Topic: Splatoon 3

@CaleBoi25 ya I tried that but still no update

Sorry, but WHAT ARE THESE PATCH NOTES!?! They changed nothing!!! I guess the splatfest changes are nice, and big swig needed a buff — but really? They couldn't change anything else? And the nerfs are so misguided. Enperry nerf? Reeflux nerf? No pencil nerf? Why??? I like the 52 gal one though. This patch is easily the worst one so far. If it weren't for Side Order, this season would look like a complete flop.

Huh, that's strange: I saw the 'successfully downloaded DLC' message pop up but I don't remember seeing a message stating it'll be unlocked for later use whatsoever. Where would I have to go in order to actually begin Side Order then? I saw in the patch notes that you would access it via the train station but I went there last night and it only gave me the option to go to Inkopolis Plaza 🤔

Can anybody tell... How do I know that the game has downloaded the DLC? Is it the version number? Or, where do I manually download the DLC?
I haven't seen the pop up. I'm not sure if I just missed it. And I can't download it anywhere on the eShop. So.. I have it already??? Help! 😅

@Budda Go to the eshop, select your profile icon in the top right corner, and go to the redownload tab. If Splatoon 3 is in the list, select the download icon (the cloud with an arrow pointing downwards). If Splatoon 3 isn't in the list, you've already downloaded it.

Do note that you won't be able to play the DLC until the 7.0.0 update goes live (likely in around 14 hours from now.

@Grumblevolcano Oh so the train station will allow us to go to Side Order once 7.0.0 comes out? I thought it was good to go after last night's download XD

SIDE ORDER TOMORROW!!!
I’m looking forward to seeing and comparing peoples different experiences as well!

I believe that side order releases at 1 am UTC so @Croctopus if you are in america then yes!

@BingleyBongley It seems they are doing one big patch and one small now. The mid-season patch they released in January was huge.

I know everyone is going to be busy playing Side Order, but just a heads up that a golden rotation/all Grizzco weapons with random Kings on Salmonid Smokeyard is happening this weekend. I don't think this will be one to skip, so at least try to force yourself to take a break from Side Order.

REPPIN INKOPOLIS GOT UPDAT]D HALLELUJAH!!

@CaleBoi25 I don't understand. What specifically is updated? What's different? (forgive my clulessness). Isn't "reppin inkopolis" an emote we've had for a while?

Side Order has arrived!

Just defeated the first boss! It was lit with some of the most bangin music I've heard in the series.

@vio
Is it released???

@JaxonH Yeah, i was surprised. It went live around 8pm or 8:30pm eastern.

Spoiler free post.

Ahh, that first boss is sick! I was skeptical I was going to like side order, played it for about 3 hours last night. It is pretty darn good so far. Ahh, new content!!<3

Oh, wait. The second boss battle was also delightful. Both bosses were delightfully fresh in their own ways. Enjoy them.

(Suggestion, if you haven't started side order yet: put on a favorite outfit before you get on the train to inkopolis for the first time if you want to make an ideal screenshot or clip during side order's opening. I had a lame outfit on, and regretted it. But this is a very minor issue.)

Are there any reviews out for Side Order yet?

Beware: youtube already has spoiler videos, like final boss. Although, I'm not going to touch them to confirm if they are real. I'll assume they are.

@jump Nothing on metacritic yet.

I have three weapons. How do I get more?
