In the lead up to the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I went back and played all of the 3D Zelda titles I hadn’t actually completed: Majora’s Mask, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword. Though I wasn’t a fan of how the games became slower to start with each successive iteration’s expansion of boring tutorials, I enjoyed them all very much. I’d say Majora’s Mask was the best, followed by Skyward Sword, and then Twilight Princess (If that order triggers you, hold onto your butts, because this isn’t the most controversial claim I’m going to make).

Top 5 characters and stages that need to be Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe released recently, and all signs point to it being another huge win for the Nintendo Switch: It’s the fastest selling Mario Kart in North American history. The franchise has always been an evergreen product for Nintendo, one of those releases that will sell throughout the life of a system, which is why they’ve always stuck to one release per console. This has to make one wonder: What will happen in regards to a new entry on the Nintendo Switch now that it has Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
Personally, I feel Mario Kart 8 Deluxe should continue on as a service instead of moving on to a new entry for no real gain. Continue reading Top 5 characters and stages that need to be Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC

Hyrule Warriors DLC talk.
After watching Derrick of GameXplain stream a few hours of game play on Twitch, I have to say that Hyrule Warriors looks good. A lot of my fears were alleviated. However, a new can of worms has been opened.

I recently made a post about Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Sunken King DLC, and the topic of DLC is still fresh on people’s mind’s after the Hyrule Warriors Direct. Many people are complaining that it even has DLC. Well that’s a load of bull. Believe it or not there are good and bad ways to handle DLC.
A Review of Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Sunken King
The first of three DLC packages for Dark Souls 2, the Crown of the Sunken King primarily takes place the poison plagued, subterranean sanctum city of Shulva. While Dark Souls 2 may be looked at as inferior to the original, I never saw it as anything less than a stellar sequel, so my expectations for the Sunken King were high.
