WoomyNNYes

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.

It was the later levels of Splatoon 2 single player (base game & octo) where the level desgin got more innovative and impressive. I await the full game review at release. Otherwise, this hands-on hasn't really changed anything for me. I would expect something a bit more unique from a next gen console Splatoon.

How did they pitch this and succeed? So odd.

Yup. Preloaded and ready to go. I'm psyched. Really looking forward to the tutorial and seeing Splatsville.

Oh, wow. Thanks for sharing Kate. I'll check the videos out later.

Obviously, team yellow looks coolest. That's what I'll pick.

My body is ready!

Splatoon 2 is the most played nintendo game on my console. Bring it!

@Would_you_kindly If Nintendo ever makes a console that has the power to play both modern games AND Nintendo titles, my money is ready!

Looks like they dumbed it down for the american market. Not a fan of that marketing at all. I like the japanese commercials better.(saw them on nintendo japan's youtube)

I can get 999 diamonds & Giant Ancient Cores if I get rid of all stock for 100+ other items in my inventory, like food, apples, shields, bows? This doesn't look helpful to me.

Is it bad that I feel good when cloud games fail?

Cloud games succeeding will mean the eroding of game ownership as I've grew up with it and enjoy it.

@Snatcher The Splatoon 3 World Premier demo will allow acceess to play a tutorial starting Aug 25. (Stated in the expanded details on the World Premier eshop page) I imagine you will be able to pick your splatfest team then, before the 27th.

I'm hoping the World Premier demo will still have a playable tutorial playable after Splatfest. All three Splatoon 2 demos turned unplayable after their set play dates, which I always thought was kind of dumb, since Splatoon 2 only let us play see the game's tutorial once at initial boot up, and that's it. (Unless you make a new switch user save file JUST to see the tutorial again.)

Switch getting the second class release dates has gotten so old.

@EliSweetG Open the NSO icon on your switch home screen, then select Special Offers. In there you'll see a tile for that Splatoon 2 gear. I think you can get redeem codes from there. Otherwise, maybe nintendo support can help.

@Farts_Ahoy Nintnedo added the ability to transfer Splatoon 2 save data 1-2 years after the game released. I transferred my Splatoon 2 save data from my launch switch to my oled in december. You have to have both consoles on hand to transfer from an old console to a new one.

A new single player campaign dlc like the size of octo would be great!! YES PLEASE. (if that's what they mean)

Great idea. I'm into it!.

I may pick Paper for splatfest, because neon yellow looks awesome.

Good looking action in there. Looks promising.

Splatoon is the most played nintendo game on my console. I'm psyched. Bring it!

@Fizza Ahh, the ability to save more time trial ghosts from 16 to 32 now. That helps! Thanks for the heads up, @Fizza<3

What? This thing still around?

I think they need a list of games that sell 10 million or more, not just top ten.
