Video Check Out the Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns New Neighbors Pack DLC
New outfits! New dialogue! New events!
We thought Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns was an excellent game when we reviewed it, praising the laidback pace and the breadth of content available in the base game. Now, a decently sized expansion has been put out for $7.99 that adds a whole lot more on top of this, giving you more options for dialogue,...
News Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Champions' Ballad DLC is Set for a December Release
Just to end any lingering November hopes
Although the new Champions amiibo arrive this week, Nintendo has said little to date about the final part of the expansion pass for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Sure, we'll get a quirky Xenoblade Chronicles 2 costume crossover this week, but for many of us the real wait is for the promised

News The Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Ultra Challenge Pack DLC is Now Live
Time to buy the season pass?
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a bit of a gem, but beyond its core campaign it's also had a low profile 'Season Pass'. Though it's been available to buy from the front screen of the game since launch, it's had very little publicity. Up to now the only content available has been in the form of 'pixel' and steampunk...

Feature The Master Trials DLC - Rediscovering the Joy of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
And facing a big challenge
When Nintendo announced the Expansion Pass for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild there was understandable concern, especially as the company fell into the much derided strategy of announcing the plans well ahead of the game's release. The case wasn't helped, either, by the somewhat tacky initial add-ons in the form...

News I Am Setsuna's Switch Exclusive Update, Temporal Battle Arena, Arrives Very Soon
Gets a slightly better trailer, too
A while ago Square Enix posted a rather disappointing teaser trailer for the upcoming free update in I Am Setsuna - Temporal Battle Arena.

News Square Enix Promotes I Am Setsuna's Temporal Battle Arena DLC With a Vague Teaser
We bet it took a whole 15 minutes to capture footage and upload it

News XSeed Announces Story of Seasons DLC Localization Plans for the West
A happy ending
As some of you are no doubt aware, the latest entry in the "true" Harvest Moon series launches tomorrow as Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns.

News Bill Trinen on the Addition of DLC to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
"It would be a waste to just make one game and have that be it"

Talking Point The Zelda: Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass DLC is Both Surprising and Inevitable
Hands up if you expected that... erm, no-one?
In the 3DS and Wii U era Nintendo slowly adopted some modern trends, embracing necessity in order to keep games active and - in the process - make some extra money. DLC emerged in ho-hum form as 'Coin Rush' packs in New Super Mario Bros. 2 on 3DS, but then there was no going back. New Super Luigi U...
News Nintendo Confirms Expansion Pass DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
A first for the main series

Priced at £17.99 / $19.99, it'll include...
News SDK Spriter to Add New Level Modes in Free and Paid DLC
Platformers and turn-based battles on the way
SDK Spriter has been an interesting title on Wii U eShop, though it hasn't yet fought through our backlog for a review.

News Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) Will Have Sailor Moon Crossover DLC
Sure, why not
The Monster Hunter franchise is so prolific that Capcom has struggled to keep up with localisation to the West, or has simply been unsure of whether some releases will sell well outside of its home nation.

YOU GOT BOOST POWER
Has it really been nine-or-so months since FAST Racing NEO first graced our consoles?

News Yacht Club Games Reveals Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
That's the spirit
Yacht Club has been fairly quiet for some time now, and it's been easy to forget that Shovel Knight is still due to receive more free content.

Video This Fast Racing Neo DLC Footage Will Melt Your Eyeballs
Fresh from Gamescom 2016
Fast Racing Neo has to rank as one of our favourite Wii U titles and has successfully scratched that "F-Zero" itch - which is good, because Nintendo has shown very little interest in resurrecting its legendary anti-grav racing series for the modern age. If you've also enjoyed this superb title then you'll be pleased to know...
