[News] The Legend of Zelda X Splatoon 3 collab is on now!


Don't miss this special Splatoon 3 collab event!

Nintendo decided to make a collab event for Zelda in Splatoon 3 to promote the newest game in the series, Tears of the Kingdom. It isn't a Tears of the Kingdom specific splatfest but it's intention is the same. The three teams are Power (red), Wisdom (blue) and courage (green) which represent the three pieces of the tri-force as well as Ganondorf, Zelda and Link. Splatoon 3 has had collab events before such as the one for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, however, this one is the most interesting one yet. This fest will include a completely unique stage. This stage is a modification of Scourge Gorge which is a standard Splatoon 3 stage. Below you can see this modified stage.

As you can see the stage is in the shape of a Tri-force which is such a cool design choice. Each team will be starting at one of the three corners of the map. The two attacking teams have slightly less space to work with then the defending team as you can see structures put in place on the attacking sides. This helps make the stage more fair without altering the tri-force shape. I will say, the stage looks really small, which could be an issue, but just the fact we finally have a unique stage for a splatfest I am more than fine with that. They can learn from this stage and refine ideas for the next time if it does turn out to be a little biased for certain weapons. 

Splatfests have been very enjoyable in Splatoon 3 thanks to the new tri-colour mode but it was lacking a little bit in the unique feel of the event. Previously tri-colour stages had just been a slightly edited version of an existing stage, whereas this is a complete over hall. I hope they continue to do this for future splatfests, but if it is just for collab events I also understand that. This event will run from the 6th at 1am till the 8th at 1am, with the new map appearing at the mid point, so get joining in on the fun!

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[News] New "Hype trailer" for Summer Game Fest goes live

  Summer Game Fest gets new video source : twitter.com/summergamefest Summer Game Fest hosted by Geoff Keighley will be live this Thursday, June 8th as announced a few days ago. The event will be streamed everywhere @  3pm ET / Noon PT / 9pm CEST.  Currently, other than a showing for the recently revealed Mortal Kombat remake, there are no details as to what to expect from the show. However, in a follow up tweet to the video post, Geoff states we will find out soon. In that same reply he also says what you see in the video is not indicative of what we will or won't see. So it serves as just a little mind refresher for some of the new games this year. Link to the video can be found here  SGF video I will be watching this event, but I will have my expectations set very low. Previous summer game fests have not been that interesting so I expect this one to follow suit. Though, with E3 not being a thing anymore offici...

[News] Another game comes to Nintendo Switch Online!

Another game is now available for Nintendo Switch Online members   source:  twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that  another game is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes 1 GBA game. The GBA game included in this update is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. The GBA app does require the expansion pass tier so if you have it you can enjoy this game. This game will be available from August 9th. For more information on the game click this link: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team I haven't played Red Rescue Team, but I have played Blue Rescue Team and loved it. They are essentially the same game just Blue Rescue Team was on the DS. Both aren't coming together as we sadly don't have a DS app. I hope people who have the expansion take the time to try this, as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, while a bit repetitive in gameplay, bring a lot more interesting narratives than mainline Pokemon games.   That's it f...

[News] Grand Festival Announced! (Splatoon 3)

Nintendo has just announced the last? Splatfest! source:  x.com/NintendoAUNZ Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has just posted the details of the last? Splatfest for Splatoon 3. It is a very special Splatfest with it being called the "Grand festival". For this, it seems all three idol groups are against each other taking one option each. The question being asked for this is "Which is the most important to you?". The three options are past (Squid Sisters), present (Off the Hook), or future (Deep Cut). The Splatfest will be available for 72 hours rather than the usual 48. It will start  Friday the 13th of September @ 01:00 am until Monday the 16th of September @ 00:59 am .  We don't know much about the fest itself but it's safe to assume it will have all the same things as a special Splatfest and more. In the trailer, we do get to see the three idol groups in special costumes, as well as hear a new collab song between the three idol groups. However, that's pre...
