[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.

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!

[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

[News] Mario Party 3 Is Coming To Switch Online!

  Another game for switch online is coming soon  source:  twitter.com/NintendoUK Over on Twitter, Nintendo have just announced that  Mario Party 3 is coming to switch online.

The update with this game will drop on the 27th of October.  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. Make sure you give this a try too it's a good way to practice th

This is very exciting news for Ys fans source: twitter.com/NISAinEurope Over on Twitter, NISA Europe have just announced that Ys X will be coming West this year . Specifically, they have stated that we can expect to be playing this new instalment of the Ys series in Autumn . The exact release date though is unknown. A limited Edition will also be available, though the details of this are also  unknown. Pre-orders are not up yet and there is no word on when they will go up yet, but we can expect it sometime soon.
