Splatoon 3 will have Salmon Run available 24/7
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Salmon Run mode in Splatoon 3 will be available at all days and all times, Nintendo has confirmed.
This is noteworthy as things were handled differently in Splatoon 2. With that game, Salmon Run was restricted since it couldn’t always be played online. In fact, it wasn’t actually playable every day. Nintendo confirming that Salmon Run will always be open in Splatoon 3 is therefore a pretty big deal.

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Original (9/1): PQube has already been under fire after A Space for the Unbound publisher Toge Productions and developer Mojiken accused the company of “predatory practices”. Corecell Technology, the studio behind the AeternoBlade series, has now joined the fray as well.
In a statement, Corecell said PQube hasn’t provided full payment that was owed relating to a minimum guarantee and never paid for remaining milestones. Although the two sides terminated a publishing agreement, “PQube has refused to return the publishing control on the console platforms back to us and continues to sell and take all revenues from AeternoBlade II.” Nintendo has taken the game off of the Switch eShop in Europe, though Corecell hasn’t received any revenue from that region.
The full statement from Corecell reads as follows:
