Topic: Splatoon 3

@Grumblevolcano Finally I can get non-Bronze Scales... since my teamates don't want to win apparently...! LOL. I did just hit EVP 100... My highest score ever!

The current season ends in less than an hour.

I guess this marks a full two years of never landing a gold capsule from shellout machine.😆

I only got to level 83. I didnt' have it in me to grind for level 95 & the "Thank you for playing" title.

A few things notes about the new season:

• Sneak Peek for Grand Fest is now live
• Grand Fest related gear will be available via the Switch news system
• Drizzle Season 2024 catalog is identical to Drizzle Season 2023

The squid sisters and off the hook appearances were charming, but also kind of disappointing. They clearly had the idea of the old idols coming back for news reports, but just didnt fully implement it. Still, it was a really nice surprise. I cant wait for this fest to finally start! Crazy to think that its already been over two years since the start of splat3!

September's Salmon Run gear is the return of the Bream-Brim Cap which was the September 2022 gear so August 2024 was the last month of new Salmon Run gear.

@WoomyNNYes Ya ready to play with me?

Dang, I was going to pick team Present, but that white spaltfest Tshirt just seems weak. I think Future has the best T. Past has second best.

What team is everyone picking?

@WoomyNNYes Team Past!! Join us!

I actually dropped my Switch when Callie's name appeared during the Splatcast!

@WoomyNNYes I picked Past. Primarily because it sounds like the most promising future for Splatoon but it also fits my stance on the theme.

I picked future. Just because I want team past to win. I'm on a big losing streak at Splatfests. The decision was between present and future. And I picked the team with the best idol ever - AY! (Big Man!)

Anybody know about this new banner? It's new, right? Is it from a QR code on twitter/X, or an upcoming Switch News article?

@Croctopus Thank you very much! (oh, I think i was on vacation in july when nintendo live was in sydney)

@WoomyNNYes Nintendo Live in Sydney was this weekend (August 31st and September 1st).

@Croctopus Maybe an awkward side effect of the new season starting on a Sunday, that's never happened before.

Just picked my Splatfest team (Future) and played the game for a bit. Played a few Turf War matches and a couple Salmon Run sessions... but the latter is still really, really unkind to me. Anybody know what weapons are best for SR? I really want to like this mode, but it's always bad session after bad session on my end, unfortunately.

@Croctopus Yeah that news article has not appeared for me at all. I would've booted the game up that way by now.

@WoomyNNYes I picked Future since I like working towards it. It fits my personality the best I think. It's a similar reason to why I picked Bucket List for that apocalypse-themed Splatfest from earlier. I almost picked Past since I kinda miss being a kid, but Future was what I ultimately decided on. I like futuristic and sci-fi themes in general too. It's part of the reason why I like games like F-Zero, Metroid, and Mega Man.

@MarioVillager92 I ended up picking Present, even though I REALLY like the Future tshirt better. I had to force myself to pick something so I could start earning conch shells.

Grand Festival news article with downloadable gear went live in north america as of, like, 11pm to midnight.

Weird. It works a little different now. The download button boots up the game. I went to the lobby to confirm that the computer had a notification icon for receiving the gear, and turned off the game. When i booted the game back up, the notification icon at the computer was gone. I had to go back to the splatfest news article to use the download button to reboot the game. So, don't putt off getting your gear like me.😆

@WoomyNNYes Haven't received that one yet but I did receive a Big Run one which comes with a new slopsuit (Heavy-Duty Slopsuit).

EDIT: The Grand Fest news article is now up for Europe.

No offense, but EW! I would hate to play an online game if I am not playing real people! Now, if they added local multiplayer bots, so my and two friends could have a "full" lobby, fine, go ahead (But make it toggleable!). But please Nintendo... don't fill online matches with bots!

I wonder if we're done getting new SR suits that cost 150 silver scales? I'm sitting on 250 silver scales, but I still don't think I like any of the 150 silver scale suits better than my white suit. XD

@CaleBoi25 SO!?!? Did you get the "thank you for playing" title from the sizzle season catalog? Your splashtag title still says "X Battle Trainee". I decided not to grind. So, my catalog level was 85 went it ended.
