Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
December 22: A new Splatfest is starting soon for Splatoon 3, with an event planned based around the holidays. The theme asks how you spend it. Do you spend time with friends, family, or by yourself?
You’ll be able to give input when the Splatest is held on January 13, 2024. However, players will be able to pick their team earlier on January 5. Note that you’ll be able to get involved at any point – even after the Splatfest begins – so choosing right away isn’t mandatory.

Splatoon 3 update out now (version 6.0.2), patch notes
Posted on 4 months ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has just released a new update for Splatoon 3, bringing us to version 6.0.2.
Two main issues are being addressed here: first is that players who did not receive their proper rewards following the latest Big Run should now be able to obtain them (update 6.0.1 also tried addressing this issue, but was unfortunately unsuccesful). Second is that the Splattercolor Screen special has been adjusted to make its visual effects less intense, as many members in the community were experiencing severe discomfort from it. A few other small fixes are also included.
Here’s the full rundown of the update:

Datamine hints at two unannounced Splatoon 3 amiibo
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in News, Switch | 0 comments
Just a few short days ago, Nintendo officially announced the release date for the new Sora amiibo. And according to a recent datamine of Splatoon 3, they’re not done with new figures just yet.
A thread from ashbinary_ on Twitter goes in-depth on Splatoon 3’s resource table, which contains references to content not currently available in-game. This includes new weapon kits, unreleased stages, and unreleased sets of gear. Two of those unreleased gear sets have the amiibo brand, which implies that Nintendo is planning to release at least two more new amiibo figures for Splatoon 3. That being said, the reference to these amiibo doesn’t necessarily guarantee their release – though it would make sense for the release of the Side Order DLC next year.

Some Splatoon 3 players experiencing health issues from new Splattercolor Screen
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Splatoon 3 introduced the Splattercolor Screen as a new special weapon for Chill Season 2023, but things haven’t gone smoothly as controversy has started due to some players unfortunately saying that they’ve been experiencing health issues when it’s in use.
There have been various reports on social media about the situation, such as from X users NoodleArms16 and chrysan_s – plenty of others are chiming in as well. Both physical and mental-related issues are impacting players with migraines, dizziness, minor pain in the eyes, and panic among the different problems that have been mentioned. Some have even passed out due to the special being very disorienting and loud to the point that people with and without autism expressed a desire to see the special weapon changed. This is not only from players in the west, but in Japan as well.

Splatoon 3 just received its latest update, and its next Big Run event starts this weekend. It’s a great time to splat some Salmonids for those of you who’ve never participated before.
If you don’t already know, Big Run is essentially a “giant Salmon Run” rotation that takes place on one of the game’s larger multiplayer stages. You’ll need to team up with three other players and splat as many Boss Salmonids as you can, all while throwing as many Golden Eggs into the basket as you can. Today, we’ve gathered a whole bunch of tips for new and old players alike (but mostly new players). This month’s rotation takes place on Barnacle & Dime and goes from Friday, December 1 at 7 PM ET to Sunday, December 3 at 7 PM ET.
