Splatoon 3 update announced for November 29 (version 2.0.0), patch notes
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has announced a massive version 2.0.0 update for Splatoon 3, which is going live on Splatoon 3. This ties in with the upcoming Chill Season 2022.
Chill Season is bringing along lots of content, which has been previously discussed and further mentioned in the patch notes. Outside of that, there are tons of adjustments coming to weapons, ranked (ability to reset your rank), Salmon Run, Splatfests, and more. A truckload of fixes are planned as well.
One thing to keep in mind is that after installing version 2.0.0, you won’t be able to claim any Super Sea Snails from the Pokemon Splatfest. Make sure to claim them before downloading the data.
Below are the full patch notes for the Splatoon 3 version 2.0.0 update:

Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
A bunch of images have popped up online for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and we may have a look at another character.
Photos have been appearing on websites such as 4chan. It’s unclear what the original source is, but all signs point to the images being legitimate. Aside from showing off the main cast – including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and Toad – we also have a look at another character. If you’re looking to maintain the surprise, keep that in mind before proceeding.

[Review] Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: November 4, 2022
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Over the last few years, life and farm sims have been steadily growing in popularity and, with critically acclaimed titles such as Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing: New Horizons also on Switch, standing out amongst the crowd is a difficult thing to do. If there is any franchise equipped to do this in modern times, however, it would be Story of Seasons – one of the oldest and largest farm sim series that has been around since the SNES, and has seen several installments as well as spin-offs such as Rune Factory over its lifetime. Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom is another such offshoot, taking the traditional Story of Seasons gameplay and blending it with the world of Doraemon, which is an extremely iconic franchise in Japan. But is this a match made in heaven?
[Let’s Talk] The Game Awards 2022 hopes and dreams
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Let's Talk | 0 comments
The Game Awards are just under two weeks away, so we wanted to host a discussion topic talking about hopes and dreams.
The Game Awards has become one of the major events of the year alongside E3, Gamescom, and the Tokyo Game Show for news and announcements. Nintendo itself has had many memorable moments. The Game Awards hosted the first real footage of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, revealed Joker for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and more. However, we can’t always count on announcements from the Big N given how the company was a no show in 2021 and 2015. Still, even if Nintendo is absent, we can usually count on third-party news – last year, for example, included the announcement of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, the first trailer for Sonic Frontiers, and more.
With all of that said, what are you hoping for when it comes to The Game Awards 2022? Are there any Nintendo games or third-party titles you’re hoping will make an appearance? What’s your choice for Game of the Year (see all of the nominees here)? Let us know in the comments.

Splatoon 3 best weapons guide
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
The arsenal of weapons available in Splatoon 3 is varied and complex, which can make it difficult to pick one weapon to focus on, but we’ve put together a guide detailing twenty of the very best to make that choice easier. We also have brief descriptions of each weapon to explain what makes them so great.
Of note, this guide will mostly cover weapons from the perspective of Anarchy Battles, the game’s ranked mode and the one used in competitive play. Furthermore, it should be noted that every weapon in Splatoon 3 is viable to some degree, assuming you aren’t playing in a highly competitive setting. The weapons detailed in this guide are simply the ones that will have the easiest time achieving good results if used well.
