I recently tried installing Splatoon 3, the most recent update, and all the DLC yet it's not working and tells me that I need to download an update to use the train station. I have all the most recent updates for atmosphere & the switch so I am not sure why it won't work. I've tried installing it one part at a time and still doesn't work no matter which order I install the updates. If I install the update before the DLC and try to use the train it doesn't tell me I need to download an update, but instead tells me I need to go to the e-shop to buy the DLC, but as soon as I download the DLC it tells me I need to install an update to use the train, which I can't do as I'm not trying to get my switch banned. Has this been an issue for anyone else and has anyone figured out a workaround to get the DLC to work?

You need updated DLCs too.
What do you mean "updated DLCs"? I literally just obtained all 3 DLC, the newest update, and splatoon 3 files after the new DLC came out so they're the most updated DLC they can be... Still didn't work.

Edit: NVM I think I figured it out

Edit 2: Again NVM... They seem to still be the same files just compressed to the same file rather than being 3 separate compressed files. I did notice a lot of people had issues with accessing the content even when they paid for it. Still hoping someone figured out a way to get around it being buggy.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    He put it down when the 3ds came out

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
