I wouldn't increase the base surge time, but rather just make it a second charge of sorts

I feel like instead of an ink cost to use, it would make more sense to have inking have a larger charge time (e.g. 2-4x longer charge time to ink wall vs just go up)

good concept though

I mean tbf I wasn't considering Pokopia to begin with once it came out that it was a GKC.

I don't mind buying Digital or necessarily Digital only games... but don't be scummy and do a GKC just to pretend to have a traditional storefront presence (especially if it's $70)

tbf the reason they're standalone like this is because these are basically unaltered roms

...which is certainly an approach (to put it mildly)

can't wait for some kid to accidentally buy the French version and start learning French.

worth noting this is for Switch 1 (nothing special about Switch 2 from what I can tell as well) so in theory this is a "lower" price point than if it was Switch 2-only

this seems like a direct "port" (what do you define this) of FRLG with nothing directly new (imo LGPE had more effort than this)

at least cumulatively it's the cheapest thing currently sold that's not some f2p slop or friends slop or whatever

random thought: why not have it be a system of "voting OR results"

keeps the voting system for those that would benefit while allowing results to grant an access in for those that might fail to get in otherwise

(disclaimer: largely an outsider, probably wouldn't have a good idea on specifics)

there's also now a docked/handheld divide

splatoon has so many divides

tbf these changes weren't intended to be pushed until 11.1.0 (and were likely unfinished/unfinalized as well)

not saying that pen will be touched though (it probably won't)

it's actually not a glitch

just some person cheating in a strange way (trust me I have no idea why you'd cheat in such a way)

for those who purchased them prior to the end of purchasing (since they last for one year from purchase)

so in theory, they could add Switch 1 titles that release through January 30th, 2027

put it to you this way: a cheat dev saw it on the CDN back on December 22nd

and was not updated further from then until final release

I mean in fairness it was overall going to be easier to hit those in human form - the only actual hitbox reduction (excluding S-Blast for obvious reasons) was for the squid form.

I think that's exactly what they mean to be honest.

I don't think they'll be removed outright (it's sort of been a foundational part of both of the last two entries).

I could see them removing babies though (since that could genuinely be confusing with LGBT marriages in play).

It also wouldn't surprise me (largely to appease [some people] and such) if they were to require explicit(/controlled) attempts in order for LGBT sweethearts/marriages to trigger.

On the first one: it's worth noting that the Switch 2 (not Switch 1 though iirc) just calls them "styles" rather than "gender" in its Mii Maker.

It would not surprise me if that's how they ultimately go about it.

what's the state of Opening Gambit at this point (since it seems somewhat redundant now outside of the very start or for lower level with flow aura)

two questions on this specifically:
- is this referring to only weapon hitboxes or all hitboxes (including squid form)
- was the squid form hitbox change applied to anywhere outside of multiplayer (e.g. singleplayer)

Nintendo Today says 7:00 PM CST so probably around there (add like 15 minutes or whatever obviously)

direct horizontal stamper does 55 total

does this matter? probably not

yeah (assists also count toward flow aura which is even more insane imo)

*ink placed on the ground

don't know why I said buff there

confirmed mobility (in addition to the ink buff)

from www.nintendo.com/en-gb/News/2...

also sensor-related buffs too (not sure how much these matter but it's another neat buff)

translation of the first post that started this says "boosting their athletic abilities" so I'm not entirely sure

not entirely one-sided though

completely speculative: this might be intended to give part of coolers buffs when you don't necessarily have cooler (as well as allow more kills of coolered opponents to have more value)

I guess indirect nerf in a weird way?

it was, in fact, not (only?) Splatfest/Tricolor in PB's
