“Much Needed Positivity” – Nintendo Makes Up for Splatoon 3 Delay With a Solid Switch Online Expansion Pack Addition

Published 04/23/2022, 2:45 PM EDT

A DLC expansion has made its way to the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, and April can’t get any better. Speaking of, Splatoon 2: Oct Expansion DLC is available absolutely free as a part of your membership. However, the fans must own Splatoon 2’s full version to play this DLC. And those who own the title, but aren’t subscribed to Switch Online, can get the DLC at eShop, as it’s available as a standalone purchase.

This 2018 released DLC offers exciting challenges and features a whopping 80 single-player campaign missions. Also, this DLC allows fans to play as Octoling (Agent 8). In fact, upon the DLC’s completion, it’ll unlock Octolings (Girl or Boy) as a new playable character in the title’s multiplayer mode. Moreover, through this addition, Nintendo just made up for Splatoon 3 delay.

Better Nintendo, better.
I already have that one so it does nothing for me but add a few more and we can talk. FE would be nice for me.
Or get Ogre Battle 64. Immediate sub for that.
