@Finrod According to the chart, without Bolson's discount the cost is 50,000 rupees instead of 3,000, which translates to 51,637 pounds. It's funny that the article failed to mention that instead it gave us the chart that may be hard to read on mobile devices.
@bimmy-lee The title just says "Super Mali Brothers". It looks like a simple roll-and-move type of game in which depending on your roll, you're asked to move forward/backward X spaces or lose a turn.
@Blizzia Have you tried Salmon Run? I'm a SR-only squid now and I haven't seen a single hacker in that mode yet (probably since all human players are fighting against AI there's no need to hack), and the difficulty above Profreshional 400+ is just crazy and satisfying af.
But what can Nintendo do though? I thought all the hacks were originated from the existing NVIDIA chip vulnerability that no 'stability' update could patch it? (I have little knowledge in this area, and don't really want to know anyway.) Other than outright banning the offending console I can't think of any effective anti-cheat measures.
@Caittiecat @Pod @MH4 It's not an uncommon practice to model a character after its voice actor, so it may have been deliberate. Like Shark Tale.
@Savino Ouch, too much salt and you're gonna get dehydrated!
@Heavyarms55 That'd be hilarious but won't happen. For this splatfest all Team Squid members will forced to become Inklings, and Team Octopus become Octolings (during a match). You'll revert to whoever you were once you exit the lobby.
@TheOpponent I disagree. One needs concrete proof to accuse people of hacking, and this is unshakable proof versus exiting the first second (people would say they edited the video). Besides, exiting will be penalized as ragequitting thus affecting their score (even though it's an unfair hack). They did the right thing by recording the full evidence and raising public awareness.
For those who already cleared the game, make sure to beat all 80(?) subway missions to unlock the hidden ULTIMATE fight. I'm not there yet, but players with all-Rank X have told me they couldn't beat it the first time!
The in-game hero mode preps you for online and I feel that OE already assumes you're experienced in Rank. As both were built around the online premise, for it to be a standalone 1P I think they need to fill in the gap somehow. More tutorial stages (that let you fill up and use Special gauge)? AI co-op missions? Something. As it stands it's a very meaty and affordable DLC but incomplete as a 1P product.
@Saego My first impression as well, and I would've given it a 6/10 if that's all in OE. But fret not. Great Nintendo IPs are known to break first impressions with their wicked twists and turns.
Spoilers: The subway mini-game levels are [REDACTED]. Once you [REDACTED] (à la Portal 1) you'll agree that OE truly earns the 9/10.
@Octane To you as well, what you seek is in [REDACTED] of the game.
@Dom
In your article, it's not 'Kugel Shriver' but 'Kugelschreiber', German word for ballpoint pen. That thing looks exactly like a multi-color retractable biro.
And instead of 'Hotel New Otolo' I'd expect it to be romanized as "Otoro", but since the name's going to change anyway I'll let it slide.
@ThomGee You are correct, the official name is Rapid Blaster Pro Deco. Instead of "Pro" it's called "Elite" in the Japanese version (Rapiddo Burasutaa Eriito [Deko]).
@MH4 did you actually participate — as in pick a side and battle at least once? If not (like my Salmon Run only sub account), no rewards.
Also obviously, you need to get online to receive it any time between now and before the next splatfest announcement, as rewards will get discarded by then.
@RyanCraddock "消毒" does not mean "infected", but actually "disinfected" or "sanitized" (or sanitised over there?).
There are already wiki entries for "Sanitized Octarian" and it's the same concept. Please revise your article.
@GloverMist Since they're in fact "disinfected", I'm guessing this time around some mad Inkling scientist managed to cleanse or "anesthetize" Octarians into doing their bidding?
@rjejr Sponges are already a staple in Splatoon 2 multiplayer, and all the other gimmicks (invisible surfaces, cannons, grapplinks etc) are randomly featured in a special stage during Splatfests. And you'll never know how fun the co-op (Salmon Run) is if you don't buy it!
@NapalmPsalm I think this DLC is exactly made to teach players how to properly play the other modes. I personally hope there'll be Salmon Run tutorial for special (night) waves. I don't want to see any more of them headless inklings leading Grillers all over the place.
@EasyDaRon I see this expansion as this game's attempt to coach rookies in how to play the other modes efficiently. As hero-mode is just a tutorial, so is this being an advanced tutorial. I still see teammates not knowing how to use their specials so this looks like a wonderful teaching material. Hopefully there's also a single player salmon run-esque level with Grillers and Motherships etc so that we don't run into clueless squids not knowing how/when to use their Sting Ray.
@Francema Definitely! I was over the fence until one of my friends nudged me into buying it, and have never regretted since. I'm not too fresh about combative league modes, but the co-op mode Salmon Run is just so delish!
