Another Special Splatfest is upon us. This Splatfest, about which time peroid is the most important to you, was first announced on July 19th on X (Twitter). As a reminder, the choices for this Splatfest are, Past (Squid Sisters), Present (Off The Hook) and Future (Deep Cut). This Splatfest will run for 3 whole days not just the standard two (Friday the 13th of September @ 01:00 am until Monday the 16th of September @ 00:59 am). Tri colour battles will start from day one for this Splatfest, with the first 32 hours having stage rotations, the next 16 hours being random stages and then the last 24 hours being the new Grand Fest Bowl stage.

The map layout has not been leaked for this Splatfest, it will probably not be too different from how the map was for the Grand Fest Big Run though. However, there is an offical map for the new hub area for this Splatfest that comes with some cool stuff. There are three different performance stages of which the idols will be rotating different songs on, so take a minute to watch these. While in this area you can strike different poses with the d pad to really get into the festival and if you win a 100/333x battle or get to certian ranks you can go up on stage with the idols too for fresh pictures. Of course, all the standard shops are vistable as well. This hub will be vistable after the fest, though only with the use of a idol amiibo. This includes any squid sisters, off the hook and deep cut amiibos.

From looking at polls on X (Twitter) and YouTube, team present seems to be most popular overall. I really don't know who will win for votes though as many do seem to be voting based on idol too which changes things. The voting for this will most likely influence the next Splatoon game, so it will be interesting to see who wins and at some point later down the line see the result in full force. I'm team present all the way!

Make sure to use your conch shells before the Splatfest ends and to add an ability to your Splatfest t-shirt as it's cheap to do so and you get your chunks back if you swap it out before the end of the fest. Happy splatting!

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[Review] Odin Sphere Leifthrasir

A game with an interesting narrative, that is held back by some poor design choices source: personacentral.com Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is a 2D action RPG game set in a fantasy world. It came out in 2016 for the PS3, PS4 and PSvita. This game is a remake, the original game, simply titled, Odin Sphere was a PS2 game that came out in 2008. I had this game on my backlog for a long time. I have finally got around to playing it and I have many thoughts about it. I have finished all stories including getting both the good and bad endings so my opinion is solidified. Let's start off with the positives. Odin Sphere has a great overall narrative which is deep and thought invoking. I was very invested in the story wanting to find out what was going to happen next. The way the story is told is that, each character you play as continuously adds to the overarching narrative. This lets you slowly piece things together and see things from other peoples perspectives, which makes it easier to di

[News] Sonic Superstars opening animation uploaded!

The official Sonic YouTube channel has just uploaded the intro animation for the game source: www.youtube.com/@SonictheHedgehog Sonic Superstars is the next game in the Sonic series. The game is scheduled to release soon (autumn 2023), though we still don't know the exact date yet. Sadly, there is no update on that front but we have been treated to the intro animation for the game. This animation looks as good as the other sonic animations we have gotten in recent times. All the playable characters are featured in this one as well as one of Sonic's new abilities, being the one were he makes a bunch of clones. The villains can all be seen together near the end too. Something quite interesting in this animation is that, there is a moment where it's a panned out shot of the islands and you can see certain locations. These appear to be some of the levels. The bottom two levels we have seen in previews, but the carnival, chemical plant type level, the sandy level and the temp

[News] Januarys Special Splatfest Now On! (Frosty Fest)

Pick your team and splat it out! Source: twitter.com/NintendoEurope Another Splatfest is upon us. This Special Holiday Splatfest, about how you spend the holidays, was first announced on November 29th on Twitter. The choices for this Splatfest are, with friends, with family and solo. As usual, this event runs for two full days (January 13th @ 00:00 - January 15th 0:00), with the tri colour battles starting on the second day. Many cool additions and changes just like the Halloween Splatfest have been made to many parts of the games visuals and audio. From the idols wearing outfits to additional Holiday themed music it really is a festive fest. The tri-colour stage this time is Crableg Capital. This is one of the new stages which many people including myself like a lot. I am sure it will be a great tri colour map. I am unsure of the actual layout though as it wasn't datamined at the time of writing this. I do wonder when or if they will ever do a special Splatfest stage like the tri
