Time for the biggest Splatfest yet, pick a team and splat it out!

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!

[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...

[Thoughts] Post Game Content Is Awesome!

Post game content is something I greatly  appreciate in games ~Intro ~ Many games over the years have included post game content, it's a way to give more content to players who really enjoyed their time with the main game and were left wanting a little more. Sometimes it is in the form of a few bonus missions, while other times epilogue stories can happen. I will now give some examples of good post game content and discuss what makes them good. ~Dark  Chronicle~ The post game for this game is quite big. After the main story you follow the main character on another small adventure to a place called the Zelmite Mine. This mysterious mine is huge, forming the biggest dungeon in the game by quite a bit. This Dungeon even has multiple mini bosses, one of which being fairly important to the narrative. While the dungeon does require a little bit of grinding to be able to get through it, it isn't too bad and I never found myself having...