It's probably just a new league mode as depicted in the latest Corocoro magazine leak. A new emblem that looks like a squid arrow with a single eye pointing northwest has been revealed. The "shock the world" phrase was indeed on the cover of Corocoro itself, but should not be taken literally. It's just a hyped up claim/catchphrase the manga magazine often uses.
@thiz The game-changer is in the league battle mode where there are objectives to meet and blind invasion won't work. Like sending a trojan tower to your foe's base — just killing people and defending your side won't win you the game, instead you must clear a path and advance the tower to secure a victory. Also there's a co-op mode called Salmon Run that hooked me in: Kill enough bosses and deposit eggs to reach quota while surviving the time limit with your team. Spraying ink around without killing enough; kill many bosses but not meeting the egg quota; or die without being revived (like the way you described the game as "spray, invade, die") won't work.
It's a fun competitive strategy game through and through and that's the appeal, that's the hype.
@DarthFoxMcCloud @0muros If Japanese Splatfests are any indication, a 51%-49% split could actually mean 50.10%-49.90%, difference of a mere handful of wins. (Japanese Splatoon twitter account always reveals two decimal places) Meaning it could have gone either way for this NA fest.
Yeah, no surprise there. It's still the active number listed in the current NA consoles. I'm with @PLATINUM7 in thinking that they simply have a troubleshoot manual for all past consoles.
It was a fun read, but the Japanese version includes cute accompanying illustrations which are not in the translated versions. I grabbed some screenshots and here you go. https://imgur.com/a/gOFei
@quinnbad It'd be nice, but Danny already said he wasn't interested (forgot the source but I saw it in one of the comments here) so I'd rather someone enthusiastic voice him.
@MoonKnight7 It'll be touched upon but not right of the bat. In fact all talking Pokemon are explained or implied. Meowth in the anime taught himself human. Most of the movie hero mons speak in telepathy (including Ash's Pikachu in Movie 20). And the Mystery Dungeon games where you (a human) got turned into a Pokemon thus understanding their language.
The first reaction I had after reading the article was "Well, who's to say they won't properly bring it back and advertise it in July 2018 with a 5.0.0 update?". Opened omamoris CAN be replaced by properly returning it to the shrine, after all
@Bengals76 You have to be Level 10 or up to unlock the Ranked Mode which contains 4 types of games, namely Tower Control, Rainmaker, Splat Zones, and Clam Blitz (they're on rotation). So keep playing the online matches if your level's not there yet. And have you tried Salmon Run? Oddly enough I don't think I'd ever get burnt out by it. The squidbag (or squidbang) party after a successful final wave is so satisfying!
As @RupeeClock said, this is mild compared to Pokemon Pocket Monsters featuring Gary grabbing Ash's exposed private "Pokeball" by mistake. Both are considered harmless laughs in Japanese standard.

If you understand Japanese, Bunny clearly says the memory of the 3DS console is the limiting factor, and (in red text) NOT about retiring the game. Even if they wanted to add more, they could not, as it would ruin people's save data for those who aim to complete every set.
The way @MitchVogel wrote this article is misleading. Like @Paddle1 said, the reason is not because they are retiring the game, but simply because of 3DS save data limitations. They cannot cram in any more new badges or Arcade Bunny's speech patterns. After May 26, content will be repeated.
Huh? ...Oh, maybe I'm so used to visit only the 3DS pages (all my bookmarks are on the 3DS section) that I didn't notice a color change. I've seen red all the time I wasn't aware of the blue at all.
@maceng Holiday shoppers + price drops/promos + resellers hoarding units and selling on ebay for ridiculous prices + Nintendo not increasing production + Pokemon Sun/Moon = lack of stock
Now we're over 50,000. IF (and a big if) we can gain 10,000 for every 6 hours, and as there are 290 hours left, we would have 290/6*10000+50000=533333... oh no, I'm not optimistic either!
To everyone, don't just use any random QR code or generator. Use the one Mega_Yarn_Poochy provided as that's the only way to halve the wait time, giving you two scan chances instead of one in a day.

@SniffitisWhiffit IIRC the option will only show up on international islands (not your own or your friend's). You'll see it on the bottom-right of your touchscreen when you're inside the hut. Unfortunately rascals may still block the island box, preventing you from putting your catches or souvenirs :/
@Nintenbomba128 It's the nude pictures that got Nintendo Japan in trouble, and genital doodles were not as severe, albeit still wrong. They must have weighed the pros and cons and felt more comfortable with the free-to-start model and the timing of 3DS (is it on its end-of-life? Just my speculation). At any rate I'm glad Nikki's back.
@DragonEleven Pay no attention to the Pokémon Go bit. It's just saying some Pokémon found in GO have different forms in SM, which they could've just said "Gen I".
@Piersen Ah yes, it'll be explained . Without spoiling anything, let's just say there's only one clause in the Defense Culpability Act, and it's NOT "you automatically receive death penalty if you attempt to defend someone". It says something else, and enough to cause the problem we see.
