[Let’s Talk] Zelda: Breath of the Wild – The Master Trials DLC
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Wii U | 42 Comments
This week, Nintendo delivered substantial news about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s first wave of DLC. The debut pack, titled The Master Trials, is still on track for the summer.
There’s more to the DLC than originally announced. You’ll be getting a new Hard Mode, Trial of the Sword challenge, Hero’s Path Mode to track routes taken on the map, Travel Medallion for a designated warp point, and Korok Mask to more easily track Koroks. Oh, and a bunch of new equipment is being prepared based on fan-favorite games and characters including Midna, Tingle, Phantom and Majora’s Mask.
How do you feel about the DLC thus far? Is there one element of the pack in particular that interests you more than anything else? Or are you just feeling indifferent about it all? Share your thoughts with us below.

First look at the Risky Boots DLC in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 7 Comments
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero may have initially wrapped up a few months ago, but WayForward is far from finished with the game. The studio took to Kickstarter today and provided fans with a first look at upcoming Risky Boots DLC. Risky Boots will be receiving her own campaign this summer.
Here’s the full rundown:
A Brand New Adventure!
In this brand new storyline, you’ll play the role of Risky Boots as she travels to the four corners of Sequin Land in search of components needed to deliver destruction on poor Sequin Land. Risky Boots DLC is filled with new puzzles, new enemies, and a new End Boss…. (Any guesses who it might be?).
