How to revisit the Grand Festival venue in Splatoon 3
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Splatoon 3’s big Grand Festival event has wrapped up, ending the game’s primary content cycle (save for maybe a couple of repeat Splatfests). During the event, all players were moved over to an exclusive Grand Festival venue instead of the standard Splatsville, Inkopolis Square, or Inkopolis Plaza hub. The seven idols took turns performing their music during the event, too. The Grand Festival venue had a ton of work put into it, and so it’d be a shame if it weren’t accessible again after the event. Fortunately, you can still go back even though the event has ended. All you need is a certain amiibo.

How to use and counter every sub weapon in Splatoon 3
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
With Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival coming up soon, we figured now would be a good time to make a guide on sub weapons aimed at casual or former players who might be returning to play the event.
If you haven’t played much of Splatoon 3 just yet (somehow), there are tons of sub weapons available in the game that each serve a different purpose. Some are area-of-effect damage-rackers, while others are purely defensive or for support. Still, how well you use your subs can make or break individual games. Some are better than others, too, so we’ll be going over what each one does, tips for using them, and how to counter other players using them against you.

How to max catalog fast in Splatoon 3
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
At the time of writing, Splatoon 3 has reached its final “new” season – that is to say, there presumably won’t be any more feature updates that add new gear, emotes, and the like. That said, the game rotated between several different catalogs, some of which do have exclusive gear, and it’s possible that some of you are still missing out on catalog-only content. As the game starts to pick up for the last time just before the Grand Festival, we figured it’d be a good time to list off some tips and tricks to maxing out your catalog as soon as possible.

ScareScraper ghosts guide for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Posted on 5 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over the best strategies to beat the ScareScraper in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, as well as the best way to farm a whole bunch of ScareScraper ghosts.
As we discussed in our 100 percent guide for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, the toughest part of achieving full completion is catching all 45 exclusive ScareScraper ghosts. There are three main modes in the ScareScraper: Hunter, Rush, and Polterpup. Every time you clear four floors, the fifth floor will always be one of these boss ghosts. The idea is that you’ll team up with other real-life players to take down these bosses more easily. Fortunately, it doesn’t matter which one of you sucks up the boss ghost – it counts for all four of you.
How to 100% complete Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Posted on 5 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over how to complete one of the most time-consuming challenges Nintendo has provided for us this year: Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD 100 percent completion.
At first glance, it might not seem like there’s a ton to do in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD after clearing the main story. This isn’t quite the case, however. Clearing the Dark Moon quest alone isn’t enough to earn you full 100 percent completion. When you do fully complete the game, you’ll have three gold medals on your profile at all times. These show to people you play with in multiplayer ScareScraper lobbies, too. Each gold medal is unlocked with a different set of criteria, and believe us – it’s going to take you a long time if you want to get all three. It took us around 50 hours, and that’s probably on the lower end of the time you can expect to burn here.
Boo Locations guide – Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Posted on 5 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’ve put together a list of all the Boo locations in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.
Boos are one of two main collectibles found in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD – in addition to gems, which we’ve already covered. Whereas some gems can be collected in several different missions, there is strictly one Boo per mission. Basically, discovering Boos requires the Dark-Light Device, which you don’t obtain until after the first few missions in the Gloomy Manor. Despite this, the first couple of levels do indeed have Boos, which means you’ll have to go back and replay them after you obtain the Dark-Light Device. To reveal a Boo, you will need to reveal a hidden furniture item with your Dark-Light Device and then suck up the spirit pieces to reveal it. From there, continue using your Dark-Light Device to bring the Boo out of hiding, and then grab its tongue and pull to deal damage to it.
