WoomyNNYes

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.

@Deltarogue Oh, I forgot that Deep Cut will likely get amiibo. Good point!

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.

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

Works for Firefox(PC), too.

However, it doesn't appear to work for Firefox on android tablet.

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.

Empty boxes will deceive so many parents disappoint so many people and presents.

Oh, look at the more realistic denim wrinkles on Mario.

But both of those lynels are at the coliseum, not gerudo. No sane person is edging a Lynel from gerudo to the coliseum.

@Bunkerneath I'm curious if your last shrine will be a puzzle or one of those Major/Minor "Test of Strength" guardian battles.😁🤣

@Browny "contracters" = no full time benefits. It's like being a temp.

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.

This is amazing!
😁😁

Assuming The Spirit and the Mouse is currently in the works?

Still waiting to see what gear they come with.

Shiver is my least favorite of Deep Cut, but I picked Gear.

@dartmonkey Ah, excellent. Thanks for clarifying. Thanks Gavin!

I approve of the sharp threads @AlexOlney.

@Fizza Yeah, we need that black space suit! That clear/rainbow-diffraction space helmet thing is sick. (I'll buy the nfc card version)

Im not feeling the three teams thing. Feels like it muddies up the choices.

I voted gear, because my friend did.

Alex got the Judd badge the moment I tuned in. Nice work, Alex!

I'll play Splatoon 3:
Salmon Run, and give a few more tries to the difficult secret story mode level, After Alterna.

@Joeynator3000 Doesn't demoting yourself lower the difficulty? Not enough? I've never tried demoting myself to see what its like.

The nintendo marketing locker pic at the top of the article is deceptive. (not nintendolife's fault.) The game flat-out won't allow you to place objects in the locker if there's ANY touching or overlap, or touches the side of the locker. The shirt in the pic is touching the shoes. Plushie squid touches the gun. Also, the shirt touches the gun. That marketing pic is bs! 🤣😉

@dario64 If you only get one piece of gear from the amiibo, I think you have to save a setup of gear & weapons to the ammibo. After that, if you scan the amiibo, I believe they will give you the rest of the gear.

My octo girl and octo boy amiibo gave me all 3 automatically. Splatoon 1 inkling boy only gave me the boots the first time.

What Pak-Man said above. It also looks like the end of a gold ribbon prize.

@rjejr I don't think you can access Grizzco and Salmon Run until after you've reached level 4 playing online battles, Turf War. Regarding Grizzco's location in Splatsville, when you walk up the stairs to the lobby building, Grizzco is the building directly to the right, adjacet to the top of the stairs; The storefront has a long orange sign above the doors. If you look above the sign, you'll see the building is a light green color. If you haven't reached level 4 yet, you probably can't enter.

@mjharper Amiibo dlc worked for my two switch users on my console for Splatoon 2. Although, I don't have a family account anymore to test the scenario for Splatoon 3. I created a new switch user & booted up Splatoon 3 for the test: I scanned the amiibo, and the amiibo character said they'd give me free gear "if I was connected to the internet". I'd need a family plan to complete that. I don't have a family plan anymore.

Now, if you scan the amiibo, and it says it must delete that data on the amiibo, let it. The they're talking about the tiny bit of data stored on the amiibo NFC amiibo chip, which was just a gear & weapon preset. You have to allow it to delete the data off the amiibo for it to give gear to a new switch user.

I hope this maybe helps, if nobody else knows.

I wish this meant we're getting a new Rayman 3D platformer.

Splatoon 3 (says guy with dumb splatoon username)

Really not feeling that 2d art style and animation, oof. Looks like a Flash game too. It looks beneath disney quality to me. Forgive me.

"No".
LoL, @Anti-Matter<33

Buying Splatoon 3 physical.

Thanks for the update, Kate. I've wondered about this game, but couldn't remember the title or find the indie/direct it was in.

Thank you for the reivew Alex!

Adult nintendolife writer posts story about personal blunder, blames son.

I'm very interested if the game plays well.

Crossing fingers for next gen being backward compatible with switch physical games.

@Axecon Unfortunately, no. It's one player per console.

Splatoon 3's eshop page details:

"Number of Players: Single System (1), Local Wireless (2-8), Online (2-8)"

I've grown too cynical to believe Metal Gear will come to the Switch. Prove me wrong konami.

I could leave my switch on for 7000 hours overnight by mistake so easily. I'm still very worried.(😁😉)

I don't recall people or competitors complaining & blaming the tick rate on Splatoon 2. I'm not worried.

After playing standard spaltfest for a couple hours, I didn't have the mental bandwidth to learn, or try, the new Tricolor Battle mode. I suppose I'll try it after the full game releases.

I see MK8 & MK7 as being roughly the same, since they mostly play the same. I like them both!

I just like the look of shooting yellow ink.🤣😁

Of course it's japan only. They get some cool stuff.

Sounds like the demo went live in UK around 12-1am (based on the Splatoon 3 thread). Still not live in north america - we're 5-8 hours behind depending on time zone. I don't plan on staying up for it to go live in the US.

Oh, wow. That's amazing.

Would like to see how they made that, because that looks super time consuming to paint each step, or even to roll out a skin, it doesn't look easy.

@AlexOlney If you want to help future Splatoon newbs, I think the Splatoon 3 review should mention that painting walls & vertical surfaces doesn't count for Turf War. Nothing in Splatoon 2's tutorial, or Nintendo's videos, ever make that point, I don't think. I was painting walls like a fool in Splatoon 2 for so long. It was so sad.🤣😁 (I know you're a busy guy. No need to reply)

I think we also need to tell newbs that painting walls & vertical surfaces doesn't count for TurfWar. I made that mistake for a while when I was a Splatoon 2 newb. (so sad🤣) Nothing in Splatoon 2's tutorial mentioned it.
