality. No one can easily predict what Nintendo are going to do so we'll have to see what they have in store for us with this next system. A port of something is always a given though as they have become so common now.

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[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...

[Thoughts] Post Game Content Is Awesome!

Post game content is something I greatly  appreciate in games ~Intro ~ Many games over the years have included post game content, it's a way to give more content to players who really enjoyed their time with the main game and were left wanting a little more. Sometimes it is in the form of a few bonus missions, while other times epilogue stories can happen. I will now give some examples of good post game content and discuss what makes them good. ~Dark  Chronicle~ The post game for this game is quite big. After the main story you follow the main character on another small adventure to a place called the Zelmite Mine. This mysterious mine is huge, forming the biggest dungeon in the game by quite a bit. This Dungeon even has multiple mini bosses, one of which being fairly important to the narrative. While the dungeon does require a little bit of grinding to be able to get through it, it isn't too bad and I never found myself having...
