The Tricolor Turf War stage for the cryptids Splatfest will be MakoMart. 🧵
The normal spawn areas were divided into two parts by a wall to create a defender spawn (left) and attacker spawn (right).
The defenders’ spawn was also pushed up.
(thanks @InternalLoss)

[NSO - Nintendo 64]
SPOILERS for Majora's Mask.
Here's a situation where the Switch version is actually *better* than previous releases and more accurate to N64, thanks to a patch added by Nintendo.
It fixes a cutscene running too fast, causing it to end too early. twitter.com/Fig02_/status/…

[Splatoon 3]
The Kraken Royale will be nerfed in some gamemodes starting in version 3.1.0.
It will be easier to push a Kraken off the Tower in Tower Control, and players will now drop all held clams in Clam Blitz when activating the special.
183
The Final Fest will feature a new Shifty Station called "DEAR SENPAI" (Japanese name). Marina's Hyperbombs and Pearl's Killer Wail from the Octo Expansion final boss will be used as mechanics. Off the Hook will also make an appearance during the battle. twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…

[Splatoon 3]
Version 1.1.2 is out. No new content was added in this patch. 🧵
Internal changes:
- NPLN updated to 1.6.8 (likely more fixes for comm errors).
- Tacticooler collision when it is on the ground was modified. However, the changes revert if it’s on the Tower.

[Splatoon 3]
It looks like there is a bug which is causing the game to crash on the results screen occasionally. It might have something to do with Sturgeon Shipyard.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be anything we can do to avoid it. Just have to hope it doesn’t happen.

[Splatoon 3]
A random weapons rotation will take place in Salmon Run on Apr 8 at 4 am UTC.
The rare weapon will be the Grizzco Stringer, and the King Salmonid will be Horrorboros.

That's it for this Big Run!
Like a Splatfest, the results are not immediately available.
The announcement might take place at 2 am UTC.
Rewards like statues and badges will be distributed after the results are announced.

[Nintendo Switch Firmware Update]
Version 15.0.1 is out. 🧵
It appears to contain minor changes and bug fixes, which is unsurprising.
The bad words list was updated in Japanese to add various phrases telling someone to “disappear” or “get lost” (キエロ、キエテ、キエウセロ).
189
[NSO - Nintendo 64]
It seems the water in the now-infamous Water Temple room has been fixed in the latest update? I think the fog is still missing, though.
Haven’t checked the rest of the game to see if any of the other issues have changed, but this is promising.

[Splatoon 3]
The Custom Splattershot Jr. will be added in Chill Season 2022. The sub weapon is the Torpedo and the special weapon is the Wave Breaker. twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…

[Splatoon 3]
Version 1.1.1 will be released after the server maintenance occurring at 1am UTC.
This update focuses on Splatfests and fixes for bugs that significantly affect the game.
Highlights: fixes for communication errors, Mudmouths moving, and main weapons not firing. twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…

[Splatoon 3]
Nintendo has revealed a new Squid Sisters song: “BRAND NEW HOMETOWN ~ Other From That, Let’s Talk About Tomorrow ~” (official English name not known at time of posting). twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…

You can now see a King Salmonid forecast for each Salmon Run rotation on our website.
(Note: the forecast will become inaccurate if Nintendo changes their algorithm. If the listed King Salmonid is wrong, let us know!)
Check it out: splatoon.oatmealdome.me/three/salmon-r…

[Splatoon 3]
Here's a new song that will play during Splatfest battles: Liquid Sunshine by the Squid Sisters feat. Ian BGM!
Just who is this mysterious guest artist!?
(There are even "lyrics" included for those that can read hiragana!) twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…

The Tri-Slosher Nouveau will be added in Fresh Season 2023.
The sub weapon is the Fizzy Bomb, and the special weapon is the Tacticooler. twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…

Three new Salmon Run bonus headgear rewards were added. (There are no clothes or shoes, just headgear.) twitter.com/LeanYoshi/stat…

[Expansion Pack - Nintendo 64]
As expected, the Nintendo 64 emulator implements the same lockstep netcode (everyone must be in perfect sync) that Nintendo *really* loves to use.
It seems that emulation is paused while other players catch up, causing the choppy audio. twitter.com/Akfamilyhome/s…

[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]
Version 2.2.0 made it so that the length of your post-hit invincibility changes based on your kart parts and driver.
In this particular test (thanks @AustinSV_), it seems that the infamous Waluigi + Wild Wiggler + Rollers combo is at a disadvantage. twitter.com/AustinSV_/stat…

[Splatoon 3]
Some players have hacked in gear for future seasons. If one of these players appeared in your Square, you were able to order it.
Now, a communication error will occur if you order one. Also, if you own any, they will be deleted from your save in the next update. twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…
