Original (2/14): The news for Splatoon 3 continues, as it’s just been announced that an art book and soundtrack will be released in Japan.
The art book will cover the culture and stages players encounter in the Splatlands plus a look at other elements like weapons and gear, the single-player Hero Mode, Salmon Run, Tableturf Battle, and more. While the art book has only been announced for Japan currently, it’s very possible that a western release will happen later on – we’ll keep an eye out for news on that front.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet update coming soon (version 1.2.0), patch notes
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo and The Pokemon Company had previously announced that a significant update for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet was scheduled to release in February, providing bug fixes and adding new functionality. While we still don’t know when exactly the update will release this month, patch notes detailing the update’s additions have been released.
The main focus seems to revolve around Pokemon Box management, with the update making several quality-of-life changes to make navigating that menu more comfortable. Beyond that, a sweeping set of bug fixes are coming to Tera Raid Battles, as well as a handful of fixes coming to the general battle system and other elements of the game.
Contrary to last update, no special highlight is given to resolving issues surrounding the game’s performance, although presumably some of the changes made will improve this as well. It should also be noted that further features and bug fixes not listed in these patch notes are set to release with the update, so these aren’t the full list of changes either.
