Can I just ignore all those events and keep focus on playing Storyline Solo mode only ?
Meh, most of these challenges aren’t new and they almost always come at the worst times for me. You’d think Nintendo would learn after making Salmon Run 24/7. Foggy Notion is fun when I can play it.
Still waiting for the reveal of Side Order in a Direct or some kind of video this month or September. Maybe we’ll know when Nintendo talks about Drizzle Season 2023 after Splatfest?
@Anti-Matter Games known for its multiplayer. But if ya want to ignore that component, I guess you can.
The Challenge feature would be a lot better if it were it's own mode that was available all the time and just cycled different challenges when the maps change.
The current system is like Salmon Run in Splatoon 2 but significantly more limited.
2 hour play windows for challenges is egregious. i know its for fomo but ill never get why it has to be this harsh
Never did any challenges because of the awful times and this month’s Splatfest is going to be just Money vs. Love. I’m just waiting for Side Order news
I feel like I'm one of the only people who really likes Challenges, the only problem I have with them are the short timeframes really. Each challenge is a fun spin on the game, some of them completely flip the game on its head with stuff like Sheldon Sampler or the 2v2 mode, and others are just complete chaos like the Trizooka-only mode. It isn't a perfect mode a bit more variety would be appreciated, but each time I try one out I enjoy my time.
That said, still gonna agree that we need info on Side Order. It's one of my most anticipated 'games' at this point and if it keeps up the momentum after Octo Expansion and 3's story mode, Side Order could be a big gaming highlight this year for me.
Where's my Big Run? And what about my Side Order?!
@NatiaAdamo
Big Run seems to be once per season, so we'll probably see one in September.
Side Order will come when it's ready!
Interesting stuff right there, they bring a nice twist to the usual gameplay. Would be nice if these were done more often. I haven't participated in any, usually because of the timings.
@Anti-Matter You can ignore the events. They are optional, and they don't have anything to do with single player.
( I play online AND never do the challenge events.😉)
I really enjoyed the Trizooka challenge today, as I rarely use weapons with the Trizooka special and I'm pretty new to Tower Control, so it's been mayhem in the best way.
The only thing I would change (as others have said) is the time it's available for. Why not just let it run all day?
I don’t understand why Nintendo put effort into an event which takes a few hours. Time/cost vs reward doesn’t add up. Add more permanent content instead would be preferable
Looks cool, and it's neat that Xerox finally got into video hosting
