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 Majora's Mask DLC Will Definitely be Useful in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Can't we all just get along?
Over the past few days Nintendo has been publishing short articles from the team behind The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to outline the various backgrounds and uses for the armour items that'll be added through this week's DLC. This time it's the turn of series producer Eiji Aonuma to talk about Majora's...

Nintendo has continued its series of articles providing a countdown to this week's DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this time profiling Midna's Helmet. First of all, the helmet will allow for "Guardian Resist Up" in the game, which is always handy. One neat screen from the...

News Nintendo Outlines Pricing and Details for DLC in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Season pass costs more than the game
Considering the high marks set by Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem Fates, we have high hopes for the re-imagining / remaster of Fire Emblem Gaiden - Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. It'll offer some different gameplay approaches to the recent 'main' 3DS entries, all within that familiar art style...

Hard Mode! Travel Medallions! Tingle suit!
Much noise was made when it was revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would be receiving a DLC season pass, in a first for the Zelda series. Some were for, others against, but it would certainly be interesting to all to see how Nintendo would be handling the additional content. Not a whole...
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. It's a mode in which you can put your party up against others and, if you win the battle, earn some extra rewards. The good news is that the free content - which is exclusive...

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
Game companies don't always do a bang up job of promoting their games or pitching their merits, but a new trailer for upcoming Switch-exclusive DLC in I Am Setsuna is a pretty bad example. It may be branded a 'teaser', but see how much you learn from the video below. Coming soon...

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. Though this will be the game's debut in the west, it actually came out last year in Japan, and has since received a decent amount of DLC. For a while, XSeed seemed hesitant to bring this to the...
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"
One of the rather surprising announcements of last week was that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would be receiving some rather sizable DLC in the coming months after launch. Seeing as how this is more or less a first for the series, the announcement drew lots of debate over...
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

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. It's understandable why the concept is appealing - it's an app that promises a whole lot of tools for creating retro game art for maps, sprites, tiles and levels. There are then some...
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. We're still waiting for Monster Hunter Stories, for one thing, and it's unclear whether Monster Hunter XX (Double Cross) -...
News Minecraft Is Getting Fallout DLC And It's Coming To The Wii U

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...
