[News] Februarys Splatfest Now On!

 

Pick your team and splat it out!

Another Splatfest is upon us. This Splatfest, about which day is the best day of the weekend, was first announced on February 1st on Twitter. The choices for this Splatfest are, Friday (Shiver), Saturday (Frye) and Sunday (Big Man). As usual, this event runs for two full days (February 17th @ 00:00 - February 18th @ 23:59), with the tri colour battles starting on the second day.

The tri-colour stage this time is Bluefin Depot. This is one of recent returning stages from Splatoon 1. The layout seems interesting, I do like how they took the usual spawn area and split it into two. This has made it so there is attackers and defenders starting right next to each other but behind a wall. This reminds me somewhat of one of the shifty stations in Splatoon 2 that did a similar thing, though you could actually see through a little bit of the wall. I feel this stage actually has a lot of potential. I suppose we will find out how fun it is by playing it tomorrow. 

From looking at polls on Twitter and YouTube, I think it's safe to say Saturday is the most popular, though the other two are very even it seems. So I can't really come to any conclusion on which between the two could have more votes. I am really not surprised by Saturday being this favoured though due to the reasons I mentioned in my previous blog about this Splatfest. I personally picked Saturday too as I like the colour as well as it being my choice for the best day.

Make sure to use your conch shells before the splatfest ends and to scrub your splatfest t-shirt every now and then for those sweet ability chunks! Happy splatting!

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

Fully Charged: Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, Mario Kart World

Start of a new series! Fully Charged is a series in which I go over games I have recently played. Each instalment will release when I have played 2-4 games, updates or demos. With less time for this blog now, I won't be doing many, if any, full reviews. This series will instead cover the games I have played critically, in a mini-review format. Mario Kart World https://store.nintendo.co.uk This is the game everyone has been playing recently if they got a Switch 2. I want to start off by saying I quite like this game, it feels quite different from 8 in a good way. One of the biggest things I like about the games feel, is the control. Vehicles in this game do not feel as stiff. How could I not mention the wall driving and rail grinding too, those add a lot more depth to tracks and are very fun to do. The new knockout tour is a great addition to the series, I find myself playing these just as much as grand prix's. Free roam is quite fun, there are some cool challenges to do within ...

[Thoughts] Will Tears of the Kingdom have DLC?

  DLC for Tears of the kingdom could happen but I don't think it's likely Source: Author's edit I want to start off by saying I do not think this game needs DLC at all, though it would be welcome. Breath of the Wild had an expansion pass with 3 waves of content. Looking at the contents of that could give us an idea about what a Tears of the Kingdom expansion pass could look like. The first wave (Expansion pass purchase bonus) was available at the games launch and included the following: - 3 new treasure chests This was a very small wave featuring 3 chests of goodies. The biggest thing from this was a Nintendo Switch shirt link could wear. It was a nice little extra to start the game off with but definitely not the defining content of the pass. Moving on, The second wave (DLC pack 1) offered a lot more in terms of content, with it offering these following things: - Trail of the Sword - Master mode - Heroes path mode.  This wave offered many things to test the players skill...
