Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit – What’s it all About?

Though it’s been just over a week since Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit launched for Nintendo Switch, there still may be several of you who have yet to get some proper hands-on with it. That’s where we come in. We compiled a cool little video that will take you through some of the cool features the game has to offer, from set-up, all the way to course customisation. Don’t forget, our review of the title will go live within the next week so be sure to keep an eye out for that too!

OPINION – Mr. Fuego’s Nintendo E3 Predictions!

The most exciting time of the gaming calendarĀ is here; it’s E3 Predictions time! I have 12 predictions lined up, and hopefully at least a few will be correct. Wait, who am I kidding? My predictions are 100% accurate! Let’s GOOOOOO…!

New Animal Crossing —Ā Wii U

NB_Banner_Animal_Crossing

I think a new Animal Crossing titleĀ will likely beĀ announced forĀ Wii U. It’ll run at 1080p, 60fps (okay, they probably won’t mention this, but if ANIMAL CROSSING can’t manage itĀ nothing can). Honestly that would be all I’d need to know, but I think to entice more players they just might go a little further. So what’s different from past games? I think it might be expanded online support with big online features.

Star Fox Online Competitive Multiplayer Shown!

NB_Banner_Star_Fox

We all know Nintendo are going to showĀ theĀ new Star Fox game at E3, but I think there will be more than just a single player mode shown. I predict we’ll see an online multiplayer mode too! After all,Ā Tadashi Sugiyama and Takaya Imamura, theĀ producer and director of Steel Diver Sub Wars are producing/directing Star Fox along with Miyamoto — and I have a reliable source on that! WIKIPEDIA! Undeniable!

New Metroid —Ā Wii U and/or 3DS

NB_Banner_Metroid

I thinkĀ a new Metroid titleĀ is very possibleĀ this year. So far Metroid games have been played from either a 2D perspective (most games), or inĀ first-person (Prime games). But that doesn’t mean it’ll always be that way.Ā In 2012 Miyamoto said “the kind of ideas I have on Metroid [are reflected in Metroid Blast].” — a game played from a third-person perspective. Traversal is a major theme in Metroid games, and a third-person perspective would mean the precision and feel of Samus’s movement could be improved. So IĀ think a third-person view is reasonably likely, too. And if that’s right, Platinum are revealing somethingĀ this year…

Zelda Wii U Mentioned

NB_Banner_Zelda

Nintendo may have said Zelda Wii U won’t be in their Digital Event, but I see through their lies. I’m predicting it’ll be mentioned! That’s right, MENTIONED! Hah, I see through your lies Nintendo! Bold Prediction, right? Wait, that doesn’t actually contradict what they said? Oh… Okay, I predict Aonuma will pop up to talk about it… briefly. I’m not exactly expecting much from Zelda, but they can’t just ignore it.

PokĆ©mon Game With Amiibo Support —Ā Wii U and/or 3DS

NB_Banner_Pokemon

PokĆ©mon Amiibo are pretty much useless in anything but Smash Bros., despite being one of Nintendo’s most beloved brands. But they’ve got to be used for something, right? I predict Nintendo will show a new PokĆ©mon game at E3, launching alongside a fully-supported “PokĆ©mon”Ā line of Amiibo.

Something First Party & Exciting — 3DS

NB_Banner_3DS

The 3DS’s 2015 lineup has beenĀ pretty sparse so far. In terms of new first-party retail games there has been… one?! Something exciting’sĀ gotta be announced at E3. I’m just not sure what it could be. I’m expecting and hoping the next main series PokĆ©mon will be announced and released next year, it’s too soon for Zelda, and there’s already been a new IP gamble for 3DS. There has to be something bigĀ here for 3DS fans, and it’ll be excitingĀ to findĀ out what it is.

A Lot More Third-Party & Exciting — 3DS

NB_Banner_3DS_3rd

Monster Hunter. Yokai Watch. The Great Ace Attorney. Bravely Second. Dragon Quest VIII. There are quite a fewĀ third-party 3DS games that have a strong chance of showing up, even if Nintendo don’t have anything exciting themselves. I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of future 3DS titles are Japanese third-party & ported titles. Wii U needsĀ strong first-party support, but 3DS can survive with less, meaning Nintendo can gear up game development for their next system instead.

Xenoblade X Release Date

NB_Banner_Xenoblade_X

Xenoblade X will get a release date. I predict November. I’m excited. That’s it.

GameCube Virtual Console or Remake

NB_Banner_GCN

We’ll either get a GameCube remake, or finally get GameCube games to download, methinks. Something GameCube-ish. Depends on whether it’s possible to getĀ GameCube games to work withĀ the GamePad, really. GAMES. Mario Sunshine is my bet for a remake.

Club Nintendo Replacement/Better Account Features Mentioned

NB_Banner_Account

Existing owners of Wii U and 3DS know how bad the account system is, so this would bizarrely be a really exciting announcement.Ā Making accounts more user-friendly with features like cross-buy and linking-downloads-to-your-account-so-if-your-system-breaks-you-still-have-access-to-them would not go unnoticed by fans. I don’t think they’ll go to deep into their new online system, but I think it will be at least mentioned.

Smash Bros., Splatoon, & Mario Kart 8 Content!

NB_Banner_Ryu

I think we’ll get new DLC Content for Smash, Splatoon and Mario Kart 8. I’m not sure what will come to Splatoon and Kart, but Street Fighter music files were found in Smash 3DS update data back in April, and they’re pretty much confirmed to be real at this point. I predict he’ll be revealed on Sunday’s Smash Bros. Presentation (which was correct! (I wrote this on Friday)). As for returning characters, I think Wolf will be shown at the Digital Event, and Roy might show up alongside Ryu on Sunday. I also thinkĀ new, unseen stages are likely to show up.

Wait, this was already announced today (and caused some server problems in the process)!

New Retro Studios Game, Not Metroid — Wii U

NB_Banner_Retro

Personally I’d like to see Retro tackle something new and let another team work on Metroid, and actually think that’s fairly likely.Ā Either way, I’m certain Retro will show their newest game this year. It could be a new entry in any number of Nintendo series, or even a totally new concept.

So there — those are my predictions for this year’s Nintendo E3 Presentations! You can post yourĀ ownĀ in the comments, if you want. I don’t really mind. Nope, doesn’t bother me.

NintyTalk – Buzzing Revival

Well, we have worked hard (mostly) over the weekend for this and weĀ are now ready to reveal… well, what we have been working on, obviously!

Anywho, we are happy to announce NintyTalk! NintyTalk is a brand new feature in which we will have a spontaneous discussion on recent Nintendo and other gaming news. As this is still very early days, so we may be a bit rusty (heck, we’re very rusty) but hopefully, the more we do, the more we should improve.

Now, in this instalment of NintyTalk, we’ll be discussing the NintyBuzz revival, Xenoblade X Mini-Direct, Smash Bros. DLC, Mario Kart DLC, Zelda Wii U Delay and Project Ukulele!

Please tell us what you think of this episode and how we could improve. See you next time!

FAN CONCEPT: Mario Kart 8 Competition Winner!

With the brand new Mario Kart 8 DLC being released yesterday, we thought it would be a good time to announce the winners of our Mario Kart 8 Track Creation competition which ended at the end of October.

We got several entries and each one was absolutely fantastic. The three entries which made it to the final judgement were very close, so close that without the third judge, we wouldn’t be able to announce the winner today. Only one person can win the eShop credit however.

Find out who won after the break!
