Splatoon 2’s first actual Splatfest carries the same topic worldwide. It’s the battle of the condiments: mayonnaise and ketchup.
Even in the battles themselves, Nintendo is holding true to the Splatfest theme. The ink colors have the same exact mayonnaise and ketchup theme. Pretty neat, right?
The first Splatfest is already underway in Japan. It’ll begin at 12 AM ET / 9 PM PT tonight. In Europe, it’s scheduled to start at 4 PM on Saturday. Each event lasts for a full day.

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Ask An Enemy Studios has announced its new game A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher for Switch. The twin stick shooter is tentatively slated for the end of 2017.
Here’s an overview:
A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher is a Split Screen Single Player Twin Stick Risk ‘Em Up in which your score is meaningless unless you exist. You control two ships simultaneously. Kill enemies to earn points on the left, recover resources to multiply those points on the right, but most importantly you must decide when to keep your score. Playing till death is not an option.
And a trailer:
A Kickstarter campaign for A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher is located here with a $45,000 funding goal. However, the page suggests that even if the project isn’t funded, development will continue.
