If you voted tomorrow on the poll I put out earlier, you are correct!
In 24 hours from now, at 3pm BST / 11pm JST / 10am EDT, there will be a #NintendoDirect showcasing the latest from Nintendo.
I gotta hear all the predictions you have for the Direct in the replies now! I think we have to see something Side Order related surely, the game has been out for 9 months at this point.
#Fediverse migrations have increased recently due to the #Redditmigration, so I just wanted to write this post to welcome anyone who is moving from #Reddit over to the fediverse.
I'm not sure how big the Splatoon subreddits are, or even whether they protested, but if you need any assistance around the fediverse, I'm happy to help anyone through this account.
If my statistics are right, the #fediverse has grown by over 2 million users today, and I'd like to welcome everyone who has come here!
This is an unofficial account posting Splatoon news and updates for users on the fediverse.
If anyone needs any help with the fediverse, I'd recommend following @feditips to receive regular tips on how to use the fediverse. You should also follow @FediFollows to check out some super cool people!
If you still need help though, leave replies and members of the community will be happy to help you!
The results for this weekend's #EggstraWork shift have been announced. Here's what you needed to get:
basic steelhead sticker - participation
bronze steelhead sticker - 143+ eggs
silver steelhead sticker - 178+ eggs
gold steelhead sticker - 217+ eggs
Let us know what you got in the replies below, I'll be interested to see how well you all did (personally, I got like around 130 eggs, but I was playing with random players).
Nintendo has world class character designers, artists, game developers, and composers. Please, though, hire some writers :blobfoxlaughsweat: The only good writing in a Nintendo game is the Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion, and I'm pretty sure that took a ton of heavy lifting on the part of Treehouse. #Nintendo#Splatoon#Zelda
Mechanics are all super cool. They’ve done a great job giving you a lot of fun toys to play with as your build evolves. There’s so much going on and it’s an absolute blast to play.
However, my biggest concern going in was that it’s going to be a grinding game, and I’m a grumpy old man who hates grinding games. Of course it would be, a proper Roguelike would not be accessible to Nintendo’s target audience.
There are a lot of permanent upgrades to unlock, and they have a pretty big impact. Big enough that the game is clearly designed around them. Surely I cannot just skip them… but I’m so stubborn that I tried to anyway.
I spent about four hours trying to see if I could clear it without buying any permanent upgrades. I managed to get to floor 21 once, but it was an incredibly painful struggle and I couldn’t get that far again.
Not having enough DPS can cause enemy spawns to snowball out of control and feel like there’s just no hope of recovery, I don’t know what to do if I literally can’t kill them faster than they keep coming. Lack of defensive upgrades also makes it way too easy to die in situations that felt out of my control. There’s one particular enemy that will put you in Danger in one hit, and the movement penalty while in Danger makes it virtually impossible to avoid getting hit again and die. Most of my runs ended to that guy in particular.
Still, it feels like it’s gotta be possible for a much more skilled player than me, or at least a lucky one. I got close once! But I could see it’s not how Nintendo wants me to play the game, so eventually I swallowed my pride and bought a few upgrades. I was a little relieved to find out that upgrades can actually be toggled back off at will, so Nintendo did leave the door open for this playstyle…
And from there I got a win in just two more attempts. Spoilers in the next reply!
The challenge is the Monthly Challenge, you'll be aiming for the highest Challenge Power on Scorch Gorge and Eeltail Alley. The mode for this challenge is Splat Zones.
As you guys know, I can't read Japanese, so this is going to be a rough translation.
Nintendo has released Chara-Magnets for Splatoon 3 in partnership with Bandai. I'm pretty sure these are basically fridge magnets, even though it's on Bandai's candy page.
Worst feeling of dread you can experience in casual Splatoon.
