Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 'Second Wind' Expansion Mod Adds Age Of Calamity Boss And Mammoths

Posted: 22 Aug 2021 02:00 AM PDT

The "large-scale" fan-made DLC just got even better.

Nintendo is seemingly done with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild but that hasn't stopped the modding community from showing continued support for one of the best games available on the Switch and Wii U.

Earlier this year, an unofficial Breath of the Wild expansion titled 'Second Wind' was released. In case you missed our original post, it's a "free large-scale DLC" project made by "over 50 people" - featuring new quests, areas, weapons, NPCs and enemies. It also included overhauls to existing content and quality of life enhancements.

Castlevania Netflix Producer Files Lawsuit After Being Excluded From Spin-Off Series

Posted: 21 Aug 2021 11:35 PM PDT

Trouble is brewing...

There appears to be some drama surrounding Netflix's successful animated series Castlevania (again). Following on from the controversy tied to the show's creator Warren Ellis - who was removed from the project last year due to various allegations, the producer Adi Shankar is now making headlines.

Shankar seemingly won't be involved in the Castlevania spin-off based on Rondo of Blood. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a lawsuit has been filed on his behalf at the Los Angeles Superior Court - with claims fellow producer Kevin Kolde "concocted a scheme" to expand the series of Castlevania without Shankar's involvement and boost his own profits.

Feature: How Fire Tonight Took A Decades-Old Synth-Pop Song, And Made A Game Out Of It

Posted: 21 Aug 2021 10:00 AM PDT

Flamey-o.

Information Society in 2019, looking extremely cool

You might think that there would be more video games based on songs, and yet, there really aren't. At least, I can't think of any, but then again, I am writing this at 10am on a rainy Friday morning, so my brain isn't exactly at its peak.

Sakurai "Can't Count How Many Times" He's Thought About Quitting Game Development

Posted: 21 Aug 2021 09:45 AM PDT

"Making games is really tough".

Most Smash Bros. fans will already know how much effort game director Masahiro Sakurai puts into each title, but what's not been made quite as public is how often he's been pushed to his limits.

While on the subject of "retirement" in his part two chat with the Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada, Sakurai spoke about how he's thought about quitting game development on more occasions than he can remember while acknowledging how "tough" it can be.

Review: Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition - A Solid Plort Of A Superb Slime Sim

Posted: 21 Aug 2021 06:00 AM PDT

Your next farming Plort of call.

Upon hearing the title of Slime Rancher: Plortable Edition you might be forgiven for imagining a dozy, snoozy farm simulator that bears a striking resemblance to Stardew Valley with some Dragon Quest Slimes and a first-person perspective thrown in. If that's you, well you're only half right, or maybe a quarter right. Slime Rancher is a tricky game to pin in a single box; it's part Stardew, part Subnautica, and when you come across what few enemies there are, part DOOM Eternal. All right, we might be slightly overdoing it with that last one as all shooting is done to either feed things or lightly douse them in water, but we're standing by it.

You play as Beatrix, a new rancher of Slimes who has to make a go of this new vocation by selling nondescript consumable 'Plorts' that any and all Slimes produce whenever they're fed. Simple enough in theory, but there's wrinkles upon wrinkles to contend with that make things far more interesting than such a simplified explanation suggests.

Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 21st)

Posted: 21 Aug 2021 02:00 AM PDT

Go on, tell us...

Another week of 2021 goes zipping by like a zippy thing in Zippy Mode — a zip, for instance — and we can but look back on the events of the past seven days as events dropped into the fast-flowing river of Time. Treasured memories, like that time when some Nintendo fan turned their N64 into a Switch, or when the Special Edition Pokémon Dialga & Palkia Nintendo Switch Lite was announced — remember that? What about the time when Brendan Fraser was playing his Switch before meeting a fan over Zoom? All those moments lost in time, like tears in rain...

After a busy week it's time to chill out and discuss our weekend gaming plans. A few members of the Nintendo Life team have done just that below, so feel free to give our entries a read and then join in with your own via our comment section. Enjoy!
