Nintendo has just announced the latest Splatfest  source:  twitter.com/NintendoUK Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has just posted the details of the next Splatfest for Splatoon 3 (Splatoween 2). This time the question being asked is "What would you rather be in a fantasy world". The three options are Wizard (Shiver), Knight (Frye), or Ninja (Big Man). The Special Splatfest will be available from  Saturday the 26th of October @ 01:00 am until Sunday the 27th of October @ 11:59 pm .  As a special one, this Splatfest has a few extra things to it as well. This includes, Inkopolis Plaza,  Inkopolis Square and Splatsville being spookily decorated, Deep Cut, Off the Hook and the Squid Sisters having special outfits and special Halloween-themed gear being made available for players to wear. The gear is from Splatoon 2's Splatoween event and is available to claim now, so head over to the news channel for Splatoon 3 to claim yours. I was simply expecting a rerun of the Splatoween eve

A near-perfect blend between the old and the new  Echoes of the Wisdom came out of nowhere when it was first announced. What's even crazier is that it was stated to come not long after its suprise announcement. I was not ready for a brand new Zelda game as I thought at most we would get a remake of the Oracle games or a port of the HD games. From the first time I saw this game, I really liked what I saw. Every trailer after that got me more and more excited to finally get my hands on the game. I got this game on release (September 26th) and have been playing it since. I have now finished the main story and thus am ready to give my thoughts on it. How did it turn out in the end? Well... I'll break it down in my review below. ~ Positives ~ Great dungeons - BOTW and TOTK suffered a bit in the dungeon department due to how open they were and the options available. Even though this game still has many options the dungeons manage to work very similarly to the classic styled dungeons.

This state of play starts @11pm BST . The length is unknown, instead we know there will be roughly 20 titles shown there .  There are quite a few games we could see here such as upcoming games like Silent Hill 2, Lego Horizon Adventures, Metaphor: ReFantazio and Assassin's Creed Shadows.

The latest Sonic news is coming!  source: x.com/sonic_hedgehog Tomorrow (September 24th)  we will be getting some new Sonic news in the form of a Sonic Central.

The time it will air is  @5pm BST . It will be live on both  YouTube and Twitch  on the official channel for Sonic The Hedgehog. There is no duration stated for this presentation, though they are typically around 10 minutes.  As for what we could see, since it's for 2025, other than mobile game updates I am really not sure.  I am looking forward to seeing what comes from this event. Personally, I would love to see adventure remakes or information for the next main Sonic game. We'll just have to wait and see what is shown. That's it for this blog, stay connected!
