Splatoon 2 – European Splatfest #1 results
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 25 Comments
Nintendo has posted the results for Splatoon 2’s first European Splatfest. As was the case in North America and Japan, mayonnaise was the winner.
Ketchup was significantly more popular than mayonnaise. However, thanks to one percent wins in both solo and team battles, mayonnaise came out on top.
The final score: mayonnaise: 2, ketchup: 1.

Nintendo lists NBA 2K18 as having amiibo support for Switch on Japanese store listing
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 15 Comments
Nintendo’s Japanese store has added in a listing for the Switch version of NBA 2K18. According to the page, the game will feature amiibo support. We’re currently assuming that the page is accurate rather than being an error.
It’ll never happen, but it’d be hilarious if you could have characters such as Mario and Luigi playing alongside the likes of LeBron James. I’m pretty curious to see what the functionality turns out to be…
Ubisoft CEO says making Starlink is risky, but thinks “there are lots of people who want this type of game”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 16 Comments
The toys-to-life market currently isn’t where it used to be a few years ago. It’s been on the decline, as is evident by the lack of a new Skylanders game this year and the slowdown of LEGO Dimensions.
Given the market, it came as a surprise to many when Ubisoft announced Starlink: Battle for Atlas at E3. Players can buy and attach physical starships to controllers. The concept is risky, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has admitted, but the company believes “that there are lots of people who want this type of game.”
Guillemot told GamesIndustry:
“We thought that bringing 2.0 of that model was potentially very interesting. We’ll see. It’s a risk, but we feel that there are lots of people who want this type of game. Maybe they don’t want to say it, but they do want to buy it.”
Breath of the Wild’s next DLC will add more Zelda-related equipment
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 14 Comments
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has one more DLC pack to go. Following The Master Trials, Nintendo is also working on The Champions’ Ballad.
We’ve slowly been learning more about the next round of DLC. At Japan Expo in France last month, series producer Eiji Aonuma confirmed that the shirt Link starts out with in The Wind Waker will be added. That’s not all though. In a new blog post on Breath of the Wild’s Japanese website, Aonuma teased that other Zelda-related equipment will also be offered.
The Champions’ Ballad DLC for Zelda: Breath of the Wild launches this holiday. You’ll still be playing as Link, but you’ll learn more about Zelda. The DLC will also feature a new dungeon, an original story, and more new challenges.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
