Rather than on a weekly basis, Nintendo is now bringing new weapons to Splatoon 2 each month. The additions for June have now been confirmed.

You’ll be able to try out the Custom Dualies Squelchers, Rapid Blaster Pro Deco, Sorella Undercover Brella, and Carbon Roller Deco. They’ll be going live on Thursday evening in North America, and early Friday morning in Europe.

We have the screenshots below:

Update: Final nail in the coffin regarding online play – there is none. There is wireless and play on the same screen, but no online.

Original: The Pokemon press conference has officially wrapped up in Tokyo, Japan. Before the event ended, two separate Q&As were held. One was led by The Pokemon Company itself. The second was hosted by longtime Pokemon developer Junichi Masuda.

In the first Q&A, there were reports about Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! not having any online features at all. However, during that second Q&A, Masuda allegedly confirmed that trading and battling can be done both locally and online. There was unfortunately no live stream event, so we’re relying on reports from those who were in attendance. Assuming online is in, it’s possible that the first Q&A only mentioned not using Nintendo Switch Online specifically, or co-op not being online. We’ll try to get final clarification as soon as possible.

In any case, on with the latest details:
