Here in the Search nav, you can.... SEARCH. Start typing a game or gamer, it will autosuggest. Press one to go, or hit Enter to get the full search results.
Below the searchbox, you'll see recent games, gamers, clubs, events, and quests you've visited.
Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.
If you'd like to create and run a Club, submit an New Club Request.
Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.
Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
Fun puzzle game. If this were a mobile game today, it would have ads between every level and you would need 15 minutes to earn another life and you'd all still play it. It's free with even the basic Switch Online subscription and worth a shot if you like puzzle games, especially with save states and rewind making it far less punishing than it was on original hardware. No guns, no jumps, no special powers, just a cute blob and maybe a few bubbles. One hit will kill you, just have to figure out how not to get hit while collecting all the hearts to unlock the chest, get the chest to open the door. Do this 50 times and you'll beat the game.
It loses a star for some levels being a little un-fun with requiring very tight timing and/or RNG on enemy patterns and for the highly repetitive music. Mute your switch and put on a podcast.
I often enjoy puzzle games, and this one definitely has me intrigued. I just finished the first floor and enjoyed it enough that I'll likely come back to it later and see if I can beat it.
So 3 stars for now, but with the potential to go higher.
It's on the Nintendo Switch Online; so if you like puzzle games, check this one out!
Edit: Finished the game. Stays a 3, but that's a decent rating for a NES game IMO.
