Splatoon Raiders is a single-player-focused action shooter for Splatoon veterans and newcomers alike. You take on the role of a mechanic embarking on a high-stakes adventure across the mysterious Spirhalite Islands.<\/p>\n<p>When you first fire up Splatoon Raiders you\u2019re treated to a loading screen that shows a swirling mass of clouds. If you\u2019re playing docked you have to stare at the clouds until they dissipate once the game is loaded. If you\u2019re playing handheld, you can actually use the touchscreen to swirl the clouds around. It\u2019s a little superfluous touch (literally), but still a nice Easter egg for portable players.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026just don\u2019t mess with those clouds too much.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been discovered that if you go crazy swirling the clouds during the loading screen, you can cause Splatoon Raiders to crash. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Splatoon_Raiders\/comments\/1v4f633\/i_found_a_new_bug_if_you_put_your_entire_hand_on\/?utm_source=embedv2&amp;utm_medium=post_embed&amp;utm_content=post_title&amp;embed_host_url=https%3A%2F%2Fkotaku.com%2Fsplatoon-raiders-loading-screen-secret-2000719133\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This was demonstrated by Redditor Stardazzle220<\/a> who placed their whole hand on the touchscreen while the game loaded, which eventually caused a crash. Obviously a very easy crash to avoid, but an interesting discovery nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt Nintendo will patch this out in the near future, so if you feel like crashing your game with an odd touchscreen glitch, you better get in on the \u201cfun\u201d now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Splatoon Raiders \u2013 an all-new single-player-focused title in the Splatoon series \u2013 is available on Switch 2 right&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":710947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-710946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=710946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/710947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=710946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=710946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=710946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