@Piersen The vision of the deceased (seances) is always true and is established in the demo. Rayfa's "prophecy" or rather her own interpretation is not. The seances may be ambiguous, so it's up to Phoenix to provide an alternative interpretation of what the vision actually meant. Khura'in's court fortunately still cares about logic and facts, and will listen if Rayfa's prophecy is proven to be not making sense.
@TeslaChippie Megamix contains three large "segments" plotwise, and you are still in segment 1. You'll find your original uncut "ba-bam-bam-bam" in segment 2 or 3, which one I forgot.
@Seacliff Pocket Monster is only used in the game titles now. Right off the bat the games will say "it's abbreviated as Pokemon" and use the term Pokemon for the rest of the games. Everything else (card games, merch, events...), just Pokemon.
@GloverMist You just answered your own question. Frankly I think everyone should switch to the American format. So jarring to see 911 written as 11/9, and it aligns with the ISO format of YYYYMMDD.
And yeah, while facebook is a pain in the ass as trolls can report your normal posts for nudity and the mods will start asking for a photo of your ID (!) which means no fake/alts, for Twitter anyone could just make a fake/alt.
@TimLatshaw How do you "leave that without any mention" though, especially in a pronoun sensitive language as English or Spanish? In Japanese, "Love (aishiteru)" is a complete sentence, but in English, it's gotta be "I love you".
Leaving he/she out won't work. "International prosecutor in Kurain Kingdom with a devout belief in (whose?) religion." Another alternative is to use the singular "they", but grammar nazis still don't like it. You just can't get around with these type of things in a natural way.
@CB85 It's really hard for them to localize Great Ace Attorney just because they can't pretend it's Japanlifornia anymore. If they were to change Ryunosuke's last name from Naruhodo to Wright, they'd just create a historical error since Japan didn't allow foreign immigrants that time (as in how the hell would the "Wright" family line, a foreign sounding surname, be there). Payne wouldn't work either. Not to mention there's an English/Japanese/Russian plot trick in there. All and all I think it's more excusable for them to NOT localize Great Ace Attorney this time.
@felix330 Did you read the rules or not? "These codes will not work in Europe or Asia." You in Europe can't download it even if you get a code. Blame Nintendo for setting up this region lock thing.
@roro26 I consider that cheating, but why tell us? :V
Note that SmileBASIC isn't just retro BASIC circa 1970. It's modernized and some C++ components are in there.
@mystman12 I agree with everything you said. Imaginary Like button clicked.

Re: The My Nintendo Rewards 'Missions' Show What's Needed to Earn Freebies and Discounts
@GloverMist You just answered your own question. Frankly I think everyone should switch to the American format. So jarring to see 911 written as 11/9, and it aligns with the ISO format of YYYYMMDD.
And yeah, while facebook is a pain in the ass as trolls can report your normal posts for nudity and the mods will start asking for a photo of your ID (!) which means no fake/alts, for Twitter anyone could just make a fake/alt.
Re: Famitsu Reveals New Rival for Ace Attorney 6
@TimLatshaw How do you "leave that without any mention" though, especially in a pronoun sensitive language as English or Spanish? In Japanese, "Love (aishiteru)" is a complete sentence, but in English, it's gotta be "I love you".
Leaving he/she out won't work. "International prosecutor in Kurain Kingdom with a devout belief in (whose?) religion." Another alternative is to use the singular "they", but grammar nazis still don't like it. You just can't get around with these type of things in a natural way.
Re: Famitsu Reveals New Rival for Ace Attorney 6
@CB85 It's really hard for them to localize Great Ace Attorney just because they can't pretend it's Japanlifornia anymore. If they were to change Ryunosuke's last name from Naruhodo to Wright, they'd just create a historical error since Japan didn't allow foreign immigrants that time (as in how the hell would the "Wright" family line, a foreign sounding surname, be there). Payne wouldn't work either. Not to mention there's an English/Japanese/Russian plot trick in there. All and all I think it's more excusable for them to NOT localize Great Ace Attorney this time.
Re: Giveaway: Grab Yourself a Free Copy of Cube Life: Island Survival
@felix330 Did you read the rules or not? "These codes will not work in Europe or Asia." You in Europe can't download it even if you get a code. Blame Nintendo for setting up this region lock thing.
@roro26 I consider that cheating, but why tell us? :V
Re: Review: SmileBASIC (3DS eShop)
Note that SmileBASIC isn't just retro BASIC circa 1970. It's modernized and some C++ components are in there.
@mystman12 I agree with everything you said. Imaginary Like button clicked.
@Yosher People might tell you that BASIC isn't really useful or used, and they may be right, but you can still develop awesome games like this with this app. https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHksGOfT8w
@TerrapinJess For just 10 bucks you can create and download unlimited games from the others! Best deal on 3DS.
