Supply and demand. Nintendo lowered production of amiibo, so the usual market logic kicks in. That's why you should always buy the amiibo first day.
it's actually why you should buy the amiibo never

I don't think it's so big in Europe. I saw the Marie and Callie ones just the other day for 15 euro or so. Same with the Pearl and Marina.

This is certainly a good way to inject more fun to the game. Hopefully they'll bring this to the states at some point.

This weekend will see a live performance of Off the Hook, with a set-list based heavily on Octo Expansion.

Meanwhile Nintendo UK released a video of the V&A exhibition where they showcase the development work of Splatoon with added commentary from Nogami and Takahashi.

:siren: Splatfest Schedules :siren:


  • JP Boke vs. Tsukkomi @ February 2nd 17:00 JT
  • US Pancakes vs. Waffles @ February 8th 20:00 PT
  • EU Pancakes vs. Waffles @ February 9th 16:00 CET (estimate)
Splatfests last for 24 hours unless otherwise stated.

The return of the manzai comedy duo with the collaboration of Corocoro manga releases. (It's a Japanese thing.)

Also the gear design competition by the Squid Research Lab and Corocoro has resulted in over 10 000 entries, with the winner(s) announced in March and with those appearing in an update in May.

Correction, the gear will be released with the May issue of the magazine, meaning that it's exclusive to Japan.

This game is the best. I played a little when it came out and got to level 15 then quit til yesterday. I've been playing nonstop using nothing but the bloblobber with the ink gate thing and ink rain. I have 200,000 currency and have been saving it. Should I be buying all the guns if I like their kit even though I'm only using the bloblobber? Or should I keep saving up my money?

Just spend your money, you'll make more than you ever need. I regularly blow mine on every item of clothing in the stores I don't own and still can't get it to consistently stay below 600,000.

Surprised they're not going with 4.3.2 considering the last balance patch was considered a 3rd digit revision for some reason. Either that, or they're just being inconsistent.

The update should come out sometime before the next Splatfest, since the Shifty Station got datamined but is currently in a very broken state right now, so they'll have to fix that.

The tourney had another announcement.



Sheldon's Picks are confirmed to return.



Also yet another global testfire happening in March. People will be able to play Salmon Run on it, and the save data from it will transfer over to the full game.

https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/1089441895783161857

More updates aside from all the stuff that was revealed are planned. However, the details on their release and such hasn't been finalized, and will take a little longer to come out. The ride never ends.

Ranked will also be playable in the testfire. Seems like this is a full fledged demo rather than the barebones ones they hosted before since your save file transfers over.

Oh and if you don't have Nintendo Switch Online, don't worry. They're sending out codes to give a free trial of it so this demo won't have like a $20 entry fee or something.

Huh, wonder if you still need to play until level 10 to unlock ranked mode.

A demo at this stage actually makes a ton of sense, since they have sold like, what, 10 mill Switches since the last one.

At the very least, Smash would have bought in a lot of people that have never played Splats, and it's in their best interest to grab as much of that crowd as they can.

I hope so, because at this stage there probably isn't a big enough player base to reliably keep them out of the general squid kid population, and getting dunked on a whole lot when you're not sure how to play is not the best intro to this game.

Oh cool, I thought they weren't adding any new weapons after Kensa. The Kensa Undercover Brella has becoming a regular for me, but I do see a bucket in that image there. Are these Splatoon weapons that were not added in before and if so what are they?

They're Sheldon's Picks from Splatoon 1, which were sets introduced sometime before the last patch for the game. They're probably not going to aim for 1:1, considering some sets already have their equivalents in Splatoon 2.

I waited for a full year before buying Splatoon (and even then I only bought a heavily discounted used copy), because I didn't want to buy it without trying it first, and I kept hoping for a free weekend that never came.

It's about time. Maybe I can convince some of my friends to give it a chance now.

Yeah, they're going to do a small modification in Kelp Dome and small tweaks here and there and raising some Special meter requirements, with the Ballpoint Splatling Nouveau getting hit with a big nerf in the process.

It’s whichever team has the most goons in discord when the Splatfest starts. Get in discord, you scrubs! Seriously, I wish I hadn’t waited a year and a half to join up and regularly play with the folks in there; it’s a lot of fun!
