Community / Events: We're playing Mario Kart 8 on the 21st!

As part of our proposed Nintendo Network shutdown events, we will be playing #MarioKart8 with the community on the 21st of March at 8:30pm GMT.

If you're interested in participating, send me your NNID in the matchmaking rooms on Matrix (or Discord).

We'll be setting up a private room playing tracks from base game and the two DLC packs (I own them both so we should be fine).

News / Emulation: Switch emulator Yuzu is officially being discontinued

A huge loss for emulation today.

The Switch emulator Yuzu, which can be used to emulate Splatoon 2 and 3 as well as Animal Crossing New Horizons was recently sued. I didn't feel like reporting on the situation at the time because I didn't feel like it largely affected us (I don't know why you would want to emulate Splatoon in Yuzu anyways, Ryujinx makes more sense imo).

We have now found out that the team behind the emulator has agreed to settle with Nintendo for $2.4M which means anything relating to the Yuzu emulator will disappear. We're currently unsure about what this means for #Citra considering it has a similar development team.

News / Badges: Some players are unable to obtain badges for X Battle placements in Chill Season 2023

Just another one that I found whilst browsing OatmealDome's Twitter (likely was on SplatoonJP but I clearly ignored it, sorry).

Some users are currently experiencing issues getting badges for their X Battle placements last season. Nintendo is investigating a fix for this.

News / Other: Nintendo has changed the Japanese website's domain

Not strictly Splatoon related and I'm about a week late to this, but I thought it might be worth letting you all know about this.

From the 26th of February, Nintendo's Japanese website is now at https://nintendo.com/jp instead of https://nintendo.co.jp.

The old domain will continue to function for now and will automatically redirect traffic to the new domain.

Community / Announcements: We've reached 700 followers!

Woomy! We've just reached 700 followers and I would like to give a thank you to everyone who have helped us reach this milestone!

It's truly inkredible that we've been able to make a decently-sized Splatoon community on the fediverse and I want to continue doing this in the future.

Thank you!

P.S. anyone interested in playing #MarioKart7? We're looking to do an event playing the game on the 14th of March @ 8:30pm GMT as part of our Nintendo Network Shutdown events but we currently have a lack of interest.

If you want to participate, I am requiring people to join us on Matrix or Discord (link for that is in one of the pinned posts) just because we have to exchange friend codes and deal with all of that stuff.

If you're interested in playing, make sure to share your friend code at least a day before the event (I won't be adding people as friends when the event starts) else I'll have to cancel 😭

So I've been playing and I've beat Side Order already, and I have some thoughts.

Spoiler Free TL:DR is I like it, but I feel it's unfinished.

If you want my full thoughts they are below but be warned.

---THERE MAY BE SPOILERS BELOW---

Side Order, or as Nintendo creatively calls it in their credits "Expansion Pass" 😒, is a first in the Splatoon series, a Rouge Like DLC, with a tower that is 30 levels deep. Where as are you climb, you'll get random power ups and buffs, upgrading yourself and the Pearl Drone (best feature in the whole DLC) as you climb.

The way the game is laid out is exactly like Octo Expansion, but gone are the tailored made levels. And in are a gauntlet of battle arena's and challenge missions, usually culminating in a handful of repeating mission types of your choice.

As a game mode it's a perfect mix of challenge and randomness that makes each climb fun. It fits perfectly into Splatoon's post-apocalyptic and dystopian aesthetic. And with the weapon variety and unlocks, there's a lot of replay value. A Lot more than Octo Expansion.

But if I am perfectly honest, while I do like Side Order and the content it has on offer. And I personally feel it's well worth the price. For some reason it feel unfinished.

I don't know if it's how often the same 2 or 3 levels get repeated. The fact that there is only a handful of game modes. Or the lack of enemy and boss variety. It just feels like the devs made a good first part of a game, and said that's good enough, and shipped it.

After my 3rd or 5th run on the tower I was actively looking for the ??? levels since it was something new. But even then what I did was the same across the board. And it made me think back to Octo Expansion, from the creative level designs, grind rail challenges, 3D Picross levels, that made me yearn for something a little more.

I don't think it's fair to judge Side Order to Octo Expansion, they are two completely different beast. And with Splatoon 3's signal player campaign I can see why Nintendo felt they needed to do something different.

I just feel that this game at a bare minimum needs some extra enemies, bosses and floors, especially on the lower levels, to make it feel a little more complete.

As it is I feel it's like 85% done, and it needs a little more to go from being a fun experience to an excellent one. This is defiantly worth getting if you already have Splatoon 3, but unlike Octo, I don't think it's worth getting Splatoon 3 for this expansion.
