You know what would’ve been cool for this game? A special Christmas day event where everyone in Turf War mode works together (spreading snow instead of ink) and the objective is to cover the map with as much snow as possible, while those enemies from the single player campaign (the ones that vacuum up ink) are trying to clear the snow. Could’ve featured Christmasy remixes of the Splatfest music tracks and awarded double XP/Super Sea Snails for taking part.

Very rarely. It’s a good idea to follow it on a price checker like PriceSpy or idealo to get notifications when it does drop, and you can see price history too. I’ve still not bought a Pro Controller for the Switch, primarily because of the price but also because I genuinely get on fine with the Joy-Con grip, it’s actually super comfy for me. If the Pro Controller ever gets a really good deal I’d probably get one though.

There was an update for this game the other day, it seems to have modified certain aspects of the UI and more importantly enabled the Switch's video capture feature! So of course the first thing I go and capture was this: Anyway, I'm on what must be the final boss battle at the moment, already failed a couple of attempts though. I am so bad a strategy games it's unreal. Will hopefully be able to beat it today. Then it looks like there will be quite a bit of backtracking to do, in order to hit 100% completion.

The absence of eShop cards online is very weird indeed. I see them all the time in shops. As already mentioned, WHSmiths is usually a safe bet, as is Wilko, always loads of them in there too.

Never say never and all that, but I doubt it. Pretty confident we’ll see a sequel though, probably not on Switch but at some point in the future. Hope so anyway. Yeah, saw the notification in-game yesterday when checking out the new character. Will be playing as Twintelle on that one I think, have always struggled with Master Mummy and his sluggish movement.

Yeah, just been reading about that. It’s a shame, but I guess the game just didn’t take off enough to warrant any more development time, especially on free DLC. Anyway, I’ve had a great time playing it and will probably continue to do so for quite a while yet, at least for the remaining Party Crashes.

Version 5 update is live! Did the new character steal part of Samus’ Varia suit?

What’s the plan for tonight then? Personally I’d like to do some Salmon Run, but if there are more than 4 players don’t mind doing Turf War or Private Battle instead. Anyway, will be heading online in about 20 minutes time. *EDIT* Nobody playing? I’m gonna go ahead and do some Salmon Run then, will set a room though so if anyone does want to join feel free.

Well, it was a shame we couldn’t do the reverse racing idea, but that was an entertaining final league night regardless. It’s been great playing with you lot again and I hope it will continue next year! We definitely need to do another “Smart Steering” GP at some point too. Cheers everyone!

@Glen-i, just when I thought you couldn't come up with anything crazier than the "Smart Steering" GP, you go and pull this utter insanity out of the bag! Needless to say I am very much IN!

Learnt a cheeky new technique from another player on Clam Blitz. They were on the opposing team and threw a clam towards me, which I initially tried to avoid, thinking it was a projectile , but once I realised it was just a clam and went to collect it, they then chucked in a bomb! Very nearly got me with it too. At first I thought they had thrown the clam by mistake (which I found hilarious at the time ) but looking back on it now it's actually a pretty cool tactical move. Captured a vid of it: This game keeps getting better and better, already played it way more than I did the Wii U original. Just wish they would patch out that bloody startup sequence! At the very least make it skippable!! It massively detracts from the quick pick up and play nature of the Switch.

Does it not fill the other spaces with randoms?

Man, I keep pressing R to try and throw the ball. Good games anyway.

Yeah, was also expecting Clam Blitz.

So, Clam Blitz for 4 then? See you in 15.

Sorry, my Switch decided to freeze so had to restart it. Intersting session tonight. I made such a spectacular fuck up on SNES donut plains, ended up boosting in the wrong direction and into the wall simultaneously.

If they were still playable this would be a day one buy for me. Don’t get why Capcom have removed that feature. Hopefully they add the prowler hunting style as DLC.

Mario x Rabbids on sale again!? Kinda wish I waited to buy that now. Will probably pick up some of the Inti Creates games that have been on my watch list for a while, and maybe Rocket League too.

Hmm... @Sméagol, you playing tonight? Looks like it’s gonna be Turf War otherwise.

Yeah, I'll be there.

My badge collection post-Party Crash: Over 100 now. Wasn't expecting to be awarded a Ribbon Girl badge from the 1st Party Crash, but there it is. Perhaps I'll get a Ninjara one next time.

I've used it a few times, yeah. Just not a fan of the battle gameplay in this really. Everything else is fantastic though. I'm up to world 4 now, the boss on the 3rd world was hilarious!! Nintendo let Ubisoft get away with quite a bit in this game, has made it all the more entertaining. I just wish the gameplay was more to my taste. If there's ever another Mario x Rabbids crossover in the future I would love for it to be based around the gameplay of Rabbids Go Home.

I hope so, Clam Blitz is awesome! Still not quite perfected the distance for passing/shooting clams, but just a matter of more practice I guess. Speaking of which, the recon feature in the lobby is pretty handy for that. Here's an amusing GIF from a Rainmaker battle I had the other day. Chasing someone all the way back to their base: OK, had a bit of help from some Tenta Missiles too, but still funny.

Yeah, the reason I say that is I do remember trying it out on something else (Wii or PC, not sure now) and it didn’t work on that with certain games which played fine with a standard GCN controller. Anyway, will definitely test it on Switch... if I ever find it.
