The official website for Voez has been updated with a few more details about the Switch game.

Most significantly, only portable play is supported due to incorporation of the touchscreen. There isn’t support for buttons, and you won’t be able to experience the title on the television as a result.

After purchasing Voez, 116 songs will be available. Ascension(xi) is in as an exclusive song on Switch, and even more exlusive music will be added for free down the road via updates.

One final note: Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, and Korean are all in.

Today, the Japanese Splatoon Twitter account highlighted a small change being made to Roller weapons in Splatoon 2.

This should help Roller players with covering more turf and with more easily closing the distance to opposing players.
