[News] Latest Splatfest Announced!


Nintendo have just announced November's splatfest theme!

source: twitter.com/NintendoUK

Over on twitter, Nintendo has just posted the details of the next splatfest for Splatoon 3. This time it is about which your go to greeting is. The three options being, Handshake (Shiver), Fist Bump (Frye) or Hug (Big man). The splatfest will be available from Saturday the 18th of November @ 12 am until Sunday the 19th of November @ 11:59 pm. Something else to note is that the Japanese splatfest is different. This is the first time they have done this in Splatoon 3. For Japan it seems to be about some type of food and what you call it.

This is an interesting theme for a splatfest though. I don't think there is necessarily a dominant favourite here, however, I think fist bump will actually come out on top for votes. I think it will go, fist bump, then hug, then handshake in terms of votes. Hugs and handshakes are a lot more specific I feel, with them being more reserved for whom you give them to. However, a fist bump can be used for friends, acquittances and family alike, just not really formally. A hug does have more uses cases than such a formal greeting as a handshake though, so that's why I am going with this order. I suppose we will see whether I could be wrong or not when voting polls have come out. I look forward to playing this fest though and hopefully we get a decent tri colour stage this time.

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...
