Over on Twitter, Nintendo has just made a post informing us there is going to be a new Nintendo Direct. It will be airing June 18th @ 3pm BST. Nintendo has stated that this direct will be 40 minutes long with a focus on games coming in the second half of 2024. Nintendo has also stated the Nintendo Switch successor will not be at the show. You will be able to watch this direct, as always, on Nintendo's selection of official YouTube channels.

With the direct being 40 minutes long we can expect a decent amount of games and updates being shown. This year has been somewhat dry in terms of big new releases so I am excited to see what will be at this show. Whatever they show here will most likely be some of the last titles coming to the switch. There haven't been any notable leakers come out with anything recently so this show really will be full of surprises. Though, there is still the Fire Emblem 4 remake that was rumored a while ago, so we could see that finally, who knows.

I have only one personal wish for this show, that being, Zelda Oracle remakes. I haven't played these games the full way through and giving them the link's awakening treatment would be awesome and encourage me to finally finish them. It would also be cool if Metroid Prime 4 at least had an update, I'm not a Metroid fan (yet) but it would be nice for the Metroid fans.

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

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...
