[News] Splatfest now on! - Splatoween (Splatoon 3)


Pick a team and splat it out!

Another splatfest is upon us. This Special Halloween Splatfest, about what you would rather be in a fantasy world, was announced on October 9th. The choices for this splatfest are, wizard, knight and ninja. As usual, this event runs for two full days (26th @ 1am - 27th @ 11:59am), with the tri colour battles starting on the second day. Just like last time Nintendo have made a lot of cool little changes to for this fest to really make it feel like a Halloween one. From the idols wearing outfits to additional Halloween themed music it really is a spooktastic fest.

The tri-colour stage this time is both Scorch Gorge and Mincemeat Metalworks. These are both stages we have had before but it's cool to not only see the return of the best tri-colour stage (Scorch Gorge) but also have two different maps at the same time. Mincemeat is an okay stage too but I know many will be hoping to come across Scorch Gorge more, myself included.

From looking at polls on Twitter and YouTube, I think it's safe to say wizard is the most popular. Wizard did win the wizard vs knight Splatfest in Splatoon 2 so it wouldn't be surprising for it to win again here despite the third option of ninja. I understand why it's seemingly the most picked though as I think it's the one that's the most interesting choice. 

Make sure to use your conch shells before the splatfest ends! 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...
