Splatoon 3 artist discusses his work on the game and challenges
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
An interesting post previously went up on Nintendo’s recruitment website from an artist that worked on Splatoon 3. As part of this, we learn about the challenges of making illustrations and why it was far from a straightforward process.
The first takeaway is that the artist “needed to display a world that was rougher when compared to the past games” given the new setting of Splatsville. The initial difficulty came about as the artist “was focused a bit too much on drawing the action poses correctly, which resulted in them feeling too small and lacking energy.” He then turned to others on the team that were able to “maximize the charm of Splatoon 3” through his art. Ultimately it sounds like a rewarding job as the staffer was already a fan of the franchise and received positive feedback about his illustrations from around the world.
Below is our full translation of the piece:

Ranking the Xenoblade Chronicles games, from best to worst
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch | 0 comments
We’ve ranked plenty of Nintendo franchises in the past, but today we’re ranking a particularly difficult one: Xenoblade Chronicles. Just about all of its games are of top-notch quality, and even the lowest-ranking titles in the franchise are still well worth your time. So today, we’re taking on the difficult challenge of ranking every single game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series from “least best” to best.
If you’ve got your own personal rankings of each game, we’d also encourage you to share that with us in the comments down below. We’ll be mentioning some light spoilers here and there, so keep that in mind in case you’re trying to avoid spoilers for any of the Xenoblade games. We’re also only going to rank the definitive version of each game, which means Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and the original Xenoblade Chronicles X won’t be on the list.
[Let’s Talk] Your current thoughts on Mario Kart World
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Mario Kart World launched at an interesting time. Mario Kart 8 carried Nintendo for years in the Wii U and Nintendo Switch generations and continues to sell even to this day. With how popular the game was, there was a lot of excitement surrounding Mario Kart World. The Nintendo Switch 2 title was well-received overall, but depending on who you ask, it didn’t live up to Mario Kart 8. A bunch of different updates have come out over the past few months, many of which were intended to address some of those criticisms.
Following the various patches that have gone live since launch, how are you feeling about Mario Kart World today? Are you still playing it or have you simply moved on? Let us know in the comments below.
