Rocket League - Trying to get higher in diamond rank 3v3. Been watching SpookLuke's videos lately. It's helping. (I don't think I've gotten out of Diamond 1 in 3v3 solo queuing). It's amazing how fun this game is when you learn new stuff and take new skills into matches.
And probably some Splatoon 3 Salmon Run. Still plugging away for silver scales to buy a black slopsuit. I've got 42 silver scales.
@sixrings Splatoon 3 added the ability to save jobs from salmon run. Using the grizzco computer in the salmon run training room, you can save Jobs. I'm thinking, you probably can save a Big Run job, and play that via local wireless with friends? This is just a guess, though. I don't have experience with local wireless Splatoon, and it's the first Big Run. It may be worth a try.
I think the bigger missed opportunity, is when a game doesn't offer you the option to play as a male or female character. My nieces would love if Zelda offered a female version of Link.
I'll pass.
Free game offers like this have never yielded something I want to keep on the console. Also, I don't need the anxiety of having to get every game every 24 hours. "Missing a game will break the chain, and you won't be able to claim the next game".
I've wished onigiri (rice balls) were commonly sold near me in the US so I could try them, but nobody sells them around me that I've seen. (Well, I don't know if there's an asian market near me, but it's likely not convenient)
@Wylfen The article only says "post launch" with no date. That could me anything, unfortunately. Perhaps using the developer site's contact page, you can ask with an email. Ask for a release window.
I think my american dialect skews the interpretation since no one says "thank you" like that in the US. Two of those four reads really sound similar to F you to me.🤣 That's quite comical.
@romanista Conch shells are for free shell-out machine capsules. 1 Conch Shell = 1 Shell-out Machine capsule.
You will lose your unspent conch shells when spaltfest ends if you don't exchange them for capsules. Use them up! There's no benefit for saving them up.
(The game keeps track of your conch shells total for the week for calculating splatfest winners at the end of spaltfest. Your conch shell total is the same regardless of whether you spend them at the shell-out machine or not. So use them up! Free shell=out machine capusles!)
I'm tired of the underpowered Nintendo console business model, and tired of missing out on modern games. I want one console that can play modern games and Nintendo games. My money is ready.
@Fizza Russell T Davies returning & taking over is why I wanted to get last season over with. I think Whittaker could have been better with Russell T Davies or Steven Moffat.
Hmm, that new trailer looks like the game runs at 20fps in much of it, sometimes worse. I want it to run good. Totally interested if they get it to run acceptably.
After 2 generations of virtual console, I'm not sure I'll ever like nso games. And that's why I'll be pleased to never give them money for the expansion.
@LittIeZ You'll be fine. I think I got Splatoon2 four to five months after it's release. There's still two years of new periodic content updates for Splatoon 3.
Most played game on my Switch. The game didn't change at all since it went from pay to free to play. So, I've kept on playing it. I understand why people hate free to play, but there's no difference in the game. They got rid of mystery/pay loot boxes. I'd say that's a positive move.
The new G2 esports away-team decal is fresh. I got that for the fennec.
I had a good time playing the single player campaign in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2. I think it took me 10-12 hours? I'll probably get 3 if the single player is as good or better.
Did anyone praise the update as fixing the game? Nintendolife never even reviewed the update - I assume that was because the game didn't get a reliable or proper fix. (Correct me if I'm wrong) I wanted this game, but the technical issues scared me off.
I have nothing positive to say about the "two-tiered" company trend of the US. My company stopped giving pensions just before I joined. So, everyone else had pensions, except me and the new hires. Then they moved part of the company to mexico. Then sold off my part. Then I lost health insurance. All this, and the company wasn't even struggling. Total bs.

Rocket League. Trying to get back into diamond rank 3v3. And I'll pay some casual 3v3.

So only 1/3 of switch owners have NSO? I'm surprised by that.

Team Sonic is so confident in the switch version, they haven't given a review code for the Switch version. I think I know how this story goes.

Plenty of Rocket League playing Spooky Pumpkin mode. It's fun. Also Splatoon 3 - Salmon Run, maybe some turf war.

Re: Here's The Full Character Line Up For Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3

No black space suit from the end of the single player? Huge missed opportunity.
